He really was.. and I probably wont ever find one like him at my lfs ever again *sighs* but he's in a better place now, and hopefully watching over his buddy sunny who blew a bubble nest for a girl to big for him lol! I was thinking thats what caused them to fall out.. Should I try feeding them...

I never saw eggs fall when they were wrapping. Well the times that I saw anyway. But I kept her in there over night and took her out wednesday morning. It should be soon! We are going on the third day since the spawning or close to it.. (hard to say since I dont know the exact time of the moment...

Omg I dont think I would be able to not cry if I saw my little girl with her tail completely off.. I had to sleep during the spawning process just to handel his nipping because I felt so guilty.. I guess thats just the part of betta breeding everyone has to get use to. Sorry to hear your little...

He is, I just wish he didnt nip so much.. My little girl Crest is missing a quarter of her tail fin now.. I know it'll grow back but I know it had to hurt! I guess it would have been worse though. Good thing I had all thoes plants in there! I wish I could take a few pics for everyone to see...

He is beautiful! Wish I had a betta only store around here.. I would be in heaven! XD

Awsome! Then I can get rid of the stinky green water.. Drake doesnt seem to be tired at all, I'm amazed. I tried feeding him too but nothing is going to distract him from careing for his fry. Such a good daddy :)

So I took the female out yesterday.. Honestly I did not think there were eggs since the bubble nest kept getting smaller and drake wasnt moving much. Just there under the nest stareing out at the plants. But today I watch a little closer to see him careing for a random egg that falls out...

They finally arrived! My little marble man decided to lose his color while being shipped but its slowly coming back. :) This is a bad picture of my little marble girl but she is so tiny! She kind of reminds me of waffle because she is white with black marbling. When i opened the package she...

You know... I blame this thread for me ending up with a marble betta... lol! I saw all the beautiful bettas and ended up getting a marble one myself from a breeder on bettafish.com Was just shipped so I should recieve him and a lovely girl either tomorrow or friday. But here is the pic I was...

He started out pretty gentle to her.. but I think his paticents is wearing off since as the time goes by the more nips I see on her. Although I was surprised to see his fin a little torn.. barley.. but still was surprising lol I started going crazy over marbles when I saw the thread on here...

I ended up breeding drake my hmpk with one of my dark blue girls. She is a VT but I'm not expecting a very large spawn. Even if it was though I know a couple lfs that take really good care of the bettas they sell if no one else wanted them. Then I plan to have one of the girls from that spawn...

Well it's hard to say what their age is since I got them both from petsmart. But shes plumped up pretty well so I know theres at least some eggs in there :) I just dont want them to practice so much that they lose interest... that would be bad :(

Ok, sorry I'm sounding like a noob when it comes to breeding bettas.. Last time I did this was a few years ago (back in middle school) and I had no idea what I was doing. The only thing I remember from then was seeing the male picking the eggs off the ground. Well today I'm attempting it again...

I wont lie, I got a head ache trying to understand that lol but I think I got it.. but does that go with the other tail types too? How do you know which is more dominate? Like.. right now im hoping to get a female delta.. which would be more dominate? the delta? or the pk? O_o although that...

He's beautiful! Cant wait to see what your girl for him looks like :)

I see.. Well I guess it's ok then that he decided to stop making a bubble nest while I was sleeping. I never actually planned to breed them, but if they had an attraction for eachother who am i to stop them? My halfmoon is attracted to my bigger VT and I gave him a shot. The girl is ready has...

Ok so earlier this week I posted about getting my new boy Drake(Pk). Well another thing I figured out is he had a thing for one of my blue VT girls. So I figured why not give it a shot, since I dont really have goals for me first time in years since breeding.. But now some people are telling...

I've actually been thinking about getting betta barracks myself.. But my lfs does not sell them so I'd have to get them online... how much do they usually cost anyway? I'm going to need them if I keep this up! lol

It really is! Even now I am talking to a breeder about getting at least 1 male marble and 2 female mable bettas from her........ I am going betta crazy! Although.. they are marbles.... how can anyone turn them down? XD

You should get a betta then! They are so much fun :) Just be careful, once your hooked onto bettas... you become like me that can never stop getting them.. you just want more.. and more.. and more.. and more O_o

Isnt he! I wish I wasnt having such a hard time finding a girl for him :( I know with the right girl theyd make some beaitufl fry! (Drak also looks completely black and green when in the dark)

So I swore to myself I wasnt going to buy any more from my lfs since I am hoping to get a couple marble bettas from a breeder on Bettafish.com But for some reason my gut told me to go today.... Turn's out they had all there bettas marked down to half price and this little guy was there a week...

So sorry to hear that he has fin rot :( But the water changes should help a lot! Let us know of any updates!

Hey do you think it would be safe to have casper in a community tank along with 3 girls? I've read that some have actually had a male with a lot of females and since casper is not aggressive at all and is actually very shy if it would be safe to put him in there.. It's a bigger tank with a...

I agree with you it is a bad idea. Silky96 to answer your question you would only be able to keep around maybe 4-6 unless you want to stun their growth. They are first born you could have a lot because they are extreamly small but they get bigger.. and they grow extreamly fast. So it's not...

Breeding any type of fish will take a lot of space. If you only want that one ft by one ft tank then it is best to maybe pick a fish and not breed. Now that, that is out of the way, one type of fish that is easy to breed and does not cost a lot of money are guppies. Guppies can be very...

Thanks, my friend was going to have her and her VT male as a pair, but now I am reading that it is actually best to have a different female and male? Just wondering if someone could tell me if that is really true or not.. I tried reading into betta genetics but I just about died.. (I never...

Wow! Look at his color glow! Jewel looks amazing :)

Thanks so much! That really helped, going to try and see for sure if that is what she is by going off your notes :) maybe even try to see what my own 3 girls are. :)

Thanks, I was surprised by sunny making a bubble nest :) Casper never did that.. but he's also not doing as well.. but that is not his fault. My mother saw that the food made his water really cloudy (we got a bad batch that we are replaceing tomorrow) and since she couldnt find the net she...

I finally got better pictures of sunny! (the mustard gas betta)Going to try and get casper after I do water changes and switch them around.. I've been conditioning Sunny and my 3 girls ever since monday and he has muilt a bubble nest each day.. without even seeing one of the girls.. so I was...

Ok so, the female I have been fish sitting for a friend is in fact a female since she decided to release her eggs in my 10 gallon that i kept her in since she has been to violent to my 3 girls. But one thing I never did figure out was what type of betta she is.. I know by males it's easier to...

Very beautiful betta you have there! :)

Oh wow they are pretty! The Gold one looks almost completely white.. Or maybe it's just the way the pic was taken? They are all very beautiful :)

Jewel is very pretty :) Or well.. since he is male I guess the proper word would be Handsome :)

He's so pretty! I just now got home and the page was alredy open so I never got a chance to even look at anyones yet. But wow he is pretty!

Fighterfish thanks :) and I thought that too, I tried the mirror trick but she never flared. Tried to attack the mirror but no flareing. She is a lot older than my 3 girls, so maybe shes just use to being the only betta in the tank? LilyRose I'm so sorry to hear that they all passed away. WHen...

LilyRose your right from the picture you showed me, caspers friend is a mustard gas. I would never have known what that even was unless you had shown me. ALso your bettas are beautiful! Fishy friend2 maybe the next time you see one you can get him, or maybe you will find one like casper! Just...

What does mustard gas look like?? I've never heard of that.. even when talking about a color.

lilfishie - thanks :) just wish I could have gotten a better picture. Fishy friend2 - lol! Sorry but he's Caspers buddy, I want to keep them together :) LilyRose - Not sure what mustard gas would look like.. but mustard is yellow.. lol but he is blue, it's just a bad picture because the...
