(its best to make sure you are around to remove the female after mating anyway) make sure she is kept warm and fed well, she will b stressed. The male will look after the nest until the fry are free swimming (best to remove him about then). only feed them after the eggsacs are gone, or they will not eat it and water quality will suffer. move into a grow out tank when ready. weirdartist 2009-05-21 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=breeding-beta-fish-amp-molly-#3 more info/details http://www.fishtankforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=342 weirdartist 2009-05-22
