spawning question

[cutecotton]

hi, just a quickie question becuase i'm having trouble telling if my bettas are just about to spawn or fi i'm just being hopeful about it

it's been about 24 hours, i have put a lot of bubbles under the cup (since the male wasnt' building it), there's a lovely ubbblenest build, the female has been released and she look spretty plump. Male is just chasing her around, but i notice that when he flares at her she doesnt' usually run way, just goes in a heads down position. I believe that is a sign of submission towards the male right? anyways, he'll usually then chase her away some more.

so, tell me what you think

thats normal but it just means the female's ready and willing to spawn and the male wants to wait a lil wee bit longer! =)

yes she is submitting and the male will start to wag his body at her when he is ready for the embrace , sounds like she is ready. He is probably nor sure the nest is built or whatever since you said he didnt build it LOL....anyways good luck.

that's good, i released her about...5 hours ago? she's not hurt in any way, the male is just flaring and chasing at her. And since he was too lazy to build a nest i did it for him

So far she won't run away unless he tries to nip her, then sh'ell get her litlte but outta there faster than the speed of light

[cutecotton]

i'm breeding a blue/red ct wtih a blue/red ct

as for the spawn...I NEED PATIENCE! *paints the word patience on her forehead* the fmeale is just checking out the nest from time to time, the male is chasing her away..but not wroking on the nest he figures that he can just get away with pretending to look busy becuase the nest is already built for him

lol i dont' even have eggs yet! but IF i do manage to raise these fry to adults (i'll have two batches IF this spawn works, lets not jinx it ) i'll probably be selling them for very cheap on TFF (becuase i love everyone here...nah just kdiding just cuz i learend a lot here), so if anyone's really intersted in the fry...kkkkkk

bah! lets not talk about this yet lol i only got about 50 newborns, 7 six weeks old babies and a pair that wont' even give me eggs!
