I had something similar happen to my first red VT male (which has passed on). At first I thought it was constipation, as his belly was quite swollen like the picture you show (did not really notice a bent spine in him though). Then I noticed the scales were protruding (like a pinecone), and it...

Just decided to take some pics of my spawn. Here they are (sorry for the bad quality...was kind of in a rush today).

SRC is right, www.bcbetta.com is in Canada (Langley, BC on the West Coast of Canada).

My baby bettas are on frozen daphnia as well as golden pearls at the moment, and they love them both!

Oh WOW! That orange plakat looks GREAT! :D

Wow! Congrats! Lovely fish!

Wow! That's great that the father is still taking care of the babies and not eating them!

Hey FishEnthusiast, If you're near a Big Al's, either you're on the West coast or East coast, right? The online price is in Canadian $, however, I notice the instore prices are sometimes $1.00-$2.00 more than the online price. If you're on the West coast, there is a place called Kind Ed Pet...

Hello FishEnthusiast, Not sure where abouts in Canada you're are, but here's a link to a place that sells a type of Black Water extract in Canada (if you can't find any @ your lfs). http://bigalsonline.ca/catalog/product.xml...ategory_id=2807 Nice rescue effort, and glad to see they are doing...

You can buy a valve controller and connect it from your airpump to the airline tubing, if you wish to still use the air pump at a lower level. http://bigalsonline.ca/catalog/product.xml...ategory_id=3977

Wow, that is a nice betta in that pic yeeviabetta!

You can use plastic canvas sheets (7 count should be fine, and is what I use in my 10 gallon tanks), and cut to size. Here's a link that came up when I went to google.com and typed in plastic canvas sheets: http://www.craftking.com/crafthtml/plastic_canvas.htm...

Good luck with Nitro's tail!

Hmm...I guess cork would be non toxic, as long as they don't put any chemicals in it's structure it should be ok. Hopefully there is nothing harmful that will leach into the water. Hopefully someone else on here knows.

Are there any local fish stores for you that aren't the big chain store types? I find that those usually carry bettas other than the VT types.

Hmm..I just noticed with my bigger betta babies, that the tips of their ventrals are kind of green in colour. I also notice near the edges of their other fins (on a few of them) are a green colour as well. Looks kind of "stringy" or hair like almost like algae. Anyone know what this is...

Oh no! :o Styx, I'm sorry to hear that. What did she choke on? I'm sure she lived a good life under your care. Hopefully the fry are doing well. :nod:

Glad to hear you got it out. :) You might want to try crushing the food up before giving it to your betta, and/or soaking it first to soften it up.

That is a good like that Kiarra posted. The only time where I had my female betta losing colour is when she was in a divided tank with a male. She would always go up against the divider nose first, and rubbed her nose so much against the divider that the colour came off. After breeding and...

Really Kiarra? Cool! :D About how many babies you have left?

Thanks!

A pic of one of my betta babies. I have about 8 of them that are "bigger" and about 3-4 really small ones. Like really small. I'm kinda worried about the smaller ones. The bigger ones seem to really like 100-200 micron golden pearls. I dried some frozen daphnia, but they didn't really...

Sorry to hear about your loss betta_CT.

I wish my male betta would eat the snails in it's tank (it's not that they're too big...just wondering why he doesn't eat them). If I crush them with a pair of plastic tweezers, he will eat them though. Some snails hitched a ride on a wisteria plant I bought awhile ago. Now I've just kinda...

Hey Styx, how are you weaning the ones that need to be separated off of heated 80 degree water?

Congrats again Styx. Any pix coming?

I've used plant weights to weigh down cucumber slices, or sometimes some people bury part of the cucumber in the gravel.

Good luck with the spawning!

Great to see his tail is starting to grow back! Great job! :D

I use 7 count for my betta dividers.

Sorry to hear about the jumper Raechal. Hopefully you'll find something to cover the opening. I've had friends mention that their bettas jumped throught very small openings. Kind of shocked how they can somehow squeeze through some small openings. Hope you feel better.

Those are great looking bettas! Congrats! :D

Great! Thanks for the info on this SRC! That would help with my smaller tanks.

Great looking bettas!

Sounds like your betta is doing fine! :D

Hmm...so you had no trouble switching them to adult frozen brine? Mine won't seem to go for any of those Golden Pearls. Do you think I should try some freeze dried daphnia for variety? It just seems like most of my fry won't eat something unless it's wiggling around.
