Answer #1

Hi,

Bettas don’t really get fat and pregnant like you think.

They end up with the eggs in the little air bubble nest the males make at the top of the water. Unless you have timed everything just right and introduced a male and female and now see tiny flecks in the air bubble nest, there are no babies.

If the condition for the female to lay eggs is good, the white tube on her belly will pop out and some get stripes. this means she is full with eggs.

Answer #2

My betta fish is pregnant at the bottom of the fish tank…I have no idea if it’s pregnant and I think it’s a boy…it made bubbles at the top but yet has a rather large stomach? Does it have Dropsy?

HELP!

Answer #3

I kinda had the same prob with my fish I have a male and a female they do not share the same tank and get cleaned one at a time. I was told it is poss for the female to get prregnant and not be in the same tank but still share the same water when being cleaned. and right now my daughter and I are keepin track of her and him. maybe this will help maybe not
