Betta breeding?

if there in a divided tank you leave them for a week and then remove the divider. and the female after she lays the eggs
I'm not sure what the"sensor athings" are.
There will be a small white knob on her ovipositor.
Do as Evelyn says and you'll be OK.
You'll only need about 4-5" of water in a bare bottom tank.
The male will rip the female's fins and she'll look pretty ragged.
BUT keep your camera ready, it's an amazing egg laying process.
When it's over, remove the female to another tank (perhaps medicated)
When you see wigglers, leave the male in for a couple of days (unless he starts eating them).
You'll need to hatch some baby brine shrimp to feed them for awhile.
Good luck

PS: Be prepared to have about twice as many females as males(in my experience) and you'll need to figure out what to do with them.

Hey, thanks for the response.I do have the males in a breeder net and the female is free to roam a 65G aquarium.The male has escaped before and she will follow him around but nothing happens because he hides.When they do see each other through the breeder net, the male will flash her.
