i really don't know the right time to put the female in for breeding. I've read and heard that i should look out for signs before putting them together. So far the male has made a bubblenest already and her tummy is getting big. She's white and not very translucent so i can't see if those are eggs filling up her tummy. But certainly her belly looks quite big even before eating. I have tried to put her in after several days of introducing them through a see through glass. But he kept on nipping at her and she's having a hard time navigating the hiding spots i set-up in the tank. She just keeps on trying to jump outside the water. Now she has her caudal fin nipped at and a few nippings on her anal fin as well. I am really worried so i separated them again, right now i am trying to make her fins heal before i put them back together again. I would just like to ask up to how much should i be willing to tolerate their "courtship". I am afraid my fish will get killed during the spawning "process". My male betta is a blue crowntail and he has made a very elegant nest right under a styrofoam cup i placed in the tank. i put them in a 3gal tank( still saving up for more space) and i placed plastic and real plants for hiding. I live near the equator so i really don't have much of a problem when it comes to heating . PLEASE HELP ME! I want to breed them and i have made arrangements already if and only if the spawning pushes through. Thanks and will be expecting to hear from you guys soon!
