Red Copper Hm Spawn

[lilfishie]

Well this copper pair had been together 3 days up until today, this was there 4th release and just as I was about to trap the female as I left for work they started wrapping! Left them to is *spent the whole time at work worrying!* Came back they'd finished both 100% fine Females out with 1 tiny little split so very pleased. Not a great deal of eggs looks to be about 50 odd but they look bigger than my last spawn. Anyway enough babbling heres the pics

Male

Female

Nest

No pics of the eggs as Dad has moved them behind the cup now, they started inside of it then into the big nest pictured now round the back lol *still 100% there *

My but they're pretty! Congrats on the success. Too bad you aren't in the states. XD I'd be tempted to try to get a female from you.

Sorry Enkil, but you have gorgeous Bettas over there, have you seen Chards on Aquabid?

 

[Enkil]

Oh, I have. I'm on another forum specifically for bettas and contacted him when I wanted to start my sorority and get some nice boys. At the time, he just didn't have anything that grabbed me. So I bought my current stock (save for my new PK male) from DarkMoon on AquaBid. She's on the forum too and had the spawn log and a sales thread.
Found a beautiful male I wanted (Leonidas) but quickly found two more that caught my eye. So ended up with the 3 boys. At first glance, I only saw 2 girls I liked, but then I took a closer look and found my copper marble dragon.

Yours are very pretty though.

You have loads of wonderful Bettas over there, theres not as many Breeders in the UK which is 1 thing were trying to work on
