As an ornamental fish that likes to fight, has an attractive appearance that has a relatively long fins with a good color spectrum, while the female betta fish looks less attractive, because it was not long fins and bright colors that were not on betta fish, male gender higher compared with female gender. With the required effort is essentially reproduce male Betta fish production, which can be done en masse.

Spawning and Production Engineering

In the mature male parental gonadal fins brighter colors on the mother's belly and in a transparent, egg expenditure on the channel can be seen.

In principle be done in pairs breeding in each separate container (aquarium, bucket or in boxes that are placed inside the tub). Before mixed dams included in the bottle so as not to disturb nesting males in the foam. Nest is made by taking an air bubble from the surface and release it under the surface of leaves or water plants floating on the surface of water. This process continues for hours with the occasional stop to eat.

When the nest is ready, the mother removed from the bottle, mixed with a male to start spawning. At the time of spawning the male body covered dams forming the letter "U" with the adjacent ventral for + 1 minute until the issue is immediately fertilized egg sperm. Eggs slowly sinking and will soon be taken by the father with his mouth for the next set disarang foam. Spawning process lasted for 1 hour + with 20-25 same spawning stage. When the spawning activity ended, the mother moved from the spawning to be returned to the maintenance of the parent, but should first be included in the solution metyline blue 2 mg / liter for 24 hours to treat wounds that may exist after spawning. Male parent was fixed on the container breeding to feeding and caring for the eggs until they hatch. In every time of spawning as many as 1000-1500 eggs obtained grains. Larvae and subsequent maintenance and enlargement pendederan can be done on a container wall with the feed tub of worms Tubifex sp. or Chironomus sp. to ready for the market.
Technique reproduce Male Betta Fish

Male betta fish has brighter color and fins are longer than the female betta fish. Therefore, the male betta fish is more interested in consumer and commercial value is higher than the females. In connection with the techniques necessary to increase the production of a male betta fish in each spawning. One effort that can be done is by giving the hormone androgen during sexual differentiation.

Hormone administration technique is a way betta fish eggs meremdam phase eye spots (+ 30 hours after spawning) to a solution of 17 Alpha metiltestosteron hormone concentrations 20 mg / liter of water for 8 hours. Making the hormone solution is by dissolving the hormone as much as 20 mg to 1 ml of 70% alcohol and then entered keair that will be used to soak as much as 1 liter.

Soaking the eggs tucked back into the container of water with blue metyline given solution to prevent the fungus in the process of hatching. The next stage seeding procedure similar to betta fish until age three months to be able to distinguish gender. It is expected that by giving a steroid hormone that can increase the male betta fish up to 95% in each spawning.
