Okay, excuse my ignorance, but this is my first time having a female betta. I noticed she was rather "bloated" last night, and I just passed it off as her eating too much. She's a pig. However, this morning, I notice little white specks in the bottom of her tank.
Are they eggs? There's no way they can "hatch" right? - she's never been with a male as far as I know (or is she hiding something from me!? :eek: )
She's still rather bloated - does this mean there's more eggs coming!?
yup!!... theyīre eggs!! :D ........ and no none will "hatch" they need a male to fertilize them and they need to be in a bubblenest..... so donīt worry...
the females Iīve had also always seemed "bloated"... and I *think* it means they are ready and thatīs why they produce eggs.... sometimes too many they just "pop" out .....
I donīt have much experiece either but I can tell you that they are in fact eggs and that they will not hatch.... that I know ;)
Yup, definitely eggs! You have a healthy, eggy girl Kay! I wouldn't be too worried if she kept laying eggs.
Don't worry -- there's no way they'll hatch. They need to be fertilized and placed in a bubble nest. :)
That's interesting, none of my females ever layed eggs.
Usually eggs are absorbed into the body and not released unless the female is mated with but very rarely they do release the eggs with no male present. She is a beautiful yellow girl!
