1St Longfins

[lilfishie]

My 1st ever longfinned Bns have arrived from Ev Aquatics, an Albino Female & 2 young Calicos

Am guessing there care is exactly the same just no sharp edges that may damage there fins? *no worries of that as my Bettas are in the same tank*

Ev Aquatics are really good. that where i get my food from, did you go down there or get delivery? their tanks are pristine. Good healthy fish and a good range too. its not far from Wharfs Aquatic and a hell of a lot cheaper too

If you have both sexes in your threesome, then you should be aware that bristles like "rough sex". The will end up with some raggy looking fins as a result. I have kept and bred them for about a decade. The only way I could maintain show quality fins was to keep them solo or females only and then never with other fish that tend to nip fins.

I am not a huge betta person, especially spendens,. But I believe males can be fin nippers with anything that has long flowing fins. Perhaps a better betta person can verify this.

There in with my female bettas so less nippy and taking no attention to them at all they've all settled well, there's the odd fin tear from the other BNs and sorting dominance out but its on the mend already
