Book excerpt: Breeding betta fish really begins when both fish have been introduced to the breeding tank. This is when the male and female will get to know each other, even though they can't yet interact, and will begin to display that they're ready for mating. Once the male betta fish takes notice of the female, he will begin to flare his fins at her, dancing around her in order to attract her attention. His colors will also deepen and become more vivid. The changes in the female betta will be even more noticeable. Her colors will also deepen, and dark stripes will appear on her body. These stripes should be vertical. If they're horizontal, the female is not ready to breed. A small white tube behind the female's ventral fin will also become noticeable. This is the ovipositor, and it is where the eggs will come from. These changes are a key signal that she is ready to breed.
