Betta fish should come with a warning that they will take over every spare moment of your life.
I am new to fish keeping. I started out buying a 60litre tank for my daughter, who wanted a few fish for her birthday. A few platys later and their subsequent offspring and our first tank came to life. That’s probably where it should have ended but then I discovered Betta fish.
I am no expert and find all the colour and variations mind boggling but I adore these fish. I bought a male and later a female and did my research into breeding them. Everyone said it was really difficult to successfully breed them but I thought I’d try once and then separate them. I’d lined up homes and a local pet supplier to take the fry in case I was successful but I didn’t expect to be.
Well, here I am now with 15 babies and I don’t want to part with them. My house is now covered in 20-30 litre tanks housing each one with a few females in the community tank. I don’t know the colour types but would be keen to know if anyone can help with this if I post photos of them. They haven’t got their full colours yet but some of you expects might be able to spot what they’ll be.
