Hi @ll,
Just thought i'd try and organise a check list for everything I may need to breed my new fancy CT betta. I have read up on it and there seems to be (as usual:%) mixed opinions - so I thought I'd ask my fellow fish fanatics.
At the moment I have a 26 Gallon, but understanding I need a seperate tank for breeding I was thinking of a small 3 Gallon.

Oh, if any people in the UK are after a local betta breeder try this guy. I highly recommend.

Achilles

Also most betta sites have breeding instructions. Good luck.

You need back-up foods.

You need a culture of either MW or VE as a failsafe in case your BBS fail you at any stage in the first few weeks, and trust me, they can be fickle.

And if you can't find a hurricane lamp, or even if you can, use a coke bottle and heat up a soldering iron and stab a few holes though it. this allows the male to 'smell' the female and produces better results than a solid container.

Also, try different nesting materials. Nashi pear mesh is my favourite, but I also use bubblewrap, indian almond leaves, and on rare occasions, a half-cup.
