if i am going to be breeding my bettas for while, how should i have them set up? im getting a 100 gallon to put the females, and i have a 30 gallon also, and 4 10 gallons, and im getting a 15 gallon, (i have just bred my first pair of cambodian bettas )

in the 30 i have an overstocked comunity its all the platty/guppys fault but a bunch are going to go to a lfs im kinda sick of all the fry ever sciense my poor oscar died i have a surplus of fry, so now i am not removing them from the tanks i have a friend who is setting up a 40 gallon, and i am going to throw 90% of my fish her way dont get me wrong i like my livebearers, but when u got tooooooooooo *takes breath* oooooooo many i have enough fry and adults to fill up a 40-50 gallon i will keep some of my plattys and guppies, my danios, and white clouds, the shark? hmm i think i will give that to my friend too, (im blabbering agagin)

so i will have available a 100 gallon, 30, 10, 15 who should i put in these? i will have 2 10s set up as breeding tanks (so they arnt available) and i guess i can set up dividers in the other 10s and in the 15, but that wont give me enough space for the other males i get, i have a few 1 gallons too, sould i put the young males in mason jars? any ideas welcome

umm. if u have to many fry with livebearers why would u want to breed like 5 pairs? n.e way i wish u luck with all ur betta breeding plans. i had let it take over my life and now i regret it. but if u aren't useing the 15, use that for a rearing tank with dividers to house multi spawns. the 100 with females in it,? i hope u don't get to many females(daniel has different past than i did but when i tried to house alot of females together with all the goods like plants and stuff, it didn't work out at all.) but who knows. good luck with ur breeding future.

thanx and the females going into the 100 are going to be gental and good looking all the others are going to the lfs

just be careful. i guess they should be fine after the they deal with rank. i never really let them deal with it. i ended up takeing them out. o well. good luck with your new tank plans.
