feed your bettas frozen blood worms, chopped live earthworms( i buy them at walmart as fish bait), and chopped frozen raw shrimp you can get from the grocery. that will condition them. also i keep 20 liter tub with infusoria that occurs as plant matter breaks down. you def will need it when the eggs hatch. feed it with a turkey baster. i use a microscope to check the culture. also keep a culture of microworms handy. as to water, i use pure rain water i collect in a tub under a drain spout. keep the pair separated but close enough to see each other for a week or so. when they try to get at each other through the glass it's time to put them together.

Thanks for sharing subbed 👍

Like the setup bro got me wanting to film a video

Try using Stanley knife blades instead their much safer and not flexible.

Dear csopsrs: I never had success, keeping Ceratophyllum demersum, though I’ve acquired some, several times. I gave all my driftwood (Malaysian and Mopani) away, in favor of local rocks (which I tested, to ensure they are aquarium-safe). I’ve found that driftwood encourages blackbeard algae (Audouinella). Thank you, for sharing more details, regarding your, amazing set-up. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

Dear Sir: Has your crayfish ever injured any of your bettas? I hope this doesn’t happen. I tried keeping Neocaridina davidi (cherry shrimp), with a Betta splendens, in a 10-gallon, breeder tank. I was sure the betta would devour shrimplets, so I put only, male shrimp, in the tank. I didn’t suffer any losses. But, one never knows when a betta will decide to attack adult shrimp, so I discontinued this. I was wondering why you don’t include any, true substrate, in your tanks. A deep substrate provides lots surface area, for beneficial bacteria. I realize, that the ceramic cylinders you include have lots of surface area. But, personally, I like the look of a black substrate and black background. I paint the backs, of all, my aquaria black. This hides unsightly equipment and power cords. I use coal slag, to cap compost (chopped and baked horse manure), as a fertilized substrate. The black background and substrate really makes the hardscape, flora, and fauna stand out. What temperature are the unheated tanks? I know that the optimum temperature, for Betta splendens is 80°F. I noticed that you heat the breeding tote. If your, local, water treatment plant uses chlorine (not chloramine) you can leave buckets of water, from the tap, uncovered and the chlorine will evaporate, within a few days. This is not the case with chloramine, so if they use that, a dechlorinator is necessary. I find it helpful, to keep several, uncovered buckets, for use, in water changes. If I do a major, water change, I have to add some, heated water, from the tap and some dechlorinator. Thank you, for sharing details, on your, terrific hobby. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar

Dear RUclipsr: You have a super-terrific station set up to breed some fantastic species of Betta. Your hobby looks interesting, but your videos have no dialogue. I and other members of the FishFam would like to know what you are doing and see you. I hope you will upload a video, describing your hobby and showing yourself, so we can get to know you. Keep up your, tremendous hobby and sharing it on RUclips. All my best, Sincerely, new subscriber, E. J. Brinegar P. S. May I know your name or how you wish to be addressed, please?
