nope, not quite meaningless... otheres on here will understand what i mean.. oh and "so called ammonia" exists.. just coz you cant see it, dont mean it dont exist.. if it builds up in high levels, you can smell it, it smeels vaugely eggy. but if it got to that point in your hex.. id imagine...

same rules apply realy

HMCT ;)

lol sounds a mouthfull, but il be working on two strains with the hope of eventualy combining them to produce a marble, Black Orchid, Half Sun, PlaKat. what do folk rekon?

what will you do with green water? its no use for feeding betta fry. nope.. no harm..

*sniff sniff* i think i smell a whole load of ammonia too....

hmm the pics are too blurry to tell much. the tail would defo say pk to me.. but wether its a male of female i dont know. show a mirror and see how it reacts, and how big its "flare face" is if flares

not having a go.. but i asked you before you spawned if you had everything in place and ready for your fry.. and you said yes.. from this thread it seem you dont. you have a micro worm culture on the way? it takes a bout a week for it to grow suficiantly to harvest it. but never mind eh...

*sniff sniff* do i smell "betta_l0ver".....

looks just like my first pk male!!

theres one in the FAQ pinned topic, not read it so much myself, so dont know if it will help.

the second pic, the one of the "girl" hidding in the plants.... i think thats a pk boy....

aw hes lovely! i like these wild type pks that are apearing in pet shops alot..except they usualy end up being sold as females. he looks like my latest betta boy i got e few days ago

you can keep one male and several females together, but its riskey, and in all likelyhood you will end up loosing the male. if they did attempt to breed, it would be unlikely to be succesful, the male would kill the females and the fry would likely be all eaten. if you had a huge tank, long and...

umm i think your blue is a double tail.. its sitll a VT but its a mis shapen double tail :good:

cool, might give that a try

i had the opertunity to get a stunning black-purple marbled VT, he was a big stocky and virile fish, and it was between him and a caramel boy with a green wash thru his somewhat taty fins(i somehow convinced myself the taty fins ment he was a CT). he died within a few days of a columaris...

those look the same deviders i use.. and the males sure can see each other, unless youve painted them or something

two spawns in the same tank? is that wise? the males will be too busst flaring one another to mate properly or look after the eggs and young surely?

they sure do love the IAL... i put some in my tanks for the first time yesterday, and my black VT, who has never built a bubblenest bigger than a 10p has built a huge nest unterneath his

man id love a HMPK.. lol, well, working on my own line now so soon...*waits patiently*

now that is a stunning VT :drool:

were you aware he has finrot?

this is a very useful thread. i think a slighlty clearer pic of a VT girl is in order tho :good: heres a couple of my VT girls from days gone by :lol: ignore the black cricle

yes they are vertical bars

as it stands at the moment, VT betta are not recoginses as a quality or standerdised tail type by fish clubs, and as a result there is no serious demand for VT betta. Due to this low demand and non-serious aproach to them from comercial breeders, thousands live out patetic short lives, maltrated...
