I know I don’t post here much but I just wanted to give a little update, the unimaculata sp. are successfully breeding! I think they’re planning to fill the 40 gallon as much as possible so unless there’s a good amount of local interest, it may be time to start reading up on shipping fish. There are 20+ fry that I’ve seen that are all growing well and eating happily. They’re small for now but that won’t last long. I’ve included some photos of them being cute.

I also *just* got a trio of Betta mahachaiensis from a local breeder. They’re still pretty young and getting settled but I love them already!

Update on the mahachaiensis: Last week or so, I realized that I had ended up with 2 males. Thankfully, I got them from a local breeder who was happy to swap him for another female. The second the extra male was removed, the existing pair spawned and they have been spawning ever since. I think they’re on bubble nest #3 now? The tank is full of fry ranging from “tiny” to “extremely tiny”. He seems like a very devoted father, I just hope he’s looking after himself too and eating. Those instincts can be strong!

I was worried about keeping a species from the splendens complex together but knock on wood, things seem to be going just fine. The females are fairly elusive but when I see them, they look healthy and happy. The male is usually pretty easy to find, just find the latest bubble nest and he is there!
