How to breed Siamese Fighting Fish

   

Breeding Siamese Fighting Fish

Let me first say that breeding fighting fish should only be done by an experienced hobbiest with reputable breeding-quality bettas.

The basic equipment needed includes:

  1. 10 gallon aquarium
  2. Water conditioner
  3. Methylene Blue - helps prevent egg fungus and keeps infections from hurting the spawning pair due to torn fins
  4. Square sponge filter
  5. Styrofoam cup cut in half
  6. Thermometer - the kind that are placed inside the tank
  7. 1 or 2 floating plastic plants - to provide protective hiding place for female and fry
  8. Either a hood and light - must cover entire tank...those that do not should be covered with saran wrap. This traps in moist humid air which helps fry's labyrinth develop correctly.
  9. Heater - should be fully submersible including cord
  10. Microworm culture - from breeder
  11. An air pump
