I finally did it!

I mustered up the nerve to breed my Best in Show boy.....I had been putting it off because he is my BABY......I did not want him to get hurt or damaged.....With the show season coming to an end I decided to keep him home this last show and breed him......This will be my last breeding of 2009 (maybe) lol.....He went into the spawn tank in full coat (finned) and came out untouched.....

Here is the happy couple and my next generation...

Hi!

I'm not familiar with betta breeding. I've heard of bubble nests though - are those eggs on the top of the water in your pictures? This is quite exciting!!! Let's hope your betta has lots and lots of beautiful babies!!! Pictures will be expected

Lucy, she did wonderful.....She has a few nips but nothing major.....She was so cute helping put the eggs in the nest.....Both of these kids are older so I was a little worried....Like I said, I kept putting it off.....

Mommy and Daddy are both happy and back in their tank.....

Lucy,

They enjoy me watching lol...This is why my Bettas are so personable because they get used to my face staring at them from the time they are eggs lol

Thanks guys...I'm working on fattening them up right now lol....

Tony, this spawn should produce multi's and mustard gas....(the color of the female) The parents of the blue boy were both mustard gas....
