Project Title: Breeding Betta

Problem Question:
What is the optimum temperature for the Siamese (Betta) fish to mate and breed?

Hypothesis:
The optimum temperature for the Siamese (Betta) fishes to breed the best is when
it is kept in a tank of 27 degree celcius.

Apparatus and Materials Needed:
1) At least two or more tanks of the same size
2) Fish food – for the meals for Betta fishes
3) Water in the tank, of same volume but at different temperatures
4) Betta Fishes
5) Thermometer- to monitor the temperature of the water in the tanks
6) … used for keeping the water at a certain temperature

Experimental Procedure Setup:
Firstly, we will have to get the Siamese fishes, a few pairs of female and male. We would also have to purchase special kind of fish tanks that Siamese fish likes to live in and the kind of food it eats.
Secondly, set the water temperature to a certain degree celcius, leave it at that temperature.
Thirdly, place a pair of Siamese fish into each tank (Beware, must let the fishes get used to the water first, cannot just place it in the water, it might kill the fishes).
Next, monitor the fishes, wait until it breeds. Remember to record down all observations seen every day.

Independent Variable: Water temperature
Dependent Variable: When the fish breed
Controlled Variables (Constants):
Amount of water in the tanks
Temperature of each different tanks to be kept the same throughout the whole experiment
Amount of food given to the fishes must be equal


THIS is just a draft, wanna give me some feedbacks, or do you want me to redo. I thought of another one, totally different one. It is about how the colour of the tails of the male would attract the female attention and then mating... then breeding. dont know which one is better, but if you have sth better tell me la, before friday pls, then i can redo. Pls give me your comments.... It's very valuable......
