Betta/Plakat Fish Room–Spawning Tank

A brief look at my fish room where I house my plakats. I plan to build a betta barrack for my males and future fry. The females live in a ten gallon tank, and love to eat! Also shown is my spawning tank that I set up, as well as a pair just about ready to breed. The jars that I have some males in are 3/4 gallon and get small water changes daily and a complete change every week.
very nice setup. good luck on ur spawn.
Thank you, hopefully I can video the spawning.
what about landfill teresa? He’s in that room, give him some love. He owns that room. hahahah.
yeah, but you can’t really watch your fish in a dark bucket! I enjoy watching my animals. And, although I don’t take your simple approach, i can control the evironment of the tank and get more consistency in the breeding. Lastly as you said, I have a nice set up that looks good. These are the reasons I did this and it works. I think you suck if you raise your fish in a bucket, but good luck with that.
i sugest you to lower your spawnning tanks to like 3″-5″ so itll be easier for the male to breed. because it wont work your male so hard. ive only been into betta for only 6 weeks now. and ive already have my 4th batch growing. so far i sucess in breeding same pair 3 times already 9-10 days apart from each batch of layed eggs. message me if u like some pointers. no vids because my cpu + vista windows wont let me upload any vids
The level was at about 6″ and by the time they actually spawned some evaporated. I’m not sure I would breed the same fish over and over…especially 10 days apart. The spawning takes a bunch out of them and they need time to recover and rest.
nah my pair seems to do fine =D.. they rest enough =D if i already done it 3 x a month =D.. and they seem fine and females is already ready to breed again =D
i think u need a hood for the spawning tank..theres not gonna be alot of heat for the frys…
You’re right, I do cover the tank when I actually spawn and have fry, but for the video I was just showing what I do for a set up.
wow nice setup you must be realy dedicated, and love your bettas, you sound cute to hehe :)
hey there, i was wondering where and how did you get those 3 rectangle containers next to your spawning tank? those looks great. i would like to get some please let me know! thanks!
I actually picked those containers up at the goodwill thrift store, but i’m sure you can order them from like a website that sells trophy boxes.
ohhh okay thanks..atleast i know they are trophy boxes…lol..if ever i come across some..thanks for the info.
how many gallons is that female tank?
nice video one thing your missing sponge filter.
these are just breeding tanks, all the other fish have filters.
have u ever try fighting the males??
Use something other than a chimney b/c it messes with the top of the water–breaks apart bubble nest. Try getting a beanie baby box, cut the bottom 1/16th off and drill 5/8th holes all over the box. For me this helps…try the Thai method as well. bettas-dojo daaht kom for more info
nice
you don’t need asponge filter yeyt
sweet set up hope it gose good
great site
kool setup..you knoe female bettas only release there eggs unbred when they are overloaded with eggs….my female did it like 2-4 times cuz i kept feeding her alot of bloodworms so that made her have tons of eggs…
what kind of jars are those
