Is the female alot bigger than the male you are currently breeding her with? I had success breeding my male with a female that's slightly bigger than him. Even the size difference didn't stop him from ripping her fins quite bad!

not alot bigger,around the same size only the female a tiny bit smaller.i released the female just now to try them out,the female was chased by the male around the tank,everytime she hid in the java moss,he found her and chased her again,is this a bad sign or is it just normal behaviour on the male's part?

Spawning took place about 24 hours later. Just leave them alone for about that period of time. If spawning doesn't take place by then, separate them, re-condition on live food for a week, let the male flare to the female daily, and then try again. |

edit: ive placed the female back in the 'conditioning' tank again,cause the male was pulverising her,now she's back to normal,her fiesty fierce self.flaring back at the male. maybe when i see the sign of eggs then i'll release her again.

Male bettas are very simple-minded. Here's how they work. When encountering another betta... 1) If male, goto (3). If female, goto (2). 2) Is female ready for breeding? If yes, goto (4). If no, goto (3) 3) KILL 4) BREED Be more patient la, if it's only finnage damage, the female will recover quite fast, so you can leave her in there for a while longer. Is the male building the bubblenest? |

yes,the male is building the bubble nest under the styro cup,both flaring at each other,the bubbles in nest are getting bigger. but i think i made a funny pair. a lavender bf hmpk + a marble fancy with a monkey face+ looks like she has a delta tail cause its exceptionally long. i wonder what will be the outcome |
