Amoi Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Is it just me or do the bettas seem to know when winter starts going? Even though my fighters are all heated, they have been some what lazy. Then in the last couple of days they have started getting very active and all the males have built bubble nests and the females are all flaring and have breeding stripes. Anyone else noticing that? Pitty im saving my spare tank for the CT pair im getting from someone this weekend otherwise I would be having great fun in deciding what pair to breed next!!! cheers Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 yep, i think you're right Amy. Of the 6 pairs I put in spawning tanks, 3 spawned and one male who didn't spawn yet died ( !!) and none of them ate their eggs. I think they know, for sure!

Mishy Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 i think you're right amy. my girls have no interest in the boys in the last 3 months but now.. i have a shortage of eligible bachelors (lost most at the start of winter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najoha Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 spring has sprung at my place!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amoi Posted August 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Im a bit the same with the boys myself... I only have one HM boy, about 3 plakat boys and about 10 females!!! I think I might have to start investing in some more hot males... Pitty im broke! Looks like im going out at lunch time to get some hobby containers to breed my fighters in. I have plenty of heaters but no real spare tank. My wilds are getting spoilt, they have a 2foot just for 4 tiny fish! But they are happy, they continously have their true colours showing which im happy about, might look at getting another pair. Cheers Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz40 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yeah...mine are looking more active too. All fins flared, nests being built, chasing by Batman and breeding by the black Plakat. All looks good. They are looking happier, eating better...keeping their tanks cleaner....LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yep. Mine have been breeding to (tho the ate his last 3 lot of eggs. :ggrrrrr: ) The females must know as mine have started to roe up, which I'm happy bout. Why is it that ppl tend to end up with more females than males? I've got the same prob. tho, with a murder (put a female in a tank with two others that have been fine with other females. Within 2 hrs she was dead on the bottom with both eyes pecked out ) and illness I've gotten the numbers down so they're almost even. YAY to spring and for summer :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
