I've been interested in Bettas since I entered this hobby around 3 years ago. Breeding Bettas was one of the first things that I was interested in. However, I never got the chance to do so. Recently, I've gotten back into the fish hobby after months of neglect and entered a newly opened Petco around my area. As soon as I walked in, the Betta section was directly infront of me. I walked over, and examined all the Bettas. Petco offers Halfmoon Bettas, Delta Bettas, Crowntail Bettas, Halfmoon Plakats, King Bettas, and Halfmoon Double Tails Bettas. I decided to get a Halfmoon as I've always been a sucker for long fins.
The Betta's picture can be seen below. He currently lives in a 4.5g filtered tank. The leaves are Indian Almond leaves.
That was two weeks ago.
This past week, I bought 3 Halfmoon Betta females. Though none of their colors are remotely close to the Male's, I'm still going to choose one and try to breed them.
That was two weeks ago.
Today, I traded my friend a 20g High tank that has been laying in my basement for the past 2 years and a 2.5g with a light strip. I also gave him roughly 15lbs of black gravel and some Goldfish flakes I had laying around. In return, he drove me to Petco and bought me a 6.6g Bookshelf tank. It has a nice footprint (roughly 24” x 9” x 10") which isn't too tall for Betta breeding.
Pictures of the females and 6.6g bookshelf tank setup will be posted either tomorrow or Saturday whenever I have time.
