can indian almond leaves encourage betta breeding?

I got CT male, he's around 8-9 months old but no bubble nest yet. My VT tail male, he started making bubble nest at 6 months. Same setup for all bettas, but some make bubbles, some don't.

Do betta fish need lights during breeding

Re: breeding a 7-month-old male with a 1.5-year-old female


I'd like to build on what's already been discussed. Providing your betta with a varied diet is essential - I recommend feeding them 3-4 times a day, using a mix of frozen and live foods, just make sure to defrost the frozen ones first. Maintaining the ideal water temperature is also crucial, so ...

@coltin and ryan
I just saw them and my male's fins are damaged but the female looks fine. Can betta females damage males? I was monitoring them for 2 hours earlier and she was just approaching him, not aggressive or anything.
