Hello,
my male betta, who lives alone, keeps building bubble nests. This one is the biggest one he has ever built. I'm guessing that because he is enjoying the tank and is mature? Is this normal, I know they mostly build nests when they are ready to breed.
I'm not sure whether I want to breed bettas. My LFS wouldn't take many of them at the time, and it would take a lot of effort to separate the males. Also I know that labyrinth fish a long time to grow. I had my blue gourami's spawn and I took about 10 months before they were ready to sell. I fed them 3-4 times a day (brine shrimp (live and frozen), frozen food and dry food) and did water changes 2-3 times a week (70%).
Would this be similar to breeding bettas?
