ok, so for the past THREE DAYS medusa and thor have been together. she finally got the hang of putting her head down and waiting for thor to 'caress her body' but he goes over and hesitates and so she loses her nerve and swims off. shes desperate to be bred. im frightened for her health if she doesnt lose some eggs soon! shes bulging big time! thank goodness neither of them are being vicious to one another. to be honest i think theyre both scared of each other! how do i make them like each other? i need my fry fix!

Blinky, I am really sorry about all your troubles. I can imagine it is terribly frustrating. The thing is, I know next to nothing about breeding betta's. Hopefully someone else can give you some good advice.

I wish you and the fish good luck though, and none of you give up!
