The Beautiful Breeding Behaviours of Bettas 

I don't know how you get such great video of your fish, especially the tiny babies, but it's greatly appreciated, thanks for all your hard work sharing your knowledge, and making it so interesting and fun to watch.

The water level is too high, making it difficult for the male to put back the fell down egg. I think it should only be 3 inches high.

👌The quality of this video is excellent! Photography, music choices, voice-over, and editing are all wonderful.❤ Love the new look! Also, those bettas are amazing 👏.

The new format for breeding videos is absolutely fantastic. Wonderful cinematography, an absolute delight to watch Your style evolving over the last couple of years has been awesome

The editing of this video is wonderful! Great content, love how you documented the whole process in such a great way. Especially those close up shots, those are insanely amazing. Keep up the fantastic work man!👏

You finally heard my request of betta breeding videos , you are one of the best betta breeders out there. Keep it up! 🎉

The babies are sooo cute and the parent bettas are gorgeous!! Can’t wait to see how the lil ones turn out 😊😊

Maaattteee!! This channel just keeps on getting better and better! Love your stuff, Don ever change❤

I’ve been dying to see how the last videos with the 3 different pairs turned out fully grown. Is there a video I missed or an instagram post? Seeing how their genetics combine is so so interesting.

Now that was fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Nick! Looking forward to the update.

awwww so cute!!!

Great video Nick! always fun to watch these, I love the music and sound affects, it gives them a little bit of personality, great little stories for kids that want to have a go, keep it up 🙂

The edit of this videos have been outstanding!! This are the best quality aquarium videos I have seen all over RU-vid!! and the information provided, besides the wonderful shots and music is incredible!! Great Work!! have been watching since you were still at your house, before buying those 4 big tanks and building the stands!! Congrats!

This is so awesome. Thank you! The Bettas are gorgeous and I can't wait to see what the babies end up looking like 😍

I remember when I first started watching and comparing it to now you should be so proud of how far your production quality has come

Legit, these are some of my fav videos of yours. The whole nature documentary style. Thank you for sharing.

Going all fancy-pantsy with that camera, sound and narration - Love it!🤩 That male Betta is a total spunk! 😍🥰

Great video! Reminds me of when I somewhat accidentally bred my sparkling gourami during quarantine! They were my desktop aquarium & I got to watch the babies grow up to be adults :') One of these days ill edit & post the footage it was a wonderful distraction. Everyone eventually seemed to pass from dwarf gourami iridovirus disease & I haven't kept my fav fish for fear of the disease. I recently adopted my friends betta & she's been a real joy. bubble nests are the cutest things ever imo

production quality ON POINT! great work man!

dude you are cracking me up. I enjoy watching the production value go up. the hike and outing movies are amazing. but most enjoy watching your talent progress as a narrator and dialogist. This is so well done. bordering on playwright and satire. cant imagine where you are gonna take all of this. AND so easy to learn and follow the process. miss hearing and with out further duo....love it when you say baby brine shrimp...i made it a drinking game.

Loves videos like this! Hope you keep making more documentary style like this. Editing and videography is top notch

Really cool videos, i'm glad they're back!

Its a lot of hard-work and dedication. Excellent videos! Thanks for sharing man! ❤

Nick, this is really next level video quality. Keep up the great work.

This was really cool to watch! Thank you for sharing!!!! Great video

Bro! Your videos are evolving into epic aquarium documentaries! Reminds me of BBC docos with narration by David Attenborough. So inspired by your growth 💪💪💪

Love the stuff you do man!! Inspires me to take on more difficult breading projects!! You have such a cool thing going on! Keep fish simple!! It’s great!!!

Amazing video nick 😊 , ive always wanted to try breed bettas but always get put of by my local fish shop. But after seeing you and how you went about it all makes me wanna do it 😊. Thanks for sharing mate 😊

The work you did In this video is awesome man 👏🏻 🙌 The ASMR bubble, eating , water sounds with sync. 👌 The video quality, bg music and your voice The best video ! Huge respect and love from india 🇮🇳 brother 🙏 ❤️

Fantastic video and Detail. Absolutely relaxing to watch.👏👍

Wow!! This was the best betta breeding video I've seen until now

this is the most beautiful and instructive betta-breeding vid EVER. kudos dude!!!

Amazing

Stunning video, absolutely loved it

My day just got better with this video ❤

Can’t wait for the next vid! ❤

Thumbs up 👍🏼

This is soooo different to your previous uploads. Gives a totally different perspective. Keep mixing it up 😊😊

Love the Betta videos!

Wow! Great video man! I love your channel so much. You are a huge inspiration to me. Thank you!

Back again, semi successful. After finding eggs, I removed mom. I checked once daily. Each time I lifted the lid, Dads’ bubble nest was smaller😢. Day 3 I didn’t see any eggs left and removed the male. As I was getting ready to break down the tub I spotted the tiniest fry I’ve ever seen. Only 2 confirmed. I will give them a bit of time to see if they grow up enough to move. I consider this a win and hope Dad has learned skills for another go at it. Fingers crossed everyone!!😅

What an awesome video! I’ve been boring myself out waiting for another vid 🤣

This was an awesome and educational video. Thank you ❤

Impressive work mate SERIOUSLY

Nice camera work. I’ve bred and raised hundreds of fighters over many years and have found best food to start the fry on is infusoria. This only needs to be fed for the first few days and gives the fry a real growth boost before moving them onto artemia. If you haven’t any infusoria you can start them on freshly hatch artemia as soon as they start free swimming. If you check these tiny fry out under a microscope you’ll be amazed at the size of their mouth. Nice pair BTW. The male is a so call galaxy koi because of his iridescent scales…

The camera work in your vids is so good. Any chance you’d share what you shoot with?

Good timing. I’m probably going to try and breed my Bettas this coming month. They are already in tanks side by side and the boy has already been building bubble nest in his.

tks for the vid. few suggestions that might improve your hatch rate and quantity. 1. I dont us a sponge filter until the fry are free swimming. bettas are use to shallow pools with no flow. two fish in a large tank like this is not a big bioload but the surface motion can interrupt their breeding. 2. I use a large transparent chimney for separating the female that has holes cut in it to allow water exchange between the male and female tanks. the pheremone exchange will improve the clutch size and I think improves the size of the eggs (anecdotal observation). 3. use some almond leaf in the tank if you have. the tannins gets them in the mood. 4 I use yellow plastic lids that let some light pass for a nest site. this mimicks a floating leaf and the color can help the male monitor the health of each egg and dispose of the bad ones. 5. I have had females help the male tend the nest so I check her actions before pulling her. sometimes they work well as a pair and can keep the eggs very well together. so say theat as the parents tend the eggs and roll them in their mouths they also transfer immunities to the eggs. maybe it is just cleaning. but 2 can be better than 1 and for sure dont pull the male until the hatch is done. one last thing, here we can buy up tubes for the sponge filters with slits cut horizontally along the length of the tube. this allow the water to exit through the side of the tube instead of making a large surface disturbance. very good for small fry because they do not get pushed around at the surface and can still feed easily while the bubbler is on.

Betta storyline! This is awesome 😂

I love your videos!!!! ❤ your videos are my tv shows 😂

thank you for the information how breed betta fish i gone try

yeah thanks for makeing this video.

I once saw a video about a betta farm (I think in Thailand) where they raised the young betta in liquor bottles that where arranged like a grid on the floor. They could even stand on the bottles. Anyway, they used a circular saw to cut a hole in the upper part of the bottle, so they could do water changes with a water hose.

I love screaming the title of this video in random public places

I really loved your every project mostly bettas❤️

I do get mesmerised watching these videos I know idea how you know all this stuff lol, How are the betta looking from a year ago that you bread??

Oh my god your camera quality is amazing. I love your videos. Could you please do a guppy video like this with the breeding and birthing process and you could do a guppy fry development video also. I love these

Love your videos man

Brilliant video

Love it!

You have a wonderful tallent; the cinematography, story and narrative are second to none. I watched it several times; it still amazes me that the little pairs of eyes turn into fish. Respect and gratitude from Georgia USA

Next level vediography Love bettas!!❤

nice cinematography.

Awesome video 🙏

I love this video so informative and intresting reminds of blue planet by david attenborough

This is your highest quality video yet, extremely good. And funfact: my current breeding pair is the exact opposite, male looks like your female and female looks like your male and both are Plakat

great video, you have done an amazing job

It would be nice to see how the babies turned out

I keep coming back to watch again. Today I’m setting up a small tub pond on my back porch to cultivate wild mosquito larva. Also other micro critters indigenous to my area. So I can have live food for conditioning. Feeding fry.

Thank you for this wonderful video! Has to be one of my favorite!! But I do have a question for you, I thought that betta fry needed live food absolutely or else tsome wouldn't eat and die? Is this wrong?

So awesome nick!!🙂👍🏻⭐️

I love these documentary style videos you’ve been creating lately! One question I am left with is how do the male genetics get passed on through to the babies? If she develops her eggs, and he is in charge of hatching them, is there a point where he fertilizes them? Did that happen overnight when you came back the next morning and the eggs where there? Thanks for all the info as always!

I bred some betas as a hobby back in Sri Lanka long time ago and it’s fun to watch them . Thanks for bringing my memories back mate. Keep up the good work. I want to buy some puffer peas for my kid . Can I buy from your shop , I m living in Melbourne and don’t know the weather suits for them.

I hope we do get an update on these... the last Beta project you did, never got the last update :(

0:48 My first question was "Did he name his fish?" I was not disappointed.

Love the beta videos

Hi! I love your vids! I am getting a tank next Friday and will begin cycling. For a 20 gallon High tank do you recommend Aqueon Quiet Flow 20 hang on the back or a sponge filter? I’ll have a Betta and some neon tetras

When the juveniles start hatching, can we feed the males?

a very nice betta breeding video.

What an epic intro 😁

Such an amazing video! Could you try breeding ember tetras next?

Lovely 🥰

Mateeee big fan of you.❤ Last time i watched your betta breeding video and did amazing breeding still i could not save younglings. Anyway This time it is wonderful and amazing story and audio is fun with fish❤. Great story mate❤

Nice video! How do you know when they are ready to mate? Or is it that you put them in that position?

Awesome video.. what I do differently is that I have the water lowered than that.. makes it easier for the male to keep the babies in the nest.. also I dont think they eat flake food hey.. :) Mine only eat live food. Infusoria for the first week, and then BBs.

Yeah really like this new look for the channel. Like a David Attenborough Of the fish world i really think if this vedio dose well that you should make more like it i can really see content like this increasing the appreciation for fish breeding.

That was beautiful

I am going to start Betta breeding love your videos

Hi I got 2 bettas in a tub and I got a very small amount of fish because the female kept eating it and 1 hour later they did not have any interest in each other Did the female eat the eggs because she was humgry?

100% absolutely a better love story than the Titanic.

WE NEED FOOTAGE OF THE BACKGROUND TANK, IT LOOKS INSANE😍

I cant believe that content like this is on youtube its too high quality

Can we get an update on the Jet Black and Lavender Bettas? Thanks so much for the videos ❤❤

I like this documentary, David Attenborough, vibe!

I just started another beta breeding project, they’ve attempted about three times but no eggs yet. I’m trying them again today and may swap out the female if I have to

Mashallah 🤗🥰💝🌟!!!...

Would love to see what they turned out to look like....was hoping to get that with the pairs you used with your breeding in tubs vid ....unless I missed a video update on how they look😳

Hey man what happened to your Betta fry from some months ago we didnt see them fry full grown?

Great video. At what age do they need to be separated?

Thankyou for this amazing video now i know the behavior of betta fish while breeding. I tried to breed my betta one time but i immediately remove the female because my male is too aggressive little did i know it's just a normal process of breeding betta fish thank you so much❤
