Emergency betta female spawn eggs without bubbles

[Aniket]

I put male and female with divider in common water and female and male out of reach but female laid eggs and eggs are floating on top. I remove divider but male is only showing his body to female. What can i do?

 

[Colin_T]

Nothing.

Just keep them well fed and the female will develop more eggs over the next week. Then they should be able to breed properly.

She showing egg spot now. Can i put them together now?

 

[Aniket]

My male ate many eggs so i seperate them and remaining 10 eggs kept as it is in pot by reducing water level. Will fry born without male femal now?

If the female laid eggs without the male fertilising them, they will not hatch. Don't bother keeping the 10 eggs, just let the female develop more over the next week and let them breed when they are ready. The male and female can be kept together during this time unless they fight. If they fight, then separate them.

Im sorry but you should not be breeding fish without knowing the basics like the fact that unfertilized eggs wont hatch.

You need to sit down and do a lot of reading on breeding Bettas.

When the male and female are ready to breed, the male will swim next to the female and display to her (flare his fins out). After a few minutes of this, the male will push his side against the female's side and they will stop for a moment and expel eggs & sperm. The male then picks up each egg and coats it in a mucous bubble and puts it in the bubble nest. When he has picked up all the eggs that were laid then, he will swim back over to the female and show off again and put his side on her side and they will expel more eggs and sperm. He picks up those eggs and puts them in the nest. They do this until the female has expelled all of her eggs. Then the male will chase the female away and look after the eggs in his bubble nest.

If the male is nice and the tank has lots of plants in, the female can sometimes be left in there. However, most males will chase the female away and if the tank is too small, the male might kill the female. So it is best to carefully remove the female after they have bred.

Once the female is out of the tank, the male guards the eggs and looks after the babies during the first few weeks of their life. Then the male can be removed and the babies can be grown up.

You need to keep a cover on the tank with the babies so the air above the water remains warm. If the baby fish take in cold air it can cause problems. Having a coverglass on the tank will keep the air warm and the babies won't be exposed to cold air.

Baby fish should be fed on infusoria and green water for the first few weeks of life and then fed newly hatched brineshrimp. There is information about culturing live foods like infusoria and green water at the following link. It is a good idea to start live food cultures well before you breed the fish so you have food available when the babies hatch.

Yes i made infusoria but not baby not availbale . How long infusoria can live?

You can keep infusoria cultures alive for months by feeding them a few crushed up lettuce leaves each day.

Actually NO.

Here's how male squeezes the eggs out of a female.

That video shows a nice view of the female's white egg laying tube (ovipositor), the little white dot under her belly.

This post is helpful from all your posts on my question.
Thank you

I read somewhere two opposite statements about betta feeding. Some says they eat only that much they needed and other says bettas can be overfed. What is right?
