Long story short, you Betta not do it.
Yeah something is fishy here
Hahahaha I got the joke now 😆
Yea! I agree, betta bak off buddy.
Very, very informative, I picked up several tips, I have had bettas for years, but have never had a breeding pair , this will be my next challenge.
Thanks! At your service 🫡🫡
I have so many conditions about Betta fish breeding but this video was cleared all my questions.thank u
Happy to hear it! Thanks much 🙏
I’m getting one in a week for Xmas and this was so helpful u are amazing 🤩
Awesome! Good luck. 👍
The fish pictured in the video are just gorgeous. The tips are very good. Where the female is larger, I have seen one of my males wrap his Fins around the girth of the female, and successfully spawn. It is probably a rare occurrence, but I have witnessed it.
Thank you! Means lot to the channel. You are right, I have seen giant female vs normal male also worked sometimes. But chances are little less. 👍
Great quality content mate. Solid explanation. Can you please teach us how to cross breed betta to make vivd colored betta fish. nothing is impossoible. Pls make a video on this thanks again
The best video about betta breeding everr❤
Thanks! It’s great encouragement. Hope it takes to many people. 👍🙏
Thank you for sharing your videos ☺️
My pleasure! Glad you like it.
Always hoping to have a betta fish from you guys
Sure, thanks for your support!
Thank you for the educational video. It really helped to understand what we needed to look for in ours betas during their time of breeding
Glad it was helpful! My pleasure.
Help full bro
Thanks bro!!
Excellent video. Comprehensive, and very well explained, with good video quality.
One observation from me.... Sometimes, we release the female after a day even though the bubble nest may not be well formed. Since bubble nest building ability varies greatly among male Bettas, I find it better to wait an extra day in some cases, before releasing the female.
One question.... How many days after a breeding attempt (successful or failed) can a Betta be taken up for breeding again?
Also, please post a video on care of newborn Betta fry.
Male betta fish can be ready for breeding just by waiting for a week. If your betta fishes were healthy and no serious injuries, it’s good to start after 1 week of current breeding session.
Thank it’s help full
Appreciate your comment. It’s encouraging! Glad it’s helpful. Good luck with your breeding. 😀👍
Nice explain bro
Thanks brother!
I have a good looking samurai betta I’m looking into breeding him in the future for family gifts good video!
Good luck! ❤️❤️❤️🫡
Wow great boss
👍👍
my first breeding attempt failed, this video helped me a lot, next time I know what to do. Thank you!
Glad I could help! Good luck for next season. 😊👍
What do I do if the female is too scared of the male? I made a divider and they got to see each other for more than a day before I released them. The female looks older than 4 months, could it be because the bubble nest is too small?@@aquadiaryofficial
Great video
Glad you like it👍
LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thank you!
Could you make a video about how to take care of Fries and if you need to separate the females and males? How many you should expect, and so forth. Thank you if you decide to! I was told to have a LOT OF TANKS and other necessities . Ik my male is young. He's small. I haven't gotten the shrimp food yet for the brine. I will be this week. I'm still doing more research before jumping into it.😊
Thanks! I’m Glad you liked it. Check out this playlist for videos about fry care, when to separate male/female, fast fry growth tips and more. Hope you find it helpful!

So can a giant male betta Breed with a normal sized female?
Thank to this channel i have 128 betta fry bad news is where do i put it😂
Haha! Now you are on other side of an issue. If you put bottles, people will jump at you saying betta needs 5 gallons. 😂😂
I just fed a pair a few days ago and I’m anxiously awaiting the fry.
Good luck! ❤️❤️🫡🫡
I am planning on breeding soon when I get more room in my fish tank or if I buy another so this vid helps!

I plan to breed in about a month. I will definitely use these tips to try to have a successful spawn! Thanks a lot ❤
Some questions,
• how big should my breeding tank be?
• how long can I keep the babies together before they get aggressive
Atleast 5 gallons size.. more empty space for female to run around is better. Some breeders use circular plastic tubs as female don’t get cornered to attack. Keep the height of the water from bottom is low.
You can keep them together till 10 weeks, then start separating the aggressive ones. Below playlist have all breeding tips and tricks discussed. Hope it helps. 👍

I also breed many pairs. Sometimes I meet problems but I do not know the cause. Thanks for your video that answer to me.
Happy to help!
@@aquadiaryofficial ❤️️❤️️
Im the fast ,,,its soo help full i made the mistake by piting biger female more than male
Yeah, we learned that by trying out. Glad the video is helpful. 👍👍
@@aquadiaryofficial bro i have a question i have nemo placket male and platinum elephant eyer female if i breed them what will happened ??
I wanted to breed my bettas and it was a success but 1 day later the male was not blowing bubbles to the fry. So I have no fry left😢
Bro always remember even the best Betta breeder fail says in this vid
Exactly! Sometimes it happens. Either male is inexperienced or something else. But keep trying.
👍
I found it works best when I put a female into the males tank which is a 20 gallon, heavily planted.That way she has plenty of hiding places.When they ready then I supply material for the bubble nest to stay.
Interesting. Glad it’s working this way. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you for this video! When is the best time to do a water change when the frys starts free swimming?
I would not change till first week unless there are known issues in the breeding tank. Once frys are about 1-2 weeks, transfer them to bigger tank.
Hey Im wondering how can you tell how old is your betta male or female? And what can you feed the fry? Or the newly hatched frys that learned how to swim?
We have video in channel to know age of your fish. Checkout channel page.
infusoria, baby Brian shrimp are best foods for betta babies. Yes, it works
You forgot another one. Dont use deep water. I recommend 3- 6 inches of water height to prevent fry from drowning also no rocks, stones or any type of gravel to prevent egg loss
Great points! Very helpful tips for beginners ❤️❤️👍
@@aquadiaryofficial thanks again
Great Vid Sam!
I have a female and male together in a heavily planted 3 gallon, they get along mostly but the male chases her sometimes, the female isn't old enough to breed, but the male is. do you think they will breed as she matures? or should i remove her from the tank until she is older??? otherwise they live together just fine at the moment
A female with a visible egg spot and an egg-filled stomach is ready to breed. Usually, if a female is over 4-5 months old, she is physically mature for breeding. Still, I'm concerned about 3-gallon tank with male and female. The female may be always hiding from the male and under stress. In case both are mature but still not mating, I would move the female away for a week and then put her back. Good luck!
@@aquadiaryofficial Awesome! Thank you for your help!
@@aquadiaryofficialI did this too....I removed the the female for a day bcoz the couple did not spawn the first time I joined them together...second attempt was successfully thou...
@@mohdzaki1089 happy to hear, it’s worked for you. 👍🙏
Brother Sam helps to clarify how old the cream fish could be to breed beautiful and colorful offspring
Thanks you🙏
Female bettas will be fully grown in 4 months. Bettas are good for breeding 4-12 months. Color full betta fishes based on the parent genetics. It’s advised to buy bettas from reputed breeders who can be trusted for genetics.
@@aquadiaryofficial yes... Thanks you brother🙏
Thank you for video. I am new sub. We have male and a female elephant from Petco. Don't think we'd breed them... they are in their own tanks separately.
Welcome to the family! Dumbos are always looks cool & not as aggressive as other genetics. I’m sure, they must be beautiful. ❤️👍
@@aquadiaryofficial wow...ya really do reply!! 🤗
Hey, do Betta camouflage? Like a chameleon? Princess DeDe has dark purplish silk leaves and is a dark color and Prince Gil has lighter leaves and is lighter colors
@@HELENGodLoves bettas don’t camouflage. But naturally change the color in period of time based on tank environment which is permanent. Also they look dull when they are stressed or scared of predators, but get the color back when in full form. 👍
At what stage of the fry (how many days) should we make the transition from Infusoria to Baby Brine Shrimp?
I usually start them in 4-5 days.
Thanks for sharing the video but avoid the negative content. Comparing to positive content negative content is more you can motivate how to not to make mistakes
Sathya - I agree. But sometime, it’s better to educate what not to do. It just like teaching kids as don’t touch the fire instead of they learning hard way. Also, I have lot of positive content on breeding in my channel, there is a full playlist on breeding. But somehow, people interested only in this video. Thanks for commenting. 🤣🤣
I actually found this video to be very positive, between the video and the comment section (latest to earliest), I have 5 pages so far :). However, I do understand your comment negative teaching vs positive teaching, as there is a lot of don't do this don't do that type of videos out there. I believe aquadiaryofficial presented this in a good- bad- good way, where he mentioned what not to do, with examples of what to do.
Hlo sir i m going to breed silver body with red fins OHM male n royal blue Female betta is it good to do cross breed ???
Sir, true..Failed thrice as I released the female prior the building of the bubble nest by the male. Then my male was over plummaged that it couldn't swirl around the female. Trying onve more with its tail groomed
Good luck bro. Glad my video helps. 👍
Mines ate before and after egg laying
Her egg spot should drop more if the female is really ready to spawn
👌👍👍
Bro my 2males were making bubble nest so I bought 2 females for them but i hot know both females are still babies they are small in size compared to male
@@mraffangaming3013 that’s even better they like to breed when younger
What could be good alternatives to almond leaves? Are maple leaves ok?
Yes, maple leaf, dried banana leafs or driftwood can do the same.
Oh So That's Why My Son's Crown tail Won't Breed With The Halfmoon The King Crown Was Too aggressive Guess we just need to breed the same patterned bettas
Nothing left except these
Hi, I've got a question, what can I get by crossing a full black to a red Galaxy? Thanks for the heads up
Yes, you can.
I have a question , I'm trying to breed a pair but every time I release the female , the male will flear around for 20 seconds and then he strikes the female , I repeat the process but the male still strikes her , what should I do next? Help me plz?
thank you so much. so i have my male, he’s created a huge bubble nest, i released the female at night and checked them in the morning and nothing. female is full of eggs. white spot visible.
so i tried with another female. same exact thing. it looks to me like he’s just too friendly. this is my first time trying this but i’ve watched a lot of videos and tips about breeding so i believe i’m doing everything right but nothing😞😔
Yes, sometimes this happens. If they are not hurting eachother, keep it for one more day and see.
Sometime the breading happen in the morning,
@aquadiaryofficial I kept my two bettas together for a whole week and nothing. They were completely fine, with no aggression from either one of them.
I inevitably separated them back into their own tanks. Their tanks are clear, and beside one another, still no aggression.
After watching this video, I can see where I failed in my attempt. I don't have the almond leaves - my dog ate them- can I use just the salt?
I stumbled upon your video, and I am so happy I did. Many notes have been taken, following, and studying your videos. 😊 I'll let you know if I make another attempt!
Do you turn off aerators and filters during the process?
Yes, usually my breeding setups will not even have filters or bubblers installed

Thank You!
You're welcome! ❤️❤️❤️🫡
Hey I’ve conditioned both the male and female and introduced them correctly but the male didn’t make a decent bubble nest and then the female was running away from him, I think I disturbed them and they were stressed but I plan on maybe trying again or getting another female do you have any other tips please ?
Don’t release female until make start building bubblenests. Usually that’s the sign of interest. Keep the female next to him(but not in same tank to attack) for couple of days and see whether he build nest
Heyyyy.
Damian from trini.
Will they breed in a ten gallon aqurium???
Yes for sure!
Hi
I have two female betta fish and one male. In starting my female was running away from him so I bought the new female and face the same issue but after 2 weeks one of my female was ready to breed. Now the breeding was successful however my other female also ready to breeed as I can see her belly is big. Just wanted to ask can I use the same male betta for breeding now at the same time.
Please reply asap
Thank you
Give atleast 2 weeks for male to recover, feed him quality or live food. otherwise he may become very weak during next setup. Breeding is lot of work for males.
Where do I set up my breading tank. Does noise or sound affect the beta breading.
Yes, less noise and not much movement areas are better for betta breeding. I would avoid living room or rooms where you have TV or sound systems to avoid noise
What do you say about the problem of fattening fry betta fish Especially in the first ten excuse days
It’s kind of normal. You can check on my video about fry growth from 0-3 months. You can see some footages with bloated frys due to eating habit. But they will settled down soon. Check this video for full progress. But if you see them, way too much fattening, need attention to further check. th-cam.com/video/wEfED_RjTTk/w-d-xo.html
@@aquadiaryofficial thank you so much bro❤️

My betta male and female are together since I got them is it a problem because they're not fighting
i put gem gravel in my betta tank and now she is rich
😆😆😆😆
Can I use table slat
Yes, but should not have iodine or processed salts like pink/black salts.
how does salt help with breeding? What difference does it make with almond leaves
Great question. It needs full video to talk about benefits and how to selectively use it. New video coming soon. Almonds leaves, below video gives some context. 👍
th-cam.com/users/shortsgFSITPxxwyU?feature=share
Ive failed 3 times in a row now... My male keeps eating the eggs.. I condition the water with almond leaves extract, temperature at 27 degrees celcius, water quality is pristine, and the male and female are breeding like crazy when they are together... But the male keeps eating the eggs after about a day.. Gonna try again next week, and see if i get some more luck then xD
Are you trying same betta male everytime? Usually, betta eat the eggs if they are unhealthy, to avoid water contamination or impacting other eggs. But some bettas are tricky, they start eating eggs or fry as they like the taste of them.
@@aquadiaryofficial No, ive only tried with one male now, so I think he just likes them 😂 my friend told me i could try with her male next time if it doesn't work now 😁 Thanks for the fast response! 🙌
My female betta is wanting to breed but my male betta doesn’t want to. He built a bubble nest prior. Any tips..?
You mean male not making bubble nest now?
Betta breeding tank blue cure othulama bro please reply
No bro. You don’t need that. It’s primarily for fungal infections
but the types are diffrent female is fancy then the man is halfmoon
how sir how to breed
That’s fine. Give a try. Good luck!
I'm having trouble breeding my bettas. So they look like they are read. The male has a nice looking nest. The females colors have changed and she has that white thing under her belly. They have been fed well for a while now. But every time I let the female out he chaves her and looks like he wants to kill her. Idk if I'm doing something wrong. Or if they just need more conditioning or should I not remove the female even if he is chasing her. What should I do.
More conditioning. Did you put female with male by separater or glass container before releasing?
Hii bro.... Can we breed alternative type of male and female
Yes, cross breeding is possible. but one type will dominate on babies. But there is chance of undesirable fin shape, also risk of health issues on babies based on quality of the parents.
I have done everything a fighting fish needs to reproduce, but I have a problem. I do not have Artemia or anything else. What should I do?
If no access to live food, try yellow egg yolk. This video talks about home made fry foods that you can prepare including steps to feed egg yolk. Hope it helps. Good luck with betta breeding. th-cam.com/video/LTTAuemuLGY/w-d-xo.html
My female is more agressive than male...male looks very small in size
Tried breeding my male with 2 separate females both times failed.
1. With a more peaceful female , kept her in a glass jar for 2 days while the male build a nest . Female had vertical strips and egg spot but soon as i released her he started chasing and even after 4-5 hrs no breeding had to remove the female due to her fins getting damaged by male.
2. With an aggressive female, kept her again for 2-3 days in glass and male build the nest then released her again he started chasing her and after 3 hrs her fins were torn too.
The male has been with me for 9+ months now not sure of his actual age but he is active and fins are healthy and suggestions how can i get him to breed ?
Male chasing female before releasing eggs are normal. You can wait upto 1 day for them to mate. keep in round/oval breeding tank, so female don’t get cornered to attack. Also inspect the bubble nest, if bubble nests were not healthy, females will not be interested. If it’s keep happening, change the male. Also inspect females stomach visibly looks big with eggs.
@@aquadiaryofficial yeah she had swollen stomach with egg spot as well but due to her condition of fins had to remove her it was severely torn by the male . Is tht normal
Bro can feed dried turboflex worms while conditioning
Yes you can
@@aquadiaryofficial eggs ku endha damage um varadha ah bro???

i made a mistake putting rocks in my breeding tank. now the male cant reach a few that sunk to the bottom and didnt learn to swim
After eggs have hatched, where do yall get the brine shrimp and how do you get de shrimp ready?
Wow! It’s a great question. It involves few steps and processes. Interestingly this is the next video I’m working on. “Best betta fry food with quick steps to make them” must be in the channel soon.
@@aquadiaryofficial ill be waiting!
Can the male kill the female to protect the eggs if she’s left in the tank to long after, or not removed at the proper time?🤔
Great and helpful video btw🙏
Yes! Male will keep attacking the female. But female succeeds on eating all eggs. Because female will have energy by eating eggs. Male is already working hard on placing in bubble nest.
🙏
Do you have to put plants in before breeding
It’s just to maintain the pH level. Also if you get chance to add almond leaves it prevent egg gets fungal infection
hello sir can i breed betta when the mala is big then the female is small?
Yes! But female must have visible eggspot to be sure it’s matured. 👍
Sir my Betta Bulit a big bubble nest but not eating and Rolling
Can i keep the female betta lobger in the tank to have less fry?
No. You may loose most of them or female get injured as make will be keep attacking. If you really want less fry, keep the male betta for little longer once babies grow. He will start eating.
is it okay to put small gravel substrate at the bottom of the breeding tank?
I would avoid. It will often cause difficulty to collect fry or egg from bottom. Also, if betta miss to notice eggs in bottom, it will spoil the water. Eventhough sand or gravel substrate are tiny, I would avoid unless you can’t change the tank.
Can we put rockes
It’s better to avoid as it’s hard for male to fallen fry if they go between them.
When should I release the female after putting it in a glass in the container/aquarium?
Once male built bubble nest and slowdown on aggression
Does it have to be the same type of beta to breed?
No. You can do cross breeding. Check our playlist about genetics to understand how cross breeding works. Good luck👍👍
Good day when is breeding season for bettas
💪💪🫡
Any season from what I've read so far in the comments. Depending on the temperature of the room they are in, will decide on whether or not a tank heater is required.
Season only matters because of the temperature of the season, they can breed when he makes a bubble nest and she has her verticle stripes, and her egg sack has visibly dropped low.
I’m wanting to breed my Bettas, and I’ve had them in a divided tank for about a week. The male had quite a big bubble nest going, so I lifted the divider. The fish aren’t fighting, but the male is running away from the female? The female isn’t biting or doing anything to the male, but he still runs away from her. Is this normal behaviour? In normal circumstances I’d assume it would be the other way around.
This not normal, but can happen. Is your fake bigger than male? Are you seeing female hurting male by chance? Did male show interest in the female when the divider was placed
can we change the fish aggressiveness
Larger tank, hiding place, proper light makes them adjust. But it’s more of genetics, red or blue breeds are genetically aggressive. White, Dumbo ears, cellophane varieties are considerable less aggressive.
@@aquadiaryofficial THANK YOU SO MUCH
but unfortunate i put male and female at the first breeding it fake by aggressiveness failed now i m
going for second breeding anyway i will try it agin thank you so much
Water level too high and not using a bare bottom aquarium or tote or proper breeding environment. Also, after fry are free swimming do small water changes very often.
Great tips! Helps many of them. 👍
Bro my male betta is not taking Care of eggs and not keeping them to nest soo what might be the problem plZ suggest me a idea....plz
Hello Bro, Usually, it’s natural parental instinct for bettas. So automatically they do take care. Just like any other animal, the individual may or may not be good at something.
Also note, if male notice eggs are not good, they eat them or leave them sometimes. It’s also common betta behavior. So check, it’s not taking care of anything or only portion of it.
If parameters are prefect, water surface isn’t being disrupted too much, it most likely means he’s not good at making nests.
Hi how to feed betta fry for fast growth
For a faster & healthy growth, Feed your betta fry with infusoria several times a day for three to four days. After four days or so, the fry should be large enough to accept larger food. then, Offer your baby betta fish newly hatched brine shrimp. Feed the fry small amounts of brine shrimp several times a day to help them achieve maximum growth.
Micro worms & artemia also works for betta fry growth. Let me know, any further questions?
What does it mean when my female betta was the aggressive one and she keeps bitting the male even on the eye
It’s more of an alpha female. Retry with bigger and aggressive male or just keep the female out for little-stress and introduce to tank once male is well settled in tank. If the habit continues, she may not be right fit for breeding.
Hello, will Bettas mate if the female does not have eggs ready to spawn? Thank you in advance
No. Male might get aggressive, If female don’t have eggs. I would have it setting up mate in that case.
@@aquadiaryofficial Thank you 👍🏻
So is it the girls you take out of the tank after they have babys or the male I'm confused
Take out female as soon as all eggs lay. You may see male chasing against at this point. Make you need to move out after frys start free swimming. This playlist have all breeding insights you need for success. Good luck. th-cam.com/play/PLYwXgSCZLRS2mbQC87bWJUWj6o4rYM05_.html&si=Qpsc-pf4tRKVxxw4
I have been trying to breed my bettas, but the female seems to be afraid of the male and swims away. I don't know what to do. The male builds a huge bubble nest every time I try, so I don't know the problem
It's very common. Wait a few hours for them to settle. The female should be introduced to a glass separator and remove the separator once the male becomes less aggressive.
I am trying to breed my pair . I had followed all the tips. But still unsuccessful
Some pair don't get along, its common. try different combinations.
Is it ok to remove the male beta if the eggs hatch? Cause mine keeps eating the fry so i remove the male beta
Yes, Once all frys started swimming and no active bubble nest in your tank.. you don’t need male in tank.
My male beta has made his bubble nest I introduced the female she layed her eggs .., I was skeptical to remove the female beta in case I destroy the eggs
her … once the beta arranges it’s eggs the water gets very dirty can the eggs hatch in dirty water as I can’t change it for 36 hours
How water got dirty, Have you tried to feed? Use siphon vacuum and slowly remove the dirt.
Beta Fry's ko egg yolk kitne time feed karne ka
You can feed After 3 days from birth. But infusoria is best feed as first good.
I left my betta fish one day with the female in the glass but when released it they didn do anything it also had a bubble nest
Did male try flaring against female or chasing?
My male betta is just flaring all the time to the female betta. He once jumped out of the breeding tank fortunately I was able to get him back
Hey I woke up the next day and the eggs and nest were gone the female was removed already tho wat happened
Are there no eggs at all?
Can I keep a bubbler in the tank or do i need to turn it off? When do i know I should turn it off
Bubbler in breeding tank is not recommended. Keep the water condition good, have alteast over 2-5 gallons water, No feeding at breeding tank, this will take care of it.
@@aquadiaryofficial what about plants? Or can eggs get lost in the plants
Can we have plants? Live or fake?
