    Re: I have baby bettas!!

    It's not uncommon to lose the whole spawn the first time you try.
    You have to be sure you keep the water clean with water changes, but you can't change the water parameters so you have to add the new water in bit by bit, etc.

    There's a lot of online resources as to how to successfully raise baby bettas, so I hope your next attempt has more success.

    Re: I have baby bettas!!

    Sorry for the loss of the babies. I used to want to breed bettas. These days I have a lot of animals I'm interested in breeding. I might try bettas one day. I really loved Crowntails and Halfmoons.

    Re: I have baby bettas!!

    Are you going to try breeding them again later? You should post pics of them. I'd love to see what they look like.
