I bought three of the little guys-- they're not sexed. They're wild caught from Isan. I got them, and have since (finally) received my pair of B. Channoides that I didn't think were going to be replaced (DOA in the first shipment). So, now these guys need new homes. Inside the States only...

Plus, although some people may breed FTxFT, they may be very careful about watching the fry and euth. any who have problems swimming-- FTs have become something that many people want for some reason. I, personally, will stick to a nicely branched HM. My latest spawn may develop some of these...

I wouldn't go with a pleco as it'll outgrow that 6 gal in no time. I think you could get along with 3 little rasboras and a few dwarf cories... or you could go with just the betta and about 4 dwarf cories. He will be perfectly happy with that much space to himself. :good:

I have one, but am in the states...good luck with your search.

I'm not in miami, but I have some.

FYI, a pea isn't a treat...it actually works to relieve constipation the same way a laxative would work on humans... I feed my fish 2x a day. 3-4 if I'm conditioning them. They need a varied diet, so if you get the pellets, make sure you supplement him with some frozen bloodworms/brine...

They're doing okay. This was a very small spawn, which is understandable since the male didn't seem to know what to do the last two times I tried him...so...at least he got it a little bit this time. I'm going to clean the tank a bit tonight. Maybe I'll have some pictures. They still just...

How many do you think you have? I'm so excited for you! I know they're 3 months, but I thought they were still too small to breed. Hope they all come out okay!

You can likely expect a lot of VT multicolors without any specific patterns, more so just washes of different colors. Not very appealing in the world of betta sales. Bettas can have hundreds of fry. It's a lot of work, and not something to rush into. Make sure you do your research, and have...

Super! :good:

3g should be just fine for your bettas, whether juvi or adult.

Furan contains nitrofurazone. It is a very good fix for most illnesses...especially hex. Linda Olsen treats all her fish with it in cycles and has noticed a drastically lower death rate among them due to illness. I don't find it to be harsh on the fish at all. In fact, they don't act any...

^^ Was thinking the same thing. The circled one looks very much like a PK male, IMO.

I use bare bottom tanks as well, and put some live plants in to float about. My fish are just peachy.

Anal isn't pk-ish...it's more like a trapezoidal shape than a square. I agree still though-- delta.

It's hard to tell. Most LFS bought bettas are usually around 6 months at least when you get them. Size isn't the best way to tell, as her growth could've been permanently stunted as a fry or she could have a genetic make-up to create a smaller fish. I'd just take the sponges out of the cycled...

I only use melafix, quick cure, and nitrofurazone.

Nice fins on the top girl. The two stingray filters seem a bit much. I have one in a 7 gal tank and it creates a pretty strong current for a betta. Can't imagine what two would be like... Second girl is a cute little thing, but def. not CT. Looks VT or PK. I'm thinking PK, but can't really...

Def. VT...could have some CT somewhere in it's background.

Looks like she could just be a single tail female from a HM or (Super) Delta spawn. Do you know what she had for parents? Doesn't look VT to me. I'd say delta. She has a nice dorsal...likely recessive for the DT trait.

:hyper: :hyper: :drool: :drool: :drool: :hyper: :hyper: If I'm lucky, he'll be coming home with meeeeee!!! **UPDATE-- He's MINE!!! :D

You could possibly have some luck with shrimp with them. As someone's already said- it's a chance. They're still young now, so still small and may not mess with them and just grow with them and leave them be. There's no definite though.

Sorry to say, since I bred them...but...Ooooh, what pretty babies! Great shots too! Glad they're working out for you so well.

Well, you guys, sexing these fish is so hard! One day I have something that looks clearly female, and the next day it's flaring at it's neighbor with a full beard showing. Geesh! I think I may only take the ones that I am 100% certain about the sexes on tomorrow. Think that's a better idea...

I'm going for $10 for the males and 7-8 for the females, plus priority shipping. If you're interested, I need you to PM me today as I'm taking them to the auction tomorrow morning at 8 CST.

Yeah- a couple other little RT guys showed themselves today. I had to stare really hard though b/c they have clear beards...but beards nonetheless!

Here are some pictures...these aren't all, but enough. Fry at nearly 3 months. Please respond ASAP if you're interested. They'll be at the auction Saturday if not.

Fixed it. :good:

New pictures! Too many to post here, so please view the album! Fry (Nearly 3 months)

OMG. I didn't even realize how dated this post was. Sorry!!

I did. I planned to take pictures last night, but ended up with a dead battery that had to be charged first. I'll try and get some shots for you today.

Hi all! I have a spawn of HMs that are almost 3 months old. They're still growing, but are ready for new homes. I'm taking them to the CAFE auction this Saturday (if you're in the midwest area, and want more info, pm me.)- but want to offer them here first before I sell them all. PM me if...

Me too...too many of you guys are over the pond. If you were here, I'm sure I'd have no problem finding new homes!

I'm going to add more pictures tonight, but I think I'm actually going to sell the melano boy...just because if I keep every fish I like from a spawn...well...you know what would happen!

edited...the auction is actually Saturday (boy, do I have trouble with keeping my dates straight!)...so I need to know asap. I'll be taking pictures tonight for those who've PM'd me. I'll post them in my spawn log as well. TY! Spawn Log

Impressive nest. Keep us updated. :good:

Netty, how old are they now...and if you don't mind-- how big (length wise head to tail...)? Just want to compare since my spawn's growing, and I don't know if they're at a normal rate! TY!
