Congratulations on breeding success with the fishes. Just a tip with the bettas. 1. Use a piece of styrofoam sheet to insulate the floor then put the bowls on it. As it's on the floor it will have a lower temperatures and fluctuations and betta needs warmer temperature especially delicate fry. 2. Use a piece of tape to stick the bubble wrap to a corner so it doesn't move around. 3. You need to remove the males only when the fry are full horizontal and free swimming. Not when they are hatched. 4. Betta fry do well on live foods won't work with first bites as with tetras or angels etc. If you have vinegar eels with 1 daily feeding, they can survive on that until you can feed live bbs. 5. First time betta breeders can take from 2 to 5 days before getting eggs. So with the black dragon you removed the female too early. Also introduce the females from confinement in evening about 1 hour before lights are off. Less stress on females and they usually breed next morning. If the breeding fail with no eggs on 4 day i separate and reconditioning. As for the angels I've noticed that once they select a spawn site they seldom change to different area. Hang a piece of pvc sheet over the area where they spawn after the eggs are hatched. Hopefully they will use it so you can easily remove eggs. Best of luck with new fry.

@@honeynutmc1862 Thanks for sharing your experiences. As you've mentioned you loose about 85% of spawn and growth is shunted using first bites.. I try to give the fry best chances of survival & growth so it's not a method i would do or recommend. However not many hobbyist can keep or maintain a large number of fry so if that works best for you.... That's your method and Congrats to you... If you have no access to brineshrimp eggs. You should try culturing infusoria and microworms or vinegar eels cultures... I've found using a combination of these as first foods helps with fry survival as bettas have a high prey drive and will feed on it as it wriggles and moves avoiding starvation. Once they reach the 2 week age from hatching then you can introduce first bites as they will accept it more readily.... Also if you have access to moina and mosquito larva you can feed moina as substitute for brineshrimp from free swimming stage. Mosquito larva should be fed according to size of fry as they can easily choke on it. I start feeding mosquito larva around 1 month when i transition to solid foods.....Hopefully this can help you. Best of luck

I came across this and wondered if you have any advice about betta fry. When to start changing the water and when you add the air filter.

i've talked to betta breeders about breeding bettas in small containers and their theory is that "it's better because the male doesn't have to chase the female around in a big tank" and this is the exact same method they use. your black samurai male looks amazing btw

I’ve always liked the short finned bettas, they don’t get enough hype IMO, but you did them justice. thx

I’ve never understood the appeal for the long fin ones. The short finned ones just look so sleek and cunning compared to the messy looking long fins.

Hey!! for breed scalar don't use the same water for all groups of fries, remember this!!💪🏼🤜🏼

Surely gonna try that tub method soon. Thanks mate!

Very cool! Time to stock up on jars lol!

I just bred my first beta in early January, did it in a 2-gallon aquarium. Very similar to the process you used. Six weeks later I ended up for 40 fry that have survived.

Love is in the water! The Angels had a vibe from the Bettas.💓🥰 I recently placed all my ricefish together since I felt bad having 4 Youkihi's in a 5 gallon by themselves when I had 5 Pearl Galaxies inside a 1+ gallon jar... I've had eggs but didn't do anything from preventing them from eating them, this time I know to pull the eggs and place them inside the 1+ gallon jar. Can't tell the difference between the 2 either then the Pearl Galaxies have more shiney speckles on its side then the Youkihi's do. Maybe I'll get some Shiney Youkihi's 😅 I also am setting up a 5g tank to house a female and a male, need a tank separator first. Thinking of breeding them in a bin as I see alot of videos show.

Have you got a plan to sell all these betta's? I want to get into bettas but they seem like they are hard to sell fry as the demand for large numbers isn't very high?

what do you feed the fry? i use walter, banana and microworms, bbs and just got some vinegar eels. - apart from the normal fry food. and don't you put snails in with the male to keep the tub clean?

I admire u a lot and hope to have a fish room similar to this one day. I have been trying to breed betta fish for what feels like forever with hardly any success. My pairs hardly ever work out & I have 12 betta fish. I can only mix and match so much. On a plus side 3 of the bettas are ones I've kept from a spawn. I condition for a few days, tried tub set ups, tank set ups, bucket set ups, and follow multiple youtubers and mine just don't mate. Or if they do its unfortunately not fertile. Any advice would be so helpful. (Anyone in the comments have advice, that would be helpful as well) honestly just wanna absorb as much info as possible and take time, be patient and see what happens. Atm I'm trying to keep the marble genetics and pass it down without much luck.

Do you have different ph in each aquarium or all the same?

How do you the difference between female and male with the angel fish?

If the fish got blind later somehow, I think it's ok. But if it was blind from the beginning (or unknown how long), I would'n breed it. But I also don't think it's ok to use these sterile tanks / tubs. To be strong, they need enviroment. And also I my fish always breed in decorated aquarium, I rarely have dead spawn. So I think natural breeding is much better than artificial for the breeding capabilities of the offspring.

I don't understand why you would breed a blind animal
