The Pre-mating Period
- You need to condition your bettas for about two weeks before you attempt to breed them.
- Do a 50% water change every week.
- If you want strong, healthy bettas, you need to feed them live food, such as brine shrimp or mosquito larvae.
- Beware commercial live food as they can bring parasites into your tanks.
- The best thing you can do is order a culture from a professional betta breeder and raise the culture yourself.
