Breeding dragon scale betta is a little complicated. The variety has already been cross-bred to produce a unique appearance. When you produce strong genes dragon scale betta a male and female have a strong dominant gene.

Prepared a betta fish for breeding two weeks ago. Provide them with protein-rich food such as daphnia, bloodworms, etc. When you put both in the same tank, give them space to know each other. When you put them together, place a transparent divider between them. As observed then are they comfortable or aggressive.

If both are ready for breeding the color of the betta body turns dark. A male dragon scale betta has the mail have a tube-like organ which is known as gonopodium, which is an organ used to deposit sperm into a female body.

A female spit the egg from the mouth and through to the male. Once the female releases the egg. The male swims down scoops the egg in his mouth, and puts it in a bubble nest. The pair will repeat the same process when all the eggs released egg look like white spheres in a bubble nest. The male is fertilizing and hatching the egg. This takes 3 days to hatching process.

The male betta protects the nest during hatching. If any eggs fall, he will put them back. The first fry can not swim. When they attached yolk sacs they twisted fins from the bubble nest. After 3 days, Fry will become a free swimmer. Once the process is complete, after hatching, the male leaves the fry in an open environment.

They start feeding when the hatching is complete. The crucial part of the breeding is raising a fry. They suck egg yolks. You have to balance between providing baby fish with food and not overfeeding them. Initial days feed the fried egg yolk. You can offer foods like atria and baby shrimp. They move him out of the baby‘s tank.

Raising healthy fry freshwater quality is a basic requirement. Frequently change the water to prevent the rise of toxins levels such as ammonia. When the fry starts swimming individually, separate them in a new tank.
