fishbreeder Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 hello betta breeders, when do the girls develop egg spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 If you are lucky and with good growth, from about 11 weeks on. Be way however that sometimes egg spots are not what they seem. Slower developing males may 'appear' to be females up to 4 months of age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbreeder Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 yes i know that. i got some fighters off here and saw some fighting so sexed them and one that i thought was a female ended up blowing a nest and trying to breed with a female in the growing tank!

melrick1 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I had a tank of females (5 of them) feeding them up for breeding. they decided they wanted to breed now and they mad a bubble nest an layed their eggs. Looked after them in the nest for a couple of days untill I actualy gave them a male. Females ay haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 so, one of them must be a male then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbreeder Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 sounds like u had a male who was pretending to be a girl! i had one of those. i took out 7 of my oldest fry (8weeks) coz they are tiny like 1/3 the size of the rest.
