Betta Father Watching Over Betta Fry as They Hatch

This Betta fish father takes his paternal role seriously as he cares for his Betta babies when they hatch.

Like a devoted nanny 'he' gingerly picks up a tiny, white fry and carefully places Nemo
back into the nest after the Betta newborn fry falls away just after hatching.

The Betta babies are newly hatched but amazingly they have no trouble swimming back into their nest.

If you observe the nest carefully. you can see some Betta tiny tails peeping out of the eggs.

Betta Breeding: Step One

Beginner's Betta Breeding Tips:

Watch the actual "Embrace" where the male holds the female and squeezes the eggs out of the female.

In the video you can see one of the eggs, where the male picks it up and spits it into the bubble nest.

To see this step a little more watch the sequence to this video.

If your male and female bettas start roughing each other up a little note that it is completely normal! Just ensure that this is not the only activity they are engaging in. (This is a "Delta Tailed" subspecies.)

Betta Breeding: A Spawning Pair

This video shows you how to introduce a male and a female for mating.

TIPS:

Select a male and female that is similar in size, with the male slightly larger than the female to prevent too much imbalance in size that may hinder courtship and worse, result in serious injury as courtship can be a turbulent affair!

Introduce both genders together to prevent territorialism from getting established by any of the pair. Place their separate containers into the mating tank, for 15 minutes so the pair can adjust to the water temperature in the mating tank. (You may leave the female inside her jar in the mating tank until the male has finished building his bubble nest, but some owners prefer to release them at the same time.) Then gently tip the male out into the mating tank followed by the female.

Monitor closely while the pair gets acclimatised to the tank to ensure they are compatible. While there may be some 'rough play' during courtship (chasing, nipping and shredding), you need to remove both the fishes if this becomes excessive and violent.

What you need to watch for is the male waving his body ... trying to impress the female with his 'sexiness'. This is a positive sign that courtship rather than hositle fighting, will ensue.

If after three days there is no sign of mating remove them from the tank and try again later or use another pair.
