The auction has either ended or been pulled. ;) That is a Betta rubra, a living fossil as the seller puts it. This type of wild betta species haven't been for a long while and thought to be extinct. That's why the price is so high. It's definately worth the money for the very experienced...

Any type of metallic female would work for the Turquoise male. Metallic colors would be like: Steel Blue, Royal Blue, Turquoise, Copper, and Teal.

I have an MF pair of Albino BN Plecos and they are fine with salt at a concentration of 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons of water. Plecos can actually tolerate salt unlike the common belief. But whatever you believe in, go for it. Salt is just there to kill any bacteria or infection.

Oh. Okay gotcha :) You don't need to add anything to the water at all. More constant water changes with a tad bit of aquarium salt will heal it up.

He is a crowntail. The tail isn't nipped at all. Those are extended rays.

I know this is a stupid question but I've been curious. Do female Dwarf Gouramis have ovipostors like female Bettas?

It depends, but I've kept my Dwarf Gouramis with Angelfish in a 29g with no problems. One thing I would worry about is if you have multiples of angelfish. As they pair off and start breeding, you will encounter an increase in aggression.

Hi. I definately agree with the post above about the Dwarf Gourami illness issue. Fortunately, the specimens I acquired were QTed and disease-free. I have my M/F pair of Dwarf Gouramis in a 37g with 5 females bettas no problem whatsoever. There may be problems with smaller tanks because of...

What kind of pleco do you have? I have a MF pair of BN plecos in my 37g. They never bothered any of my red broad leaf ludwigia, hornwort, anacharis, or vals... just my crypts.

My dwarves love cucumber as well. I usually drop a few pieces in for my BN plecos and they immediately zoom down and claim whichever they wanted.

Buy, grow, then sell. It's a cycle heh.

The copper female is smaller than him quite a bit while the copper marble is around his size. Haven't gotten the Black Marble yet so I can't comment on her size. Maybe I should dub him a pimp and breed him with all of them! LOL. The copper HMPKF has experience though. The Copper Fighter fry...

Ne-Yo - Because of You

So I'm about to move my Copper Fighter fry into the growout... that means the spawn tank is open once again :shifty: That's an old picture of my boy. He's grown alot and his span is much bigger now. Anyway, I'm looking forward to breed my Black w/ Blue Irids PKM(4 ray) to one of the...

I went by to my lfs last week and checked out the stock of femmies. It was a shocker! There are at LEAST 30 cups of females there and of which at LEAST 20 were covered in fungus, had columnaris, ich, rotting fins and face, or dead. It was very terrible. Once I saw that I wanted to leave...

Thanks for the tips. I'll split them up right now. :) And I know what you mean by that. Heh, bettas are worst, sometimes you want them to spawn... nothing. Second time they finally spawn... stupid boy eats the eggs... :X Wow! I really like this one! I guess if I can finally get them to...

Yup IAL is Indian Almond Leaf. I only floated a few in the corner for him to bubblenest under the previous time and whatever leached out just added to the effect. Not much pH fluctuations though. The tank was at 80F yep. Bare bottom, sponge filter in the corner, heater on the back wall, a...

Oh I see. :) No wonder there's never any gold/silver males. I've tried breeding my DGs once a few months ago but it failed. The female wouldn't go to the nest with him. I will try again. Perhaps a stronger concentration of IAL would help? Any tips Sylvia? I am not intending to give up on...

Thanks Elise :) :nod: I was talking about the pic I posted yep. blue_betta, she would be a plakat and a very nice one too! :) I've never seen a cambodian female PK. kairi, yours is a super delta(SD). I had one similar to her with the same masking too.

She's definately a Veiltail, not one bit close to a delta or a poor example of one. A delta would not have such a small span even if it's a "lesser quality" type.

Not entirely true. One of mine had 4 rays.

Is there any background about Dwarf Gourami(Colisa lalia) genetics? By genetics, I mean if any specific crosses will produce any specific colors or finnage. I have only seen Blue and Red males in my life and only Gold/Silver tinted females. I'm very curious to why gouramis only limit to those...

Thanks for the quote. I've actually talked with a breeder friend of mine who also breeds CTPKs so I do trust what he says above all others. :good:

Yeah, I read that many die of stress caused diseases, but I believe she was already sick while at the store. Once my friend comes by to pick up 2 of my 10gs, I'll move my betta fry in the 29g and set up the 10g as a spawn tank. Both are being conditioned with blackworms ATM so she's getting...

Actually, he's begin to get some crowning and already has 2 ray(the father was a traditional plakat) and even if he doesn't get much crowning, it wouldn't matter. PK x CT would give me combtails from the start. Crossing them will make the crowning to appear again :) I'm aiming for CTPKs not...

My Dwarf Gourami male LOVES hornwort! I got some thick bushes in the 37g and he is constantly building bubblenests. If you want some big bushes, PM me. I have some for sale. :)

These two are my keepers from F1 of CT x PK spawn. My goal is to create my own line of Black/White/Blue Marble CTPKs. Probably be able to achieve it by F3. Atticus Penelope

Thanks! Well, one of the females have passed away... I'm not sure why. She was fine the day before and in the morning, she was stuck to the intake with the second female nipping on dead fins. BUT, the second is now cleared of illness, disease and whatnot and out of the QT tank. She's...

Hi again! I finally found some females and boy were they gorgeous. I was about to get them online but shipping was a killer so I decided not to. Then I found some at a LFS. I'm QTing right now and conditioning them with live foods and high protein stuff at the same time. If they make it...

Thanks! Haha don't worry about it. I'm not those type of people who would buy a pair, stick them together, hope they would breed, and if they die then I'll go replace them. No way. ;) As of now, he in my 37g planted tank with some female Betta splendens, a Mikrogeophagus ramirezi, a pair...

I would like to try to get my hands on in trying to breed Dwarf Gouramis. But is that a wise decision? I read it's not different from how Betta splendens spawn and I have already spawned Betta splendens a few times which gave me nice viable fry and adults. By the way, here's a picture of the...

Hi all! I just bought a Dwarf Gourami today. From what I can tell, it's a male since the colors are so vibrant. I've read that you can keep them in as little as a 2g and that the minimum is a 10g from many different sources. So, can some one fill me in on the proper tank size for this...
