Betta channoides and their breeding

[johannes]

when you buy these wild bettas, you cannot force/assume that they will breed for you even though you have a male and a female inside your tank.

sometimes they need to choose their partners, some people have it easy (buy a pair and the pair spawned for them), some buy 3 pairs only 1 pair spawned.

a pair should do fine in 30-40 cm tank. pH and temperature wise is not critical, 5-7 and 28-30 degrees respectively.

i have bred them in pH 5 and 7, in pairs and in a group. it all depends on your fish, whether they want to spawn for you or not... just keep them happy and healthy and they will do their part..
