How many eggs does a betta lay?

However, the actual number of eggs laid can vary depending on factors like:

* The age and health of the female: Older and healthier females tend to lay more eggs.

* Water conditions: Clean and optimal water conditions can increase egg production.

* Diet: A well-nourished female will lay more eggs.

It's important to remember that not all the eggs will hatch successfully. Many eggs may be infertile or eaten by the male betta who is responsible for guarding the nest and caring for the fry (baby fish).
