Don't tell daddy because I love him to death... but his son is a bit more of a looker. He got the true orange color a lot faster, I think it's just because of the totally awesome care I know you gave them. You are truly the best betta mommy I know, I hope I can live up to your standards.
Aww.. I really mean it, I hope you know that. I really do admire you very much, and I know you take amazing care of your bettas. *big hug* Happy Mother's Day!!
The thing about the black is really interesting me!! Especially since it is showing up so early on the young guy... hmmm.... I wonder if some out of the next spawn will be that way, or if they all will! *scratches chin* You know.. orange with black would pretty neat. But then again, so is pure orange.
I know that after I bought the oranges she had some orange and blacks up for sale. I see orange and blacks often, the purest,cleanest orange is what I'm shooting for,I guess. I see a few from this second batch with black too, mostly on their ventrals It's hard to keep up with them though, there's so many )
Good news though, my lfs has 4 ~ 4 ft tanks, they're like 55's cut in half (height wise) but still the same length, crazy. But anyway,they're used & cheap and perfect for breeding/growing in. They'll go perfectly on the shelving unit that I asked for for Mother's Day ) That's just what I wanted to breed the giants in, I can't wait to get it all set up!
Hmm.... maybe the black is sort of like a red wash on a white, only not.. At least you have a large spawn to pick some nice ones from, that way you can breed all that black right out. Hehe!
Freaking exciting about the tanks! Whoo!!! I can't wait until you breed giants *happy sigh*. You know I'll butter you up then too right? Wow you are just gettin all set up aren't you?
... They need a jealous smiley. <That just doesn't cut it.
I'm not sure when I'm going to get it set up. The shelves I want are metal, so I can somehow attach lighting to each level. I can probably get my lfs to front the tanks to me until I come up with 200 bucks to pay him for all 4, at least one The manager just drools everytime I talk about the giants, he's pretty hot for me to breed them ASAP so I figure the tank should be easy to get out of him
I think the same about the black being like red wash...from what I've seen,they still sell very well I've never seen a pure orange for sale though...
