I’ll be honest, I had a period of about 12 months where any pair I tried putting together refused to breed, no matter what tips and tricks I tried. It almost made me give up bettas altogether. Then, out of the blue, everything went right and I was doing nothing different.
Sorry to hear you lost your fry. Unfortunately there was nothing you could have done. The main thing is you are safe.
I mainly use frozen blood-worms when conditioning. I have perhaps one failed spawn out of every three attempts. I mainly breed during the warmer months these days, as I have a better success rate and less can go wrong if heaters fail.
I hope you keep trying. One thing I didn’t ask…do you card your pairs when conditioning?
