Hello I have been trying to breed bettas for quite some time now i have one last question i have a female that has red markings on her Cheeks just showed up and here color is a amazing is this a size that shes ready to breed or are the Vertical bars on female bettas signs that they are ready to breed

Thank you

Sounds like she is, now will the male accept her. That is the next step. Put her in a guppy breeder for a day (or behind a divider) if the male likes her he will build his bubble nest. Shut off any filtration while he is doing this so you don't mess up the bubble nest and remove the divider. Then they will breed.
 
and make sure he doesnt kill the female while they are breeding have had that happen to me way to many times
 
Well the female will be ready if you notice a few things, she'll become restless, vertical bars and if you keep her in the tank with male in a hurricane globe she will "dance on her head at the bottom of the tank when she is ready to be let out you will also notice that she is really thick or even fat, looking like she swallowed a marble the red on her cheeks could just be beacause of the food that you feed her i know that if you feed alot of shrimp hte karotin in the dye of the shrimp will stain them a different colour, other than that if you have the chance to buy and underwater filter do so to keep the tank clean when the babies are a week old because te tank will develope fungus that will infect them. if you have anymore questions meassage me :D:D:D
