Regular Member Black oranda Posted November 6, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted November 6, 2003 Do you guys think a 5 gal is big for them to bread? And how mutch do they coast (bettas)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gabi-hime Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 A five gallon tank is probably large enough for them to comfortably breed in, but unless you have very few fry it's probably not going to be adequate to raise them all until they're ready to be jarred. I go with one ten gallon for breeding, and have a spare in case the clutch was unusally large so I can accomodate their grow-out period. For some good advice on exactly what you need to start spawning, please check here: http://bettatalk.com/spawning_supplies.htm As for cost, most petsore bettas with veiltails sell for around 3.99 to 4.99 USD regarless of color. Sometimes crowntails will sell for perhaps a dollar more. Of course, like all fish that have a well developed fancy and very many distinctive varieties, you can pay a lot of money for a particular patten of betta fish with full finnage. I'll assume that these are not what you're looking for ^^. If you just want some nice petstore betta fish, then you'll find they cost between 3.00-6.00 dollars, depending on where you buy them ^^.
