Yes you can get ctpk as far as i know, i think the betta lady has a pair for sale at the moment. If you have a look she has pics of the male and female which may help u to sex the one that you have x

Im so sorry about clifford, thats exactly what bruce did, got up in the morning to find him on the floor, i couldn't put a lid on the tank at the time as i had to make some alterations. It's really upsetting x x

I so wish i lived in the us, there are so many stunning bettas for sale over there!!!! I still love the ones in the uk x x

She's lovely, well done for finding her x

I have 5 sections in mine which is just under 4 foot. My husband measured it all out and put the dividers in for me! They look great once they're all set up, i have each section different and every so often the males are swapped round so they have different scenery. Good luck with yours x

I'm proud to be what everyone terms as obsessed!!! My husband gets so fed up with me and my fish, it's quite funny sometimes x

I'm not sure how many harliquins would be ok to be honest, my tank is slightly bigger than yours but i have 14 females in there so only have 4 harlequins. I would probably go for 5 females and 8 harlequins, however most rasboras should be ok as they are quite a peaceful species. TBH it's down to...

They're doing much better now, thanks emelee x

If you want other fish in the tank your better off going with the females, although tetras aren't the best choice, i have copper harliquins in my female tank. If you wanted a male then they should really be kept alone to avoid stress or damage to the fish. You could look into dividing the...

Im glad they're gonna take them back off you, i'd had mine so long before they started to fight that i didn't bother trying to take them back, just rehomed one and kept the other. I must say though my local maidenhead are pretty good, they have agreed to take any fish from me and if i see a nice...

How lucky is this, i moved the fry to a slightly smaller tank the other day as they were stuggling in the spawning tank. I had to put the heater from the spawning tank into the fry tank as i didn't have a spare. So for a few days now the spawning tank has been sat getting colder, anyway today as...

Im so sorry you lost her, she was gorgeous. Ive cried over my fish, especially when i lost shimmer on my birthday!!!! i booed for hours x

Im planning on getting some, but at the moment im using blackwater extract in my tanks x

Emelee your babies are coming on so well, they look amazing. I haven't noticed any colour difference between mine yet, they just vary quite a lot in size! I wouldn't of thought they would be fighting yet so it does sound like either a deformity or maybe the little guy damaged it somehow?? Can't...

Personally i don't think the fish looks very nice at all. I've only just come round to double tails, but that triple tail does look more like a deformity. Anyway each to their own, everyone has different preferences x

You can buy airline clamps which you can adjust, so you control the airflow, or if you can't get one of those i used to just fold the airline over until the flow was right and elastic band the airline in place. Congrats on the lil swimmers, can't wait for some pics of them growing up x

I am so jealous! My husband was gonna let me buy the orange ct off shell but by the time he gave me a definate yes he had been sold, also wanted the dragon pair but they went very quickly as well. Good luck with the pair, i must admit i was eyeing up that female too!! Oh well hopefully i'll get...

As has already been said, the twins do look like boys, i had the same problem as honeythorn only 2 of my 'girls' turned out to be male plakats!! The girls look gorgeous, as for tail types ???? i don't even know what tail types half my girls are!!! x

In my divided boys tank i run a sponge filter in each section. I got a bargain pump off ebay which has 8 outlets x

Thankyou, cooper was a birthday present from my husband, albert has changed quite a bit since i got him, his body was more yellow but has now gone black with a green shine to it. Vinny is doing well, his finrot has gone and his tail is healing nicely x

Keep their water clean and treat with melafix, they should heal no problem at all x

Here's my boys, haven't got any pics of the girls yet as i have so many: Vinny my vt Cornelius the ct Tarquin dt plakat Cooper ct dad to my babies Albert hm

Quick update on the babies, just done a water change. They are getting bigger everyday! Their eyes have changed, they were black with orange but the orange is now turning yellow. Most of them are swimming really well and they are so nosey when i put the clean water back in, a few try and play in...

Mine take turns at being boss, however my red ct has never been far up in the ranks, my most aggresive female is my bi coloured cambodian ct, she's not even the biggest in the tank but she'll warn all the others away from her lol

I have, done a big clear out this morning!!! Took ages trying to avoid sucking up the babies, thank god for clear plastic cups lol

I've been posting on emelees topic about babies and now that ive managed to get some pics of the little buggars i thought i would start my own thread. The dad is cooper who is a copper yellow ct and mum is a cream/purple ct. Anyway here are the babies, they will be 2 weeks old on thursday...

Well although i've been on the forum a while i've never posted pics of my boys so i managed to get some at long last. Here they are: Cooper, daddy of my first spawn Albert Cornelius Tarquin And finally Vinny, he's just recovering from finrot So these are my gorgeous little fellas!!! i...

They are looking great emelee!! I had a count up yesterday after removing some that had died and i'm left with about 20, there are 7 in particular that stand out as they are a lot bigger than the rest. Have also just started them on bbs as well as the walter worms. Although i lost quite a few i...

She looks fantastic now, her colour has come out beautifully

Puffers are great for keeping pest snail numbers down, we had 2 figure of 8's but since we got rid of them the snails took over again. My female bettas have started eating them in their tank but the males don't bother with them at all

He's beautiful x

The tank is looking really good now, i love the pics of oliver flaring x

conrats on the breeding, my babies will be two weeks old on thursday. It's so cool watching them grow, and what beautiful parents your have. Can't wait to see them coloured up x

She's beautiful, reminds me of my girl shimmer who i lost

Aaaaahhhh damn my lfs, couldn't resist another 3 females today lol Bitsy- She's a cambo with a green dorsal but red anal and a mix of both on her tail Gertie- A little bit boring to look at but has a lovely green to her Diamonique- She is a beauty!! White with the most beautiful blue shine!!

Sorry to hear you lost the little guy. I had the same problem, my sister bought me a blue vt called henry from a lfs renound for disease (she didn't know that at the time) and he died if an infection which he had when she got him, he only lasted a week. It's so sad that they let them go like...

Update on the clan, cyan died last week of dropsy and have purchased a double tail plakat which i think is a black mustard gas and have named him tarquin x

At the moment i'm feeding them walter worms twice a day and they get infusoria from the plants in their tank. I have also started doing water changes as the water was looking a bit dirty, so i'm doing about 40% at least every other day at the moment. They are swimming really well now, i've got a...

My husband managed to count 15 swimming before he got fed up cause they were darting about to much. I'd estimate i've got about 30 or so, will try counting again tomorrow lol. I'm gonna try and borrow a better camera so hopefully will have some pics!!!

I've just bought a load of glass sugar containers from wilkinsons ready for my babies, wish i had an auntie who had some, would've of saved a fortune!
