I bought both my male and female beta from WalMart, even though I know they're bad, very bad about the care of their fish. But they both looked healthy. I've had them for about 3 months now. They've mated, and unfortunetly, I didn't know what the bubbles were until too late, didn't take her out, and lost the fry. They're at it again though, lol. She's got stripes and they're flirting. I think maybe it'll be tonight by the looks of things. (Except there are no bubbles, can they mate and not have bubbles?)
