  1. This is probably his first time to spawn. Give him a few days,maybe,and he will spawn then. Has he even ripped her tail yet?


  2. Ideally, you should wait longer to breed them so that you can condition both of them.  After having them for just two days, you can't be sure they're at their peak health.

    It sounds like your male might be young and inexperienced.  He will figure it out soon enough, don't worry.  :)  If this goes on for anymore than a day more, I would remove the female and try again in about a week.  You don't want to stress her out.  Stress causes illness in fish (as in most animals).  If she is sick, she won't breed.

    Don't worry about his nest.  He can build it to be just as impressive the second time around.  :)

  3. Take the female out..

    What are you going to do with the babies if they do breed anyway? you might not be able to sell them or anything.. let alone raising them.. Its hard work..

  4. ur male betta is too exicited because it his first time ;)

    lol... give them time.. atleast three days of spwaning
