hey.. today i jus start to breed my betta.. i breed em in the 2ft tank with half of water inside.. then cut tyrofoam cup into half.. put em inside the tank..and one almond leave.. no pump.. is that ok ?

i notice the male not makin bubbles even he look at the female.. haih.. y ar? the male not interest? both of them are diff colour.. is this the cause?

Should be ok.... Let them adapt to the environment first la.... Can't expect them to hit it off in such alien environment ma....

Colour not the cause.... Environment is....

oh.. critical time for me.. third time to breed em.. hope this time everythin doing great.. i din put any plant aso.. the female seem ready.. but only the male.. i put the female inside the tank.. but is seperte with the male.. like putting her inside the cylinder then in the tank..
ai, hope tomolo the male built bubbles and i can start to let the female out heh.. emm.. after fry com out.. do i need to put air pump? to provide oxygen to the fry? las time i use to put.. but this time i choose not.. it is ok ar?

Usually, if you want fish to hit it off, separate fish first. Normally this builds up to a lonely fish that will appreciate some company after a while. Condition them for breeding by feeding well with good live foods, then put them together, they should start showing interest in each other fairly soon. This is how I get my pencilfish to get it on recently. In the main tank, the male just flair at the females but don't do anything bout it, but once in the breeding tank together, they spawned on the first night.

Yep... As soyadude said, feeding the pair live food will increase their mood for breeding.... A play on fish psychology... lot's of live food, means more food for the resulting fries....

Hmmm... I never put any air stone until they are at least 3 weeks old.... Too much water movement will cause the fries to become dizzy and die... Even when 3 weeks old, i only use very gentle aeration.... So DON'T PUT ANY AIR PUMP just yet....

oh... i left them in the breeding tank.. for a day. .then today i release them.. the female went to his nest.. but lately.. the make keep on chasing her, biting her lol.. so have to seperate them le.. seem like need to find another time.. the male aso not keen on building the nest.. this is the 1st time i breed long tail.. quite troublesome..

oh.. now they start to breed d.. all doin good.. thanks for the advice heh.. btwn, i plan to giv egg yolk to those fry.. cos i cant find any microworm or any live food in the shop.. when should i feed? after the fry swim horizontal? or few days?

hmmm... egg yolk i don't like to use... used only once.... but feed them once they swim horizontally... Remember to mash the yolk finely, add water so it become like liquid feed...

I live in Kajang, and I can sell you a starter culture for microworms. PM me and i'll give you details about picking it up.

waulau so fsat u making back your money
