alright need some help again thanks to every one the
last time that helped me..
ok so i got theses to betta fish off a friend off mine that was leaven the country awhile ago.. one is male one is female.
.so they were fine for ages but the last few days
the male has bein chasing her around the tank and has also
being building a bubble nest..now i looked it up and every says there
getten ready to breed with each other...and that the should be seperated
in different tanks and that...but thats the prob iv only 1 tank..
now wat would happen if i just left it off the tank is 180 liter so
its big enough for the female to hide and that from the male..
anyone no wat to do ...ty in advance:D

All you have to do is buy a breeding box for the fish in the pet shop, Its a see through plastic box that floats in the water, you put the female in there, she lays the eggs, they drop down through a grate and stay there and hatch, the reason why they drop down through a grate is so she will not be able to eat them. When she lays the eggs you can leave her go again but leave the babies in their until they are a decent size so they wont be eaten.

Its not guppies hes trying to breed. You can leave em both in the tank. The male builds a nest , the female lays the eggs in the bubble nest the male does the rest. He guards the nest and looks after the young. Good luck with em.

Well thats how I bred all my fish by doing it with the breeding box, It eliminates the chances of the eggs being eaten.
