released both orange females to the males this morning and found them wrapping this evening,at the same time funny enough. Must be the rain :whistle: Anyway, first up is the male I spawned last time and I'm pretty sure he's going to fail miserably. I see eggs in the nest and the female is spilling them everywhere but he's just nose under the nest ignoring everything and wagging at her on occassion. Second male is a first timer and he does me proud. Unfortunately his female seems almost out of eggs, while his loser brothers woman has more than she can handle :lol: :rolleyes:

Here's the first pair looking pretty rough

Beats, great pics.


Put the tanks closer together so the bad one can learn how to do it like slick rick. :hey:
 
sounds cool :nod:

any progress??

Thanks for the well wishes guys.

I took both females out this morning. Male #1 came out as well, his nest was a mess and he had a real attitude about him. Second male is doing very well,his nest is beautiful and he's tending it and he seems protective,good. I figure if there are eggs in tank 1,I can transfer them to tank 2 if need be. Or try a fatherless hatch,not sure.

fisher~ :eek: I just found your emails in my junk box!! Darn msn :angry:
 
How exciting! I bet it's a birthday pretty much every day at your house with as many spawns that you have. ;) Congrats on the new arrivals!
 
:eek: That girl is huge! She is so ready I love it :wub: The orange spawn is the greatest most versitile betta, I'm so glad you're continuing that line :) How are they doing today? :thumbs:
 
All right Kelly! Whoo-hoo! I'm glad the first hurdle is over, I know how much trouble you've had with this line spawning. Great pics too.
 
Spank you guys. Now if I can just leave him alone :rolleyes: I'm usually not nosey and I give a male tons of privacy....(sometimes I've even forgotten to check to see if a spawn has hatched!) but I can't control myself with this one. I'm on pins and needles :look:

Bad news about spawn #1, there's nothing. Nada. Zip. Just a few fungusy eggs on the bottom :rolleyes: hmmm,he reminds me of somebody :whistle:

Steph~ she is a chubs,that's for sure. I almost took her out and threw her in with the other male but I didn't want to mess up by making an abrupt move like that. :crazy: What a waste,she was spilling eggs everywhere while the other male couldn't get enough :rolleyes:
 
Well you sure the heck know who to put her with next time! Wowsers. She's all hot to trot and he's shooting blanks. Go figure. :X Do keep us updated on your great dad.

Even famous racehorses sometimes come up duds in the breeding shed. Sounds like your #2 male will be for admiring only. Sounds like your other fella might have a busy winter ahead of him! :hey: :D
 
aaaaand....we have fry :thumbs: I just went and checked,it was really hard to tell at first,then I saw them swirling around under the nest :wub: Papa is doing well. When I peeked at him this morning he was incredibly bloated. I wanted to yank him out but I'm hoping he's so full of bad eggs that he'll save a few for me :)
