Reproduction is a part of the natural lifecycle. Breeding is a complex process. Before the breeding there are some things you must consider such as both male and female betta have a healthy. Give them a proper environment and diet for healthy fry. These fish are paternal mouthbrooders, which means male betta is responsible for the whole breeding process.
Setting up the breeding tanks which is a large and plenty of space to move around. Maintain a water temperature. For crowntail betta prefers a slightly higher water temperature of around 80F which encourages good breeding.
Choose a healthy bettas, both males and females are healthy and maintained properly. By nature bettas are aggressive, when you put them together use a divider to divide both of them. When they are comfortable with each other remove a divider and encourage breeding. In a pre-preparation, before breeding provide nutrition-rich food to bettas to promote healthy fry.
Male betta court the female betta. Males build a bubble nest to impress females and collect the eggs. When a female is ready to breed she allows the male to wrap his body around her, which causes the release of the eggs. Males collect the eggs and are responsible for fertilizing them.
He collects falling eggs and puts them safely in a bubble nest. Because this is time time-consuming process, so betta needs a rest as well as the chance of attacking by the other betta.
After 24-48 hours eggs will hatch and ting fry are born, initially, they get proper nutrition from the yolk sacs. After three days, they start swimming individually and prefer to eat food like infusoria.
the evolution period is 10-17 days at the end of release the fully developed fry to swim. After releasing fry can take a food of its own; the fry is big enough (5mm+) to accept food such as microworms and Artemia nauplii. (Artememia is commonly known as brine shrimp; a genus of phyllopod crustaceans inhabiting salt lakes and brines. Newly born fry eat egg yolks. which is commonly served in young betta and considered as his first food). The owner has to serve Artemia immediately to Young Betta.
You can offer small portions of food twice a day, and offer them nutrition-rich food so they can grow properly. Do not overfeed them, overfeeding causes constipation and bloating. A
betta pallfina is a big-mouthed fish whether it’s fry or young adult. When you serve food to the young fry do not overfeed them. Young fry are also maintained in the tank they require a small tank. To prevent organic waste from accumulating Small (5 – 10% of tank volume) daily water changes are required.
