Do you know what the purpose of placing female betta fish in a transparent container is when
you breed betta fish?
Is it mandatory to place a female betta fish in this transparent container?
And does this act guarantee the betta fish to mate?
Or can you breed betta fish without placing the female betta in a transparent container?
Hello betta fish lovers, on this occasion I want to show you all how to breed betta
fish without having to place female betta fish in a transparent container.
But first, let's answer some of the questions I asked earlier, because these questions are
commonly asked by beginners.
What is the purpose of placing a female betta in a transparent container when you are breeding
betta fish?
It means:
1. Knowing the readiness of male betta fish
After a few hours of placing the female betta in a transparent container, the male will
build a bubble nest.
That means the male betta fish are ready to mate and we should release the female betta
fish.
if it takes up to one day or even 2 days the male betta fish does not build a bubble nest,
that means the male betta fish is not yet willing to mate and we should not release
the female betta fish.
2. Avoid Damage During Courtship or Mating
As we all know, betta fish are fighting fish. When we put 2 betta fish together, they will
definitely fight, even if it's a betta fish and a female.
Now when we place a female betta fish in a transparent container, there is no direct
fight.
What we have is that we will know the readiness of the male betta fish to mate as I said earlier.
Basically, even if we place female betta fish in a transparent container, the fins or tails
of female and male betta fish will be damaged after mating.
It's just that because the male betta fish are ready to mate, the damage that occurs
after mating is not as severe without placing the female betta fish in a transparent container
first.
Now we can breed betta fish and avoid damage too without placing the female betta fish
in a transparent container first.
How to?
The first step
We have to choose a male betta fish that is really ready to mate.
How do we know what the characteristics of betta fish are ready to mate?
Namely just by looking at the bubble nest that he made.
The bubble nest made by the male betta fish has 2 meanings.
The first meaning is a marker of territory or an expression that the male betta fish
is comfortable with its habitat.
Usually the male betta fish will make a bubble nest some time after the water is replaced.
The second meaning is a sign he is lust or ready to breed.
Usually for bubble nests made by male betta fish even though the water has not been replaced
for a long time.
Then choose a male betta fish that makes a bubble nest whose water has not been replaced
for a long time to breed.
Second Step
To breed betta fish without placing female betta fish in a transparent container first,
we must choose female betta fish that are really ready to mate.
The trick, we see the belly of the female betta fish which is large because there are
many eggs, then don't feed it a day.
Third step
After we prepare the spawning container, first enter the male betta fish, usually he will
look surprised by the new container and water.
For that, do not immediately enter the female betta fish, let the male betta fish around
the container area until he looks used to it, then enter the female betta fish.
After the male and female are put together, then feed and cover all sides so as not to
be disturbed.
After a day they are together, usually the male will make a bubble nest and mate.
That's how to breed betta fish without placing the female betta fish in a transparent container
first.
By selecting the right male and female betta fish, it will avoid damage during courtship
or mating.
