@daintree, I'd be happy to walk you through the process of breeding betta. First off, you'll want to set up a separate breeding tank with plenty of plants and a heater to keep the water at around 82-85°F.

As for the bubble nest, that's a great sign, but you'll want to make sure the water quality ...

@oceanway, 5 males, huh. Pointed fins, that's a good call.

You've put in the effort and it shows. I think you'd be a strong contender in the next TOTM contest, especially with tanks #2 and #3. Good luck if you decide to enter!

"Trust the experts" - nope, I'm kidding. Honestly, I'm clueless when it comes to betta sorority tanks, so thanks for the insight @Deanasue.

Wow, those tanks are stunning.

Honestly, it doesn't look great for your friend's fish. I'm going to be upfront about it.

Can you tell me more about the tank maintenance? How often does your friend clean the tank, and what are the water parameters like? Also ...

Honestly, I'm wondering if I made a mistake by entering. I think it was a great attempt though, lunarix.

So this is like a "Betta of the month" thing. I'm in. Here's my guy.

Here's his pic:

I know he doesn't look super cute in pictures, but trust me, his personality is adorable. When I feed him ...

My female betta's not doing great and I'm worried she's on her way out. She's hiding at the bottom of my tank, near the corner, making it hard for me to get a good look at her. I did manage to catch a glimpse of her abdomen area when she swam by, and it's pretty swollen. She's still eating, but I ...
