WhOAAAAAAAA!!!!!

I agree, if you are 12, I believe it's safe to assume you live with your parents. Are they ready for a 10gal spawing tank, a 55 gal growout, and 150 jars? Plus, what are you going to do when school starts and you have baby bettas at home that need feeding? I'm sorry, I just don't think it's a good idea

I'm 17 right now, going away to college next year, and I'm getting a pair of female and male bettas, which will make my collection of 6 bettas. I plan ahead. I'm going to give one of my bettas to my mother, so as to downsize my responsibility. When I go to college, and have my own appartment, THEN it's time to breed the bettas.

i agree with GP, it does take a lot of planning efforts because when the baby bettas grow up, they'll need a big tank and then jarring, adn then changing the jar's water constantly..and then finding homes for them, that's assuming you can rasie them first, with their constant need for food (fed 2 or 3 times a day). Not saying you can't do it, but if you're already rushing in and threw in the male and feamle....that just shows us stuff about you. Not to mention waht aura said, ur story just isn't making sense to me, to this day, you still can't list the # of tanks you have, what kinda fish you have. You seem to tell us that you have a 100G tank, that your mom uses to put the oscars in sometimes? and then you have some kind of 60G? But then you never mentioned it again?

Haven't we been through this already last time you tried to breed the bettas and just casually threw in the male and female?

 

[Wisperian]

Thats why I took the male and female out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! augh! and why do the other tanks matter the 60g is empty and the 100g is not even mine...and I'm planning to just like breed kribs right now and no more betta breeding cuz I dun have to look after the krib fry so much

Ok, I'm 25 and I have my own apartment, work all day, don't have any other pets (wouldn't be fair since I'm at work more than I am at home) and I STILL don't have time to breed some fish... Not that I wouldn't want to, but there's so much responsibility that you have to endure and so much of your time that you would have to dedicate to the project (if you want to do it correctly). Oh to have the spare time, be a kid and have that ambitious drive!

One question though - if the 100 gallon tank isn't yours what are you going to do with it? Is it supposed to be used as a grow out tank? What if the person the tank belongs to wants it back?

I'm just confused by everything that you have posted in this thread Maybe I'm just not understsanding it correctly, but it doesn't seem like anyone else is able to grasp what you're saying either... I don't mean to sound rude if it comes out that way, but I'm just bewildered by pretty much everything you've said betta_lova...

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THE 100G IS IN MY HOUSE BUT IT ISNT MINE ITS MY MOM'S OK?? I DONT USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok sry bout the caps

Look here, I wasn't trying to lecture you. I was simply asking a question. Not once did I tell you that you were doing anything wrong. Just asking because you didn't signify what you were using it for, just that you had it. I was wondering if you were going to use it as a grow out tank, that's all.

If you have any problems with me, let's discuss it like adults (unless you can't handle that either). We need not scream like children for simply no reason. If you can show me where I treated you like a child I will be more than glad to retract what I have said, but let me know directly. Also, if you read my post, you would've seen that I was asking if I was understanding what you were saying.

I guess, in conclusion, if you want to be treated like an adult... ACT LIKE ONE. Otherwise, don't get bent out of shape for someone asking a question, it's not very becoming.

I'm the last person to tell another how to raise their fish or what to do with them for breeding since it's not my cup of tea. And if I recall correctly, I didn't do either.

Had to edit, I wanted to retract something that I really don't care about one way or another.

I just bought 2 bettas yesterday one male one female and the male's done his bublenest n waiting for the female to embrace! Lol!

and I'm planning to just like breed kribs right now and no more betta breeding cuz I dun have to look after the krib fry so much

So are you breeding bettas or not? If your not then what was the point of this post?

 

[Wisperian]

Well my head hurts after reading this thread.

I do think you've made the right decision though on not breeding Bettas (yet), it was clear you weren't ready for the commitment.
