Thai fighting fish generally grow for about 3 months, even if they are adults, they can reproduce when their body length reaches 4 centimeters. Chinese bettas generally take 4-5 months to reach adulthood, and their body length needs to reach about 5 centimeters before they can reproduce. As long as the betta can reproduce, it means that it has reached adulthood. However, breeders had better not choose adult bettas for breeding, because their sexual function is not mature at this time, it is better to choose bettas about 6 months old for breeding.
How old are bettas considered adults and how often do they reproduce?

1. How old is

a betta? If you want to know whether a betta is an adult, you can judge it by time and size. But different breeds reach maturity at different times and in different sizes. The adult time of Thai betta is relatively short, only about 3 months. The adult time of Chinese betta is longer, about 4-5 months.

Because the environment and food are different, the time of their adulthood will also be different. Breeders can also judge whether they are adults or not according to their size. Like the Thai fighting fish, when the body length reaches 4 centimeters, it can be regarded as an adult, but the Chinese fighting fish needs to reach about 5 centimeters before it can be regarded as an adult.

2. How often do bettas reproduce

? Bettas can reproduce again about 10 days after production, but frequent production can easily cause harm to the body of bettas and affect their life span. Breeders can breed bettas every 2-3 months, preferably no more than 4 times a year. This frequency of reproduction allows the betta fish enough time to recover, and the offspring will be healthier. After breeding, betta fish need to fish out the female fish and let the male fish guard the eggs. After the eggs have hatched, the males should also be fished out. After about 20 days, you can feed the small fish like a parent fish.
