is breeding as easy as buying a male and female and putting them together in my 150 gallon tank?

no it very complicated you breed the in a ten gallon tank with the female seperated at first let the male build a bubble nest release the female and see if they breed and then remove the female after spawning and let the male take care of the eggs and untill the eggs hatch and the fry are free swimming . if your thinking that wouldnt be that hard well it took me 2-3 years to get a successful breed and now ive have 4 batches of babys but most but like 3-4 died in one batch and then i have about 21 older from my first 2 breeds and about 50 from a breed last week

Just curious Anime...

Have you had to start sorting the males out yet?

Where are you going to put all the babies? I'm just curious, I've seen some really neat rack systems out there, but wondered what your thoughts were...

well im starting to seperate the more agresive ones which just happen to be the biggest but there all getting nippy and the smallest one has barely any fins!!! and this started a few days ago. im giving away some of the babys next week at a local fish club meeting too so it will bring me down to probilley 5 babys. im also selling lot of my adults and some model horses to invest in a nice pair of bettas. but im thinking im going to have to put them in cups and clean them a lot...

Well thats why im currently trying to setup a ten gallon tank. but I don't have the hardware for if for example i used one of my big tank filters and its 300 gallons an hour
I think thats a little too much for a 10 gallon tank but im working on it
