Bubble nest with eggs!!!!

There are two main reasons you should not have bred.

1.) You obviously weren't prepared.
2.) Your bettas are veiltails.

But since you've already done it, I reccomend Atison's Betta Starter. Live foods such as Microworms, Vinegar Eels, and Baby Brine Shrimp are also important. Sponge filters are good for the first month or two of the babies' lives, since they don't have powerful intakes and can aslo work as an air bubbler.

I think Ashley's pretty much covered the rest.. Next time, be sure to do some more research before breeding!

what's wrong with breeding veiltails?

what's wrong with breeding veiltails?

Veiltails are pretty much the mutts of the fishworld. Just like with dogs, there's absolutely nothing wrong with them, but breeding them is frowned upon. With a spawn of possibly 200+ babies, it's much easier finding homes for superdeltas and halfmoons than it is for veils.. not to mention all the veils that are suffering in little cups all over the world.

Can I get this stuff at Pj,s pet store?

Or Big all.s where its all about fish.?

I doubt it :\ Atison's betta starter you might be able to find (we don't have any PJs pet stores and only a few Big Als around here so I wouldn't know). Look around for local betta breeders (or even fish breeders). You might be able to obtain a culture from them as MWs are a must have. Aquabid.com also has some sellers with MWs. I also sell them but shipping priority from Canada wouldn't be worth it.

Female & male Bettas can never be kept together. They are not a grouping species, and even a female community is difficult to keep peacefully. Unless you have a 20+ gallon VERY well planted tank, it is totally unnatural and unhealthy to keep a male and female together. You will end up with ripped up Bettas.
