In my college days back in 2016/2017, I had my 1st betta fish. after a few months I planned to breed this fish. And so I researched in the internet all about betta breeding and also asked some friends and breeders about there experiences. Combining the Information i gathered, it was confusing...

Well a biopsy would be good. It is a closed lump and no openings so i don't think it is a cyst of some sort and it looks more like a tumor. I don't know if they do biopsy for fishes though. If it is an abscess, antibiotic treatment should do the trick, but if it does not shrink after the...

I'm pretty sure its a tumor. That can happen to betta's with dragon scaling like your female. The only way to treat it is surgical removal. Or you can just leave it and hope that it is benign. If it keeps growing then it is malignant and needs removal.

Picture's are a bit blurry but it seems that he is just changing color. Usually as a betta ages they will remove or add color in their patterns. I would suggest a better quality picture.

The betta fries are now over a month old, unfortunately only 8 survived. However all looked healthy and show no deformity of some sort except for one with a swimbladder disorder. After another month I'll post the 7 healthy fry for us to see.

I think he'll be fine. Bettas can change their color slightly as they grow old. Unless it is a growing mass then yeah that's bad.

In my experience female bettas that grew up in the same spawn tend to be quite nicer to one another. So i suggest having sisters if your planning.

Quite common actually here in my country. Im guess that you dont see that everyday.

Hello again everyone i have removed the male ( or is it a female? I don't know at this point LOL, lets just call it a HE) and I was able to take some close up pics of the fish after removing the male from the fry for us to be able to compare its time it was a female 9 months ago. If you are...

betta nothing else to say hehe...

betta nothing else to say hehe...

I will. At least you believe me. Most of my friends here think Im crazy or joking around, lol even with the articles I said. For now I guess I should post the fry grow out every month to see if there are differences between the fry from the 1st breeding session.

Ver Very Interesting article. how come I did not come across this article... anyway seems like genetics among fishes are still a mystery. Maybe but it is really rare to see this happening since they don't need to sex change? unlike clownfish where they need to sex change to female once the...

Well here in the Philippines temperatures can range 30 to 40 C. so maybe it is because of the temperature that boosted them to hatch quickly. And yes with my years of breeding bettas here in the Philippines it only takes one to two days for the eggs to hatch. Pfrozen here are some of the...

Pfrozen here are some of the articles I read pertaining to the sex change of female bettas. Sex reversal in female Betta splendens as a function of testosterone manipulation and social influence - PubMed https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2139&context=etd Sadly these are the only...
