Orange Plakats

Don't get sick of them yet, you guys. They're just now turning into good breeders . I'm going for it again, first up is the tank they'll be spawning in, the tank on the right is holding the last spawns fry, I hope they don't get traumatized by mom and dad doing it next door

Showing me his nest, he says "It's all ready,mom, bring on the lady!"

Harassing the girl, you can see how beautiful his finnage is (aside from the bite marks from past spawns)

Gotta luv the orange.....good luck with the breeding again.

 

[wuvmybetta]

Thanks you guys! We need the luck, my female just doesn't seem interested yet. She alway does this coy crappolla and then I catch her spilling her eggs and chomping them down when I put her back in her tank

so u use the shallow breeding method? how has it been working? im considering trying that this time around... what size are those tanks? i got a 3 gallon i might try shallow breeding in... but it has rocks in it ..

those are really cool fish.. i dont think ive ever seen an orange betta

@wuvmybetta
use some more tricks for those kinds of females
first of all, keep the light down in the breeding tank and prepare a place to hide for the female. second, darken the water with capatta leave juice and put a little bit of salt in the water (1 teaspoon / 10 litres will do!) - you`ll see, that helps. if not, ask for some more tricks

It works pretty well, I have to take the male out everytime because he's an egg eater, so I lower it even more, to about 2" or so. These are 5 gallon tanks, I tried them in a 10 and there was just too much room to hide. I had to downsize to get the deed done


cocker~ is capatta juice the indian almond leaf or something completely different?
