Male Betta Fish Eggs

Our betta s officially bred and laid eggs.

Male betta fish eggs. This is one of the coolest things we ve ever seen and we are so happy we get to go through this process with you. Keep your fish like this for a few months so they get used to their new environment. Caring for betta fish eggs isn t that much work for the pet owner once you ve done the ground work.

You should never keep the female betta in the tank with the breeding male for more than an hour or so as the male is likely to fight with her whether. A female betta fish can lay eggs through its egg hole when fertilized. Some others may even lay up to 500 eggs at a time.

It is the male betta fish s job to swiftly capture the eggs in its mouth and place the eggs securely into the bubble nest. The female bettas are fertile as they can lay between 30 to 40 eggs at a spawn. When male betta are ready to nest the blow a bubble nest on the top of the water.

To make female betta fish broodstock have abundant eggs you only need two types of feed. You need to follow the necessary steps to condition your bettas for breeding and introduce them to each other when they re ready to spawn. Healthy female bettas will always be carrying some eggs and if a male is not present they will constantly reabsorb and recreate eggs.

But the portion and procedure for feeding must also be regulated. Once your fish are settled in start feeding them live food like brine shrimp and bloodworms so they re healthy for breeding. If you just have a male then there aren t any eggs in the nest.

Two male bettas shouldn t be kept together in a single tank. The male betta will guard its nest and will wait for or find a female to spawn with. Unlike the bubble nest building bettas the female guards the area which the male takes to brood.
