i might be interested. seeing as it will be a while until you give any away since they have to grow up a little i may have everything figured out with my current betta and be ready to take on a second. it is sort of like having children. you have to have the care of one under control before you start thinking about another. what colors are the fish you are breeding? and what types of tails? keep me posted okay

1. Wait a month....... While your waiting that month out................ 2. Fill 50 1/2 gallon jars with water........ 3. Change them all at least once a week (twice is better with that size jar) 4. Keep their temp constant and at least 78 degrees. 5. Spend 30 min twice a day sitting in front of them (This is the minimal time it will take you to feed them and they need to be fed 3 times a day) 6. If you do this for a month and still want to breed, then go for it.

Just to warn you...it is harder then you think. I havent even got to fry yet, and I already know it is going to be harder then I thought...sadly...I havent even gotten to a bubble nest.

Constant temp at 80 degrees is CRUCIAL for the development of young bettas. If you cannot matain this, don't even bother.

CONGRATS!!! I am only 13 also. My guppy just had fry a few months ago. They are just now getting color. She had about 13-14 babies. *Or that's all that survived.* and they are just now getting color. It's so fun to watch them grow. Congrats with the babies!
