Michelle.g Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi. I'm pretty new to breeding bettas, about 3 months ago my bettas spawned for the first time and I'm currently raising the fry. I left the female in a clear plastic separator within the breeding tank so the male could see her for about 2 days before she was released. I gave the male floating polystyrene but he chose to build a nest in the floating plant instead, so I recommend that you give him plenty of options for a place to build a nest. If you have a filter running make sure the water is not too turbulent. I also keep one male and two female bettas in my community tank where there is plenty of water movement, but recently I had my filter off for a day to do some repairs and overnight the male built a huge bubble nest. Also, how long do you leave the male and female together? It took mine about 24 hours until they finally figured out how to spawn. Good luck with your bettas.
