ok my male betta laready made a full bubble nest, i have relase the female, sometimes they sniff at each other, then they do a lot of chasing, how long will this process last? how long should i wait before securing the female again
if they do nothing but chasing?
 
I have bred them a few times and the male is usually busy squeezing the eggs out of the female within a couple hours if the female is full of eggs (like she should be before you release her).
 
Not too sure...I haven't had that problem. I'd keep an eye on them, and if any fin damage happens I would remove the female. I also wouldn't leave them together while you go to work or something. Your female is plump full of eggs right?
 
well i have them together for a week, the male already made a full bubble nest and when i release the female sometimes she will sniff him then she run away and hide, seems like she has some eggs already, but not really fat yet. should i wait till she's really buffy?
 
I'd wait until the female is real full looking.
 
ok thanks! i feed them both with forzen blood worms 3 times a day to condition the pair. so maybe i should wait another week or so then until she looks really full, if she looks full even though i didn't feed her yet, that should be all eggs inside right? im really exicted to breed these pair cause thyere both full breed halfmoon and imported from thailand.
 
Awesome! Yes, if she looks like she just ate before she actually did eat, then that'll be the eggs. :)

Good luck!
 
one more question, im culturing INFUSORIA for betta frys, i have the jar for 2 weeks now and the water is like milk color, does this mean those milky color water are the infusorias? so i just take some of that and squirt it a the baby frys?

Definetly keep an eye on them when they are together. I had a male with a big bubble nest and a big fat female full of eggs and I went to the store. When I got back the male was dead. :(
