BREEDING BABY SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH/ BETTA FISH! SIX STEPS!

STEP 5

The crucial time has arrived. You must now place your female Siamese fighting fish /betta fish in the water with the male. Tense moments! There may be some rough treatment, maybe some fin nipping or even worse.

If you see it gets too rough then you must remove your female and wait for a few days, letting her recover.

When you see the male caressing the female with his fins and forcefully wrapping his tail around her body, then you should have success.

Your female Siamese fighting fish/ betta fish should then produce eggs under the bubble nest.

The male will then fertilize them and begin to take care of the eggs.

This is the time to remove your female otherwise she can become food for the male. She has done her job.

STEP 4.

This is the time when you must observe what your Siamese fighting fish/betta fish are doing. They must seem to have recognized each other, and the male will make gestures while flashing his long fins around.

Your male Siamese fighting fish/betta fish should also start to create a bubble nest.

While doing all of this you must also feed your fish with high quality food.

There are different recommendations, some use freeze dried blood worms, some live or frozen brine shrimp, and others use tubifex worms and so on. Remember not to overfeed.

Now, after having the high quality food, your female Siamese fighting fish/ betta fish should sort of plump up as eggs are produced. She will now be ready.
