A Handful of Aquarium Salt *Optional
An Aquarium HEATER -to Keep the Temp. @ 80 Degrees - Preferably Fully Submergible
Some Kind of Castle or Cave for the Female to hide in
A Bunch of Fake or Real PLANTS For the Female to Hide in (Sometimes the Males like to also)
THE BUBBLENEST & FRY!
An Aquarium Pump (one that pump 1 or 2 Bubbles out at a Time (I use a Valve on mine) ) And an Airstone
MELAFIX Or Medication for Torn Fins
You have to Have Some Kind of Covering for the Tank
Black Water Expert - *Optional
For Best Results and So YOU & The FISH Can see- Use Some Kind of Lighting
A StyroFoam or Plastic ( I Use Plastic) Cup That You can Cut in Half Longways to Help the BubbleNest

Each Betta that you are planning to Breed Should Be Well Conditioned. Which is Fed Real Good - 2 to 3 Times a Day and Preferably Live Foods or Freeze dried Foods that are High Nutrious. Feed Well A Variety of Foods for 1 to 3 Weeks. Keep Water Clean!
WELL CONDITIONED?
This is a Liquid that you Can Buy that Helps Turn the Water Blackish/Yellow and Helps to Put the Bettas "In the Mood" and Feel More Comfortable. I've Only Used it Once So Far but I Plan To Use It More..I've Heard it Helps the Bettas Spawn in 1 or 2 Days..
