Today at Wal-Mart I found female betta fish. They were extremely tiny, probably just babies. They were all very dull colored (and sickly, I wouldn't of bought any of them). But what I was wondering was, do they gain any color as they grow, or do they stay dull? And (just exploring all my options) what would be the best ages of male and female bettas to breed? Like how long would a tiny female like that take to be of breeding age? They were about 3+ cm.'s long I think, if that's any help.
Also, and I'm not really considering this right now, but for future reference... How hard is it to breed bettas? How many babies do you usually have? Is there a fair market for them? What all does it entail?
Thanks for any information! You'll also be glad to know (if you read my last post), our betta fish will be moved to a larger bowl with some fun stuff in it to swim around in, in three days. I also discovered today the color black makes him defensive, and he recognizes when you lean over his bowl that food is incoming! lol
Smart fish indeed! Thinking about getting another one 'cause we love him so much.
