[Patrick333]

i went and checked my betta and the eggs where fertile they hatched

 

[duendecillo]

how did you get them to spawn?
I've read so many different ways...

Finally you were waiting forever. I am in that boat of waiting forever. What method worked for you, what did you do?

 

[Bettaman]

Wate till its going to rain mine cant stop, have had two spawns this month and just checked another pair and they are both under the nest having a practice at it so eggs in the next hour..............congratulations on the hatching now the hard part starts keeping them alive and growing

I have a 10g with one male, and two females. Is there a chance they will spawn some day?
(they don't fight by the way)

Congratulations Patrick!!!!!!! It's so exciting, isn't it? I just had my first successful spawn hatch last Wed. So mine are now 6 days old and doing wonderfully

How is the Daddy doing? Do you still have him in with the wigglers? If so he should be making sure they all stay in the nest, although mine would tend to knock out as many as he just returned, Lol...he stayed very busy until they started to become free swimming when I took him out.

i had them together in a container thats about 3.3 us gallons. its about 6 inches deep. i had some plants and a styroafoam cup. they were together for about 2.5 weeks. they were with together in the tank for 3 days till eggs. I took her out and to my surprise there was zero nips in either of them. i fed them frozen bloodworms frozen brineshrimp and live blackworms. It was set at about 80-82 degrees.

Sorry Patrick, I edited on ya, as you were posting I guess.

I realized they were just born yesterday after I originally asked about them free swimming )
