Bettas spawned today!

[gomezladdams]

My red halfmoon male spawned with the copper black female today
so awesome I was watching them for a while then had to go out,they were still going at it when I got home maybe 4 hours total
cant wait to see what the fry look like,looks like the male is doing ok it it his first spawn so I hope he manages.Cool I havent tried to spawn bettas in 20 years.
The other red halfmoon male gotwned: by the metallic red female he caught a wicked beating Ill give him a few weeks then try again.
I got african cichlid fry coming out my ears but this has me really stoked!

nice whats ur setup for them??

Damn he lost the batch,oh well its his first better luck next time.
hes in a 20l with a half styro cup on one end,sponge filter with bare trickle of bubbles on the other.lots of java moss and hornwort in there too,no substate and the tank only half full.
My wife said while I was at work a pond snail got into the nesting cup and was wrecking the bubbles,dont know it thats what really did in the spawn but ill make sure I kill all the snails in both betta tanks before I try again next month.

i was going to start breeding my betta but the female jumped out and die

During my waterchanges yesterday I smashed or took out every snail I could find in both betta tanks put a big brig snail in each tank to clean up any possible pond snail food.Ill keep doing that till the next breeding attempt in early october

How hard is it to breed these guys?I was told that when they breed they try and kill each other right after so I havent even tried...
