| COMMENTS | |
| Male Betta Splendens should not be housed in a tank with other males because they will fight and may kill each other. Although females can be housed together. Nor should they be kept in a tank with fin nippers. Females are also colourful like the males. but they don't have the long beautiful fins as seen in the males. Betta Splendens prefer a tank with gentle filtration and a steady temperture. | |
| BREEDING | |
| Male Betta Splendens are bubble nest builders that use plants to help bind together the bubbles. The male and female will spawn once the nest in build. Betta Splendens egg's float, the male will collect the egg and spit them into the nest. The female should be then removed because it doesn't take any futher part in looking after the egg's and the male will attack the female. The male will tend the nest until the fry hatch from the egg's. | |
