When can I realease my betta female fish into the males tank?

Currently I have a small tank with the female fighting fish in it, inside a bigger tank that has the male fighting fish. This is only very recent – and it is so the male and female fish can get used to eachother before I let the female fish out, so that they can breed. I’ve heard I should keep them this way for two weeks, then let her out, but I’ve also heard I need to wait for the male to make a bubble nest and for the female to have eggs before I can let her out. So I am a little confused. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why is it that so many people who know nothing about Betta breeding insist on trying to?
If you don’t know what you are doing, then don’t do it. If Bettas aren’t properly conditioned they will very likely try to kill each other.
If you did manage to get a successful spawning, what will you do with all the fry? Fish stores won’t take them, they have contracts with their own suppliers. All the males (possibly dozens) must be housed in separate tanks. Do you have the space and money for dozens of separate tanks? Then what? Do you want to spend the next 5 years or so taking care of all of them till they die of old age?
Just enjoy your fish, and leave breeding to the professionals.

Female Crowntail Betta Fish

Bettas seem to display a multiplicity of breeding strategies so none of the many variations are more natural than another. Some may be more common or more sucessful than others in an aquarium setting. Bettas are not predictable.

In the wild the male betta has to keep the fry up in the bubbles until their ability to breath air has developed. That is because the waters they live in are stagnant and lack oxygen. In the aquarium the male’s function is optional after the spawning is over.

With two nests it appears he is ready to spawn again, or he simply confuses the two locations and has a poor sense of direction. Even the same fish may display a different breeding strategy the next time. You can move him now any time you need him for spawning or because you are not comfortable with him in there. Soon you will have to move him anyway.

Neon tetras need 20+ gallons and are VERY sensitive to water quality they would die within a few days in a bowl with no filter. Turtles definitely not, they get big and need BIG tanks, a betta would need a 5+ gallon tank with a filter and heater, and a goldfish is the worst possible fish you could get out of all the fish you have mentioned as they need anywhere from a 20+-75+ gallon tank and need double filteration because of how messy they are. Honestly nothing is sutiable for a fishbowl even shrimp and snails should be in a 2.5+ gallon tank. If you want to get fish get a bigger tank, read up on how to cycle it, then choose the appropriate fish sutiable for your tank.

Is the ick treatment safe for my fish?

I have 1 male betta, 6 neon tetra’s, and I just bought (with the ick treatment) 3 golden tetra’s. 10 gallon tank. The ick treatment is called “wardley essential’s ick away”. My tetra must have ick, I see little white spots all over his body. And his behavior is different than the others. It says on the label that tetra’s can be sensitive to ick treatment. Will this be safe for them? I still have the gold tetra’s floating in the tank, should I let them out of the bag and treat them too? And I’ve just treated the water with water conditioner, do I have to wait to treat it with ick treatment now?

Yes, Tetras are sensitive to medications, and yes you can treat it with Ick Away. Use a half dose, and they will be fine… the Ich, however, won’t. I wouldn’t recommend using salt, as Tetras are just as sensitive to the necessary levels of salt as they are to medications. I’d do a 30% water change now, remove the activated carbon from your filter (it will suck the medication right out), and then begin treating with the Ick Away.

I got my betta 2 nights ago! Your doing great. Also don’t feed him freeze dried worms yet, because once he eats those, he won’t want the pellets any more, so feed him pellets for a long time, “raise him” on the pellets, then you can give the worms as a treat.
Does your tank have a filter? If so, buy a small gravel vacuum and remove half of the water every week, that’s what I’m going to do because my mom would kill me if the tank went dirty! Just clean everything once a week and your tank will be okay, but clean thoroughly.
You have a good feeding routine, just make sure he eats it all, and maybe cut it down to 4 or 5 pellets.
Also, for now what you have is good, and a lot of people are going to tell you that you need a five gallon tank filtered and heated. But that can wait for a few months. Get it when you are ready.

Good Luck and happy Betta- ing
