I'm wanting to breed some bettas, for several reasons. I want to have everything prepared, and everything proper for breeding.
If I can't afford the things that are needed, or if I cannot do those things, maybe breeding isn't for me.
But thats what I wanted to find out!
TANK LIST
10g Spawning Tank
20g long Fry Tank
2 - 10g Fry Tanks
(i plan to divide the 20g by 8 ways.)
(the 10's would be divided each 4 ways.)
Or could I divide even more?
Do they each need 2.5g's of room?
I am pretty sure that my advanced LFS will be willing to buy them, since they have pretty quality care with their fish, and bettas.
I feel safe leaving fry there since I have been buying from them for a while, and noticed their VERY healthy bettas.
I'm maybe wanting to breed Elephant Ear Bettas, is it any harder than breeding a simple halfmoon?
Or is it just as normal, because if it is I would LOVE to do it.
ITEM LIST
4 - 50w Heaters
4 - Sponge Filters
2 - AQUANEAT LED Clip On (for the 20g)
3 - LED Lights
Indian Almond Leaves
(questions)
What LED Light do you guys recommend for the spawning, and the 10g grow out tanks?
Please help me with this topic! Yes, I am aware that this is a hard job, and time consuming but I'm up for it!

Also, I found another question that is asked, it is that have you kept bettas for a while.
I haven't kept them for that long, I've been keeping them for 2 years.. but thats not that long.
I have LOTS of experience with bettas, I've kept females, and males.
I have a elephant ear betta at the moment, that is a beautiful juvenile betta.
Most of my family members have bettas too, so I've learned a lot from them too.
