Billaney Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 let him see a female, not get too a female , maybe put her in a tank next door or a breeding trap , he should start building pretty fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billaney Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 hehhehe kool.I took mrs betta out as he was beating her up. I'd say that would be because he was ready and she wasn't, thats why its good to let them see each other without getting to each other , gets them in the mood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistymu05 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 not all males will build a nest when theyare ready to mate - mine didnt second time round. It just meant alot of work for him cos he was forever chasing the eggs so i just made sure the water was really low so that wen the eggs hatched the babies had hardly any distance to swim to get to the top and the air.....
