    Default About breeding Bettas...?

    I watched a youtube video where someone showed how to transform Walmart bowls...etc., into Betta aquariums. The bowls had gravel and even a heater. I heard that Bettas tend to be more 'breedable' when they have bigger tanks. Just for fun, if the Bettas were kept in such bowls, would they still be able to breed when transferred to a bigger 'mating' tank?

    moving your betta around from tank to tank can be stressful for them, i breed and recommend starting a 10gallon breeding set up if your considering breeding. Even tho some will say smaller is better, i disagree with that totally.
    In the spawning process the male will harrass and nip at the female. The female needs enough room to swim around and hid from the male when doing so, until she is ready to mate with him, She will also deny if the bubble nest isnt up to her standards and knows its not big enough for all her eggs. She will check him and the nest out from time to time until its good enough. The males will constantly flare and show off to her and chase her around trying to get her to follow him to the nest to spawn. Even tho female bettas are Faster swimmers than the male, in a smaller tank the female has no where to go, making her open for fatal harrassments and bites. Providing a bigger tank for them will give her a great chance and in getting away and hidding from him when tired, or needing a rest.
