Koi Betta Breeding Journal

[Guanchy]

Hey Everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

So I succesful bred my male and female betta this past week which I'm super excited about! I dicided to share with you guys the experience in this thread and the fry growth as well!

Here is my male (yellow) and female (red)

And here is the set up:

10g tank, fill to about 30% of water.
Tons of Indian Almond Leaves.
Lots of Java fern in a corner of the tank for the female to hide.
A heater
Tight lid with a lamp
A breeding box to first introduce the female

Before introducing them to the 10 gallon I fed them for about a week lots of blood worms because its rich in protein and its great to condition the pair for breeding! (I'm sure must of you know this, but in case a new member is reading the thread)

And here is a quick video of when I first introduced the female into the tank

And last here is a picture of the male guarding the eggs

You can see some of the eggs under the bubble nest

Thank you guys! Ive had Tiger for a while and ive been looking for a koI female for the longest that I like the pattern, colors etc.. and finally found Rose a few weeks ago and she is just as stunning!

Tiger was so great, no aggression what so ever. I was so shocked

Haha sounds like a plan!

Depending on what the babies look like, and what the price is, I will probably be interested in buying one as well!
