[Why spacing is vital for ur Bettas]

For grow-up Tank:
[More space]--->[less crowded]--->[Less fighting for food]--->[Bettas hepy]--->
[More bettas grow with same rate]=[Less small size Bettas]

For Mating Tank:
[More space]--->[More space female to run]--->[less injuries and not die]--->
[Save cost]--->[spawning process might take a very long time]

Tht why for mating tank the size must be not too small and not too big,must be moderate in size the ideal size that i used to spawn by bettas is eiter the platic tank (Rm 12.00) or 1.5 feet glass tank .this two Tank size are suitable for normal size bettas .

-there's a sifu once told me that the most ideal water height for spawning tank is 1/4 of the tank height.(estimate around 8.5cm)

-If the water level is too low it will be easy for the water to get cloud or pollute over time despite it easy for the fries to see the food in the tank.

-If the water level is too high it will be less advantange as fries might not realised that there are food in the tank even if the water take more time to get cloud and pollute.
