hi, i have heard of spade tail bettas but never actually seen one. i have sesrched quite a bit on google for one for sale and cant fing any. does this make them rare? if so where could i get one? does anyone have anyinfo on spade tail bettas that they wouldnt mind sharing. here is a pic i found...

thanks, he seems to be getting them still and not eating them. would it be possible to feed them some micro worms with the dad still in there?

my nest of eggs hatched today but i feel sorry for my poor male looking after them. they keep wriggling down and they poor thing has spent pretty much all day going up and down and putting them back in the nest. he is going to get VIP treatment when he is done. also a quick question, will the...

what would happen if i was to breed it with a VT? because i only really have veiltails and crowntails and i wanted this one to make a difference and get something out of the ordiary!! but i am not sure i i will get him yet if you wontbe able to breed with crowntails or veiltails. thnkas...

hi, would a feathertail halfmoon bluey-black and red finned betta be classed as rare?? also what would happen if it was bred with a crowntail or a veiltail? the parents are both rosetails. mum is red and blue and dad is red. plus would 20pound be a good price? thanks englishbettas

hi just a quick question, me and my mum were looking at a betta fry growth website at four weeks old and it says that they should be 0.45 inches, when ours are around the size of what a 2 week old fry should look like. the fry are approx four weeks old. they are being fed on microworms but me...

the first lot are still quite small but they look smaller to us because of the size of the tank they are in (23L) and are approx 5mm. i don't have any pics of the first lot yet as they are hard to take as are pretty much invisible lol! thanks englishbettas

they are not gona be hard to shift as i have pretty much sold a load to friends already and i believe i said before there is a fish shop nearby that will take them in exchange for food. also in another post i think called 'i was wrong' i mentioned that something had already gone wrong with the...

pics? please especially on the dividers?

yup lol i am excited partly because i have experience form my first lot who are 1 month old this weekend- happy birthday fry!! :fun: i will post some pics of the parents when i get my mum to take some and i will also add ones of huge bubble nests some of my couples have made!!!!!!! thanks for...

so what exactly do you want pics of?? :blink: but if you say i can try to get some and yup i am kinda excited to have the jars everywhere. we are currently in the process of raising my other fry and this will be my second. i think the parents are veil tails and i know they aint very popular but...

hi, i was looking at my couples bubble nest just now and thought something looked different, i didn't think that they had bred yet has they didn't seem to have and it looked like the female still had eggs in her. the only difference was in their behavior as the male kept chasing her away. i...

finally, someone nice!! :good: and i have tried that before and it just made them stressed and they kept jumping out so i gave up, plus i find that by just putting the two together you get them to like each other and they dont fight as much, but thanks for the advice anyway!!

see so far there have been quite a few replies but only a few answers!! and guess who wins the award for sarcasm- its big_eyes!!!!! seriously though i removed her and just o let you know i do the breeding differently and not exactly by the internet!!

omg i said i had done a lot and i also said specifically in the question and to only reply if u had an answer and clearly that aint an answer! :grr: and the one thing that annoys me is i cant post on here now without getting sarcastic or sly replies and ending up with no answer!!!!!!!!! :angry:

i have put a male and female betta together after conditioning them. dont tell me off i know what i am doing i just want to ask a quick question that i would like answered. i put her in his tank and he flared at her for a bit and she showed no interest just swam away. the tank is at the right...

look you dont need to be sarcastic about ti and yes i do know what temp they are meant to be at but as i said the heater B R O K E!!!!!! i am waiting for a new one to arrive but i cant speed up post can i. thank you to all those people who were nice and i did look on google about the swelling...

actually before i post a topic on here i always see if i can research the answer somewhere else first and if i cant then i post on here. i don't take everything to heart! and from my point of view i don't see how i am contradicting my self in the first place!! please don't comment on my posts if...

i have researched BREEDING them! but anyway thanks for the advice i think i may have overfed them. it is the first time i have used bloodworms so you know. the reason i havnt got a heater on at the moment is because it broke this morning and i havnt been able to get a new one yet. do you have...

hi, you could have a male betta(siamese fighter) aswell. harlequins and platys would be fine as my mum keeps those together. i dont have a test kit and my fish are fine. as long as you ave good filtration and it is at the right heat then you should be fine. also make sure you do water changes...

hi, my betta is a blue male and in the last few hours he has recently gotten a really swollen belly. i am not too sure on the water stats. he is still eating but not really swimming about much. the tank is a 15L with a filter and the temp is currently at about 63F. please help i don't want him...

i definitely did not take that the wrong way, that is amazing advice. in fact you have made me feel a lot better about the loss of so many fry. as for the part on not selling them, i didnt intend to make a huge profit from the first lot and me and my mum both agree that veiltails are all...

thank you every one and at the moment i am feeding them tiny crushed flake food and this gel daphnia food stuff. i am going to order a micro worm culture as well. the sponge filter is on it way and i will be maintaining cleanliness. i will be doing water changes also. i have about 5-6 fry left...

hi, just a quick question, does anyone know what bettas are in demand at the moment, such as is it crown tails or double tails etc. also what colors are aswell. any info would be helpful but please no mean comments. :)

my betta does this aswell. he feeds of my fingers, and sometimes he wraps himself around my fingers. it is ace. i love my bettas. :) englishbettas

thanks for all the help and i will be doing water changes. i did cup them to move them. thanks, englishbettas :look: :nod:

thats a bit harsh dont you think and i am doing water changes and the filter will be coming soon. and for you information i did research a hell of a lot!!!!

this is related to another post where i asked about my bettas being for sale and everyone argued against me. well yes i admit it i was wrong sort of because there must have been a bacterial infection in the water or something because out of around 100 i now only have about 5 or so. i feel so...

Betta breeder

actually ii did put it in the for sale section but somehow it changed it and everytime i try to change it and it wont let me!!! and besides i dont think the fish are for sale anymore!

why not? are you watching me cuz u seem to reply to everypost i put on.!

i have recently bought a tank and it came with the penn plax air tech filter thing and a filter refill but i am not sure how to use it. it came with the air pump thing and some other parts. i would like it if you could post some pictures of it in use or a description of how to assemble it...

id like to thank all the people who were nice and have given me some useful advice. i will definately consider getting a fancier pair. and i will post pics of the ones that are good looking. thanks englishbattas

i guess i could ship them for an extra charge but at the moment they are only fry and i wont be able to sell them for at least 6 weeks but if you would be willing to pay i would consider shipping.

wouldnt you be able to go out any buy a few from your local fish shop cuz once you have one they breed like wild fire!!! lol hope you find some soon!!

ok, that confused me and i am not saying that they are worth nothing as i think they are beautiful creatures and me myself prefer them to the rarer breeds! but that still doesnt answer my question of is anyone interested in my bettas, if not the you shouldnt be on this post!!!!!!!!!!!!1

it doesnt really matter the dad is a blue veiltail and the female is a red and black veiltail. would you be interested? and i think they do now anyway!! lol

you know what's funny, the question was 'is anyone interested in buying my bettas?' and somehow it has ended up in me being greatly insulted and to be honest no one has really answered the question! none of your comments i am going to listen to and i plan on doing what i want thank you!! if you...
