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 🙏
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. 👍
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.
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
I’m getting one in a week for Xmas and this was so helpful u are amazing 🤩
Awesome! Good luck. 👍
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. 👍

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
Thank you for posting this as I was about to breed my Bettas
Glad I could help!
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! It’s great encouragement. Hope it takes to many people. 👍🙏
I just fed a pair a few days ago and I’m anxiously awaiting the fry.
Good luck! ❤️❤️🫡🫡
I have a good looking samurai betta I’m looking into breeding him in the future for family gifts good video!
Good luck! ❤️❤️❤️🫡
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.
I am planning on breeding soon when I get more room in my fish tank or if I buy another so this vid helps!
Glad It’s helpful. Good luck with betta breeding. 🙂👍
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
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 ??
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
Hi, whre is the link @@aquadiaryofficial
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.
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 ❤️️❤️️
Always hoping to have a betta fish from you guys
Sure, thanks for your support!
What could be good alternatives to almond leaves? Are maple leaves ok?
Yes, maple leaf, dried banana leafs or driftwood can do the same.
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.
Do you turn off aerators and filters during the process?
Yes, usually my breeding setups will not even have filters or bubblers installed
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.
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. 👍🙏
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.
Thank it’s help full
Appreciate your comment. It’s encouraging! Glad it’s helpful. Good luck with your breeding. 😀👍
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.
Help full bro
Thanks bro!!
Nice explain bro

how sir how to breed
That’s fine. Give a try. Good luck!
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.
Betta breeding tank blue cure othulama bro please reply
No bro. You don’t need that. It’s primarily for fungal infections
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 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!
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. 👍
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. 👍
Thank you for sharing your videos ☺️
My pleasure! Glad you like it.
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 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?
I also have a question, how much times will they lock and the female will drop eggs before she's done???
Especially if we're not monitoring them to give privacy?
It depends on the eggs.. they keep trying till all eggs get released. It can be upto 300 eggs
@@aquadiaryofficial do sell bettas?
Is egg yolk a good option to feed betta fry? In the past, this has worked well for me in breeding guppies. Does it also apply to betta fry?
Yes, it is. It works. I just have video about it include steps and pro & cons. Link here. th-cam.com/video/LTTAuemuLGY/w-d-xo.html
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👍👍
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
@AquaDairy my male is biting female after introducing also
It’s common. Give them few hours, but make sure tank is big enough for female to run
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. 😂😂
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.
what tank should i get for my bettas to breed?
Atleast 5 gallons or small circular plastic tub works.
Heyyyy.
Damian from trini.
Will they breed in a ten gallon aqurium???
Yes for sure!
Great video
Glad you like it👍
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.
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
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❤️
Wow great boss
👍👍
Can I use table slat
Yes, but should not have iodine or processed salts like pink/black salts.
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! 🙌
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
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. 👍
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?
Should we remove the male betta after the hatching of eggs
Yes, once every fry start freely swimming
After how many days is the female ready again to breed ?
Usually females are good to breed again after 2 weeks. But it’s based on females health and age. I have do within 3-4 weeks period.
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?
tips for food to buy for the fry
Below playlist talks more about fry care including preparing homemade foods for fry. Hope you find it helpful. th-cam.com/play/PLYwXgSCZLRS2mbQC87bWJUWj6o4rYM05_.html
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
Mines ate before and after egg laying
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.
How do you know the Age of better fish😊
We have full video with detail steps to identify age of the betta fish. Hope you find it helpful.
th-cam.com/video/AD4-l7ikdIo/w-d-xo.html
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
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🙏
Can we put rockes
It’s better to avoid as it’s hard for male to fallen fry if they go between them.
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.
How many times can we breed female Bettas to obtain more male Betta frys.
In general, I try them from the age of 4 months to 14 months of their age. Number of times primarily based on their recovery and egg getting ready.
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.
No, eggs will not hatch in 4 days, as you say. 36 - 48 hours is the correct number.
Sir paano po malalaman pag Matanda na po and Betta Fish??
Age of the betta fish can be identified by various signs. Below video in the channel helps.
th-cam.com/video/AD4-l7ikdIo/w-d-xo.html
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.
🙏
Y. My female betta is attacking male?
Even my female betta is plugging males fins.?
Some females are like that bro. Specially if they tasted betta fish fins, they will keep going against it. I would wait for a day and remove it.
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.

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.
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
I made the mistake of putting the female (seperated) and male into the breeding tank at the same time. Then when I released her after 2 days, she dropped her eggs without mating within 2hrs. How long do I need to wait until she can breed again?
Feed her healthy diet. She will ready in 3 weeks.
Betta males cant stay together so what do you do when the fry grow up? What do you do with the extra fry😢 pls do help with this question

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
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?
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.
Should I give foods to betta fish during breeding time ???
No need
Hello Everyone, after the courtship of my bettas. Now the bettas are together, but male bit some small fins of female betta. Is it normal?
It's been just 5 hrs after the courtship
They are both ready
Yes, male bitting some fins of female betta is normal. Usually some females take time, so little bit of bitting can occur.
Are you seeing male formed the bubble nest? Are you seeing male settle down on attacking, then You can continue keep them for a day
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.
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
My female betta fish is having that white spot but she is not having eggs in her as she is having flat belly pls reply
Takes time. Treat whitespot, feed her good food, she will be back. Check our channel playlist for steps to treat whitespot disease
My betta fish not breeding also not making any bubbles nest it already 3 4 days do you know why
Don’t introduce the female unless male built bubblenest. Just keep the female tank next to male for few hours and move out. Introduce them in same tank once bubblenest is ready. If still no nest, try that after a week. I hope male you already checked that male is healthy to build bubblenest.
My betta female fish act like dying any reason behind doing like that😢
