Another betta question..sorry!?

Question

I want to start breeding bettas, I did all my research but to start out, should i go to a pet store (pet supermarket, pet smart) and find a good betta? Do trhey sell half moons and elatsa there? Should i get one from there to learn how to breed them? Or should i order from aqua bid? I need help i cant decide!

Answer 1

I don't usually give out my email but add me if you want to cause i done it before and i know everything you need to know Lolz.

And yeah they should have those type of Betta, But you need to make sure its not too old or too young so it can breed.

Answer 2

First do some MORE research and buy tanks first :)

You seem like you're handling this really well! I'm sure you'll be a great breeder.

First go to a local pet store, or an aquatic store, preferably. If you don't have one of those (they have AMAZING fish) just go to a pet store.

They should have half moons/deltas (is that what you meant?) there.

Breeding bettas can be difficult because they are really aggressive. But they're inexpensive so buy a few. Like I said, buy a few tanks.

I'm going to add me to your contacts, so shoot me an email if you want :)

I'm going to an aquatics store in a few hours and purchasing a 300 gallon tank, an arothron midnight puffer, and an arothron golden puffer. Plus maybe some live rocks, and I'm going to purchase some shrimp to breed for the pufers because they are carnivores. It's going to be expensive, but worth it. I love fish!

Good luck!

Your best bet is going to be to find a breeder.  Petstore bettas are usually overbreed, undercared for, and genetically weak.  A great website on betta breeding and care is http://ultimatebettas.com.  You can even post on the site to find a breeder in your area as well as mentorship and advise through the entire process.

I think that you should go to the petstore. I know that petsmart and petco have halfmoons and elatsas there. Look at this website below, it tells you everything you need to know about breeding bettas. Just copy and paste it onto your web browser.
