Maui + Kula Spawn!

*snug* thanks for all the nice comments!! Anna, one Betta spawn can produce anywhere from 50-500 eggs. They're usually in the 100-200 range, which I believe mine is.

I was told if both are making nests that means they are ready to mate and you can put them together. Is that correct?

hehe. Sorry hon, girls don't make nests ^_~... the female does not take care of the eggs at all ~ you add the female into the spawn tank (preferably into a breeding trap, so you can allow them to check each other out safely at first) when the male has started a nice bubblenest and when the female is showing "breeding bars" and her belly is swollen with eggs. I'd go into more detail, but Betta spawning is suuuper involved. Here's a good link! You should e-mail it to your Sis too, it has a lot of good info about when, how, and what you need to spawn, its a VERY tough project... I just spent 3 grueling hours syphoning out the bottom of my spawn tank (the hardest part is making sure you don't syphon up fry, and when you do you have to pick them out of the bucket while trying not to pick out any of the junk you just syphoned!!! ughhh, its annoying. LOL), slowly adding in 1 gallon of aged water, then feeding some microworms to the little piggies

Wow no kidding! Now, does that mean your going to have that many bettas? Do you know if they will be male/female? Sorry but I have no idea about how that works

Thanks for the info. We were young and didn't have the internet back then. I don't think she's interested in trying to spawn Betta's now. She's got her hands full with a dog, cat, boyfriend, and college.

I totally understand... its such a wierd process, most people don't believe me when I first tell them about it. ^_~ I didn't know all of this until like last year.

I'd like to know too

Kay- Yes, I'm almost positive she'd be happy to. You can probably PM Erica about it- I don't think she'll mind selling/giving away a couple bettas out of 100+! :]

I'm getting a boy aswell, I can't wait. ^.^
