Don't buy your Bettas at a pet store
There are numerous reasons for not doing so. First of all the Pet store Bettas are usually not healthy enough and might even carry diseases. They are also to old because the regular shopper wants bigger fish and they are the old ones. Pet stores usually only have vail tale Bettas and those you don't want.

First you have to make that your Betta fishes are at least 5 months old and that they are fully acclimated to their tanks. Remember that proper Betta fish care can safe you a lot of trouble. You have to put the male in one tank and female in another very close to so that they can get used to one another before your bring them together to mate. You male Betta fish will tell you when he is ready mate as he will make a bubble nest at the top of his tank where he will eventually place the eggs. The female can also give signs by developing colorful stripes.

After you have put them together the female will release her eggs, she can release hundreds of eggs and some have even been know to release close to a thousand. When she is done she will hide and the male will take over and take care of the young. At this time it is best to take the female out of thank as the male might fight her.

Be sure to pay close attention to the tank and as soon as the fish have hatched and are swimming you have to take the male out of the tank since he might start eating the young. You will not be changing the water in this tank twice a week as usual but instead you will give the young fish about two weeks before you change. Due to this you have to be careful not to overfeed the the fish as the tank might then become cloudy.

After those first two weeks as you begin to change the water you should also start separating the young Betta fish into other tanks and decide if you want to sell them, give them or keep them.
