Help on breeding betta's

[Titania]

I would like to get the cheaper one but i dont have any money right now i had to buy this fancy calculator for math so im pretty much broke i really would like to get those halfmoons

Then start with a petstore female. Really, it's all up to you and what you'd like to accomplish. If all you want to do is breed once and be able to say "yup, I did that...now onto the next thing", then a petstore betta may be fine. If you're considering getting serious with it, then save up for a great pair that could be the founders for your own line.

Also a betta i bought from wal-mart its a bright red color and is very active and every now and then he tries to build a buble nest but the airerator ruins it. Would i be able to use him to breed also? Is this a bad idea? And again thank you very much in advance! Also the betta i boguht looks just like my avatar.

YOU BOUGHT ONE FROM WALMART!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry if that link doesn't work. Just go to liveaquaria.com then go to freshwater fish then go to bettas and you'll see the female bettas. They are like $2.50, the normal males are like $3.50.

That's not really any different than getting them from Petco. You still have no idea about the fish's background.

There aren't very many pairs on Aquabid at the moment. But, I'll post up a few males that I really like.

Thanks so much! Some of those fish are really beautiful. I think I'm going to buy a moderately priced pair and give it a try.
