myfishybuisness Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 how old must the fighters be to breed as i have a ct pair and the male is blowing bubble nests and the female is fat and when i put them together all that happens is he beats her up and blows bubble nests but NO BREEDING :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannosaurus Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Sometimes that's the way it goes. If they've been in the same tank together for three days or more without spawning, I'd give them a break from one another. It also helps if you put the female in the tank with the male, but separate them until they both show signs of being ready. (Male has a bubble nest, female has the vertical breeding bars.)

diver21 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 most people here use a clear fizzy bottle with the top and bottom cut off, and approx 3 days in the tank seperated so they can both still see and display to each other. i think its about the 4-6 months old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali. Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Hi i have the same questions too. I just got two bettas 5 days ago and they can see each other, the male has just built a bubble nest and i have never had Bettas before and dont know what to do. They are both in breading traps that i use for my guppys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfishybuisness Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 ok mine are from david in hamilton and i think they are only 3 months so they might have a little bit to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver21 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 davids seem to be unusally large for their size, you can oly give them a go, breeding tank with female seperated by coke bottle for 3+ days the release her just before lights out and see how she is in the morning.

Usually I'd release during the day so I can keep an eye on them? Fish can be killed on a matter of minutes when sleeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
