Re: breeding bettas
I've read other accounts of this from fish breeders across the country. One zebra pleco breeder up in NY state has documented consistent spawns accompanying a low pressure fronts. His theory is that a low is usually accompanied by rain, which swells watersheds and washes food and nutrients into them. A few days to weeks later there is a bloom of planktonic critters and algaes for newly hatched fry to feed on.Originally posted by PhishPhreek";p="With the low pressure cell moving in, now is the time to set up your betta spawn tanks.
For some reason, storm fronts seam to trigger a breeding responce in bettas. Survival instint ??
Lets make some lemonade from this lemon.
His success with zebs, bns and farlowella cats is unreal.

Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places?

Re: breeding bettas
The Mother Nature gives and IKE takes away
IKE with the loss of power (air to my sponge filters) and my forced absence caused me to loose most of my A01 spawn and all of my B02 spawn
but Mother Nature has been kind to me on this rainy day.

Re: breeding bettas
Good news, as I was tearing down the B02 spawn tank (orange & black double tail) I found 4 fry (3/8") still alive.

Re: breeding bettas
Cool! :)
I started carding my betta imbellis pairs yesterday, and lastnight I went to check on them and one of the males wasn't in his jar. So, I looked around to see if I could find him then I looked over and saw him on the floor. He fell 3 feet to the ground and flaped on the ground another 3 feet. I put him in a 1 gallon tank with some stress coat, and today he is doing better.Fish are people too, they just have gills.Comment

Re: breeding bettas
The closer they are to wild stock, the higher they jump.
Most jump when threatened or stressed.
Turning the light on in a dark room has been a major cause.
Give them a night light (full moon)
most craft stores sell a plastic mesh for sewing type craft projects and it can be cut with sisors to fit your container.
It also makes it easier to do water changes, just hold the cover on and upend it over the sink and pour the water out
the mesh keeps the betta safe and then you can add new water without having to net them.
