    Default How do i Breed bettas?

    Hello,
    My name is angelica,
    This is my first time breeding bettas and I need some information for this to be correct

    For example,
    My female betta isn't Very young but fairly young and my male is a little older,
    I let them approach each othr this afternoon for the first time(in seperate tanks), but he began flaring at her and a black liqiud came from his gills, I was concerned so I removed her, and I'm not sure what to do now

    Angelica, welcome to the forums!

    If you look at the first couple threads in this forum (prefaced by Sticky you will see a lot of great posts by our resident breeder on exactly what to do.

    Also the black liquid was probably his "beard".

    Did it look like that? That is a normal part of flaring Different fish have different colored beards. My one has a black one and the other has a really deep red No worries.

    to add to maryannes post i would suggest also books and surfing the net... you can find some really good points and great ideas by other people. i think you shouldnt limit yourself to one site/person for info. also if you know someone who breeds or has bred bettas i suggest talking to them as well.
    AND HEY!!! (im mel)

    Optimum temp for bettas is 27 degrees celcius or 80 F

    Need to ask me about converting something from litres to gallons or vice versa or temp from the farenheit to celcius, inches to centimetres. I'M HERE!
