[JoKeR]

What are using for spawning?

 

[JoKeR]

Well the male is in the spawning tank checking the new place out I got some pictures. But Ill post them later..

[JoKeR]

I forgot to say

the HMDT Royal Blue Spawn is taking place

So far his getting bored

Im gonna add his female at 8:30...

Then Ill leave them in there till tommorow....

 

[GuppyDude]

is it important to keep a good eye on them after the female is added? i was planning on keeping a good eye on my spawning pair untill i removed the female

 

[JoKeR]

I just leave them alone

Right now the female is in the lantern the males hormones are going crazy....

Yes you need to keep an eye on them for both their sakes. I've lost a male and two females in spawn tanks in the last three months, and have had several females I have had to remove within the first couple minutes of releasing her after the male cornered her and violently attacked You definately want to give them privacy, but bettas are an aggressive species by nature and you can never totally trust them in a spawn.


Good luck Joker, keep us updated

Thanks Sorell

Well no updates

male is still in the tank with his female by him...

He being lazy and not making a nest..SO...Ima give him a day

The female is in the lantern right now flaring with his male...

 

[JoKeR]

Well its 7:00 Am here and hes building his nest

The problem is that he did wanna build it under the cup he build it on the side of the cup..

The female is still in her lantern but that might change when I come back from school..

 

[Ben]

Joker, I don't even use the cup - I float plants or IAL and he'll nest under that.

Anyway, good luck

 

[JoKeR]

Thanks everybody for the luck

Well looks like he got tired and quitted on the nest

I just recieved some almond leaves So gonna change the cup for that..

 

[JoKeR]

***UPDATE***

Well its 7:10 PM

So far i realease the female he didnt have any nest

BUT!

After I put the almond leave in there he started building it under there

So far the only bruces anybody has is the male on his left ventral Hes got a nip

Im checking every 5 minutes....

Im hoping for them to spawn before 12:00PM

Thats all so far...

 

[JoKeR]

Well I think were getting close to an embrace!

The male is still building his nest under the leave.

The female is watching him do it and shrud his stuff!

Im sorry if im bording u all to sleep but its pretty exciting!

 

[JoKeR]

I'm glad the leaf is working. I think it looks nicer then a styrafoam cup, too.

Keeping the fingers crossed.
