Im going to the petstore today to get my female, and im going to get the supplies needed to breed as well. I know im going to need a 10 gallon tank, an under water heater, some brine shrimp to hatch, but what else?
I’ve already got a bubbler that will be on in the frys tank during the day, and off at night (they will be in my room, and the bubbler is to loud to sleep with)~is this ok.
So, what other supplies will I need?
you also need a 20-40 gallon tank for grow out, 3 dozen 1 gallon tanks to separate males, 2x 5 gallon tanks for the parents to be conditioned/recover in. plus sponge filters for the grow out and 10 gallon tank. as well as other various bits and pieces.
you need quite a bit of kit for breeding bettas.
petstore bettas aren’t good bettas to breed. a pair from another breeder where you can trace their family history to work out recessive genes and what kind of fry you’re going to get (and to make sure they don’t carry anything undesirable or any bad genetic traits).

You may consider this guide as a starting reference:

However, I’d suggest that you get prepared for possible failure (if this is your first time). Breeding is easier said than done, and it takes error & trial to get experience.
