My spawn

[BettasRFriends]

Well the previous 'spawn' was turning horrible. The water was getting bad for some reason, the male build/destroy the nest constantly, and the female was gettin kinda ripped up (fins). Today I empty the tank, cleaned it spotless, pour in fresh water (5 inch this time, not 8 like last), add indian almond leave, java fern, heater, sponge filter. The pair is being condition right now (probably for about 3 days) and hopefully the male will be used to the female prescence.

Sorry to hear about the last spawn. Hope this one turns out great for you! I've never bred bettas before but isn't it true that Black Water Ectract encourages spawning because it mimics the betta's natural water? Or maybe that's what the IALs are for.... Anyway, good luck.

Yup, Indian almond leaves create black water extract and there's also those tat come in tea bags which I've never used but IAL are dirt cheap at my lfs.
