Mustard Gas Halfmoon Butterfly these are the old photos i had of them... cant be bothered digging out recent ones

yeah the Mg pair are starting to get the hang of it... the pure ct pair i have in together im sure will give it a good go and the other mg pair i have in ... might need a but more time to mature i think.. not rushing them just spending the time conditioning them up most the males are happily building bubble nests and flaring nicely so i think wel eventually get something Kris

hey guys just wondering how any one else is going with recent spawns over this cold season? recently this week ive had 3 spawns ... all with inexperienced breeders nothing has eventuated (eggs in nest but male ate them all twice) male and female are going at it again (mustard gas buttterfly pair) hopefully i actually get something this time

lol all good.. can seach betta hm etc. or indian almond or IAL or ct gourami etc. its under the water treatment section

hey guys ive listed a few on trademe for anyone interested have few lots for sale at moment iv got more on the way plus some bagged versions of the indian almond leaf also working with maf on way to import indian almond leaf extract cheers guys

Congrads David.. im guessing this is one of the bluemask ones on trademe im bidding on?

Giant? not me... David or Ron might have Abnormally big ones? lol

yeah agreed on double tail female.. im guessing purchased from animates ? or another store that Aqarius supplies ? as there are a few double tail fighter males in the moorhouse ave store here in chch

ive finally got the first shipment of indian almond leaves in some will be up for sale soon.... will keep everyone posted

def nice fish ron congrads..

yeah i agree on the delta tail

[here a pik of the female. dont have any recents of the male ,was purchased as a supposid orange hm pair , i would class them more red tho]

it would be fine if the room its in is heated adequately.. live a airconditioned house etc.. providing the air temp is above say 22 and constant

ive got a orange hm pair... i would call them more red than orange.. but once again its the light

ive done some investigation thru maf the way they are coming in they dont seem to have a problem at all the true test will be if they actually make it in... time will tell.... we checked up before was sent

yeah i thought id give them a go to see how they do and if bennefecial for breeding or not they in transit/customs hopefully be here mid nxt week

Hey guys just expressing interest im currently importing indian almond leaf used for breeding betta/fighters.. it gets them in the mood for breeding , also has great healing properties etc also acts as a water conditioner when used creates a tanned enriched water that is just like the natural habitat that they can be found in In stock now have listed some on "that" site for anyone that is interested Im only importing a smallish amount but if it works good for me il be bringing more in bulk Only a few will be for sale for starters

hey again the majority of the fish in above piks are male.. there is one female on the bottom right.. (lighter colored fish) mind you some of the pictured other fish could also be female didnt go to the extent of checking for egg spots while photographing but yeah basically once your female is well fed and full of eggs her belly will also be roundish/marble these guys are very well fed . thats why their bellys are round but if your female is close to same size as male i would not let her get that fat as he wont be able to squeeze her eggs out Kris

hey there the females are still very bland in color .. there is one on the bottom right pik but its red even the males are only darkening up within the last two weeks il have a look thru the tank tomorrow to see if i can spot a few blue ones dont see why not since the majority of males are blue based some of the 2nd crowntail spawn are showing strong blues and reds also but still young Kris

just some piks of the crowntail spawn#1 for peoples interest good mix of males and females.. will be for sale very soon if anyone interested Dad is in the piks... hes a imported pure makes ct mother is a locally purchased ct ..dont know how pure her lines are but all the fish from this spawn are showing good crowning

the new blue black ones look awesome was it a very large spawn david?

yeah sounds like hes happy and old enough to breed.. do you have a female thats suitable and conditioned??

Some piks of the better ones from the first Spawn of the yellowhalfmoon male Had aprox 100fry pretty much everone threw red.. some red with black lip.. some all red some red and clear/smoked lip this is the male im keeping This is the other male im keeping Couple of the others Some of the Crowntail spawn thats not far off Mainly showing reds , blues , greens Piks to come

fishbreeder: id aim for more volume rather than flow... ie id be using lots of smaller holes etc thru the partitions rather than one or two larger ones that way get a better mix of h2o and keep a constant slow flow thru all chambers and constant velocity its more for keeping water clean and even temperature more than anything or you could expiriment making a underwater gravel filter type setup. where the return back into the tank is from below the gravel at bottom of tank and feeding water thru a distibutor pipe at the top.. similar to the aqua one setup . this is what il be trying to get going properly for my fighter setup if i get around to it Kris

yup from what ive looked at .. a partitioned tank be the best for space etc for them a decent tank you could have many seperate cells in there.. make sure your filter system cuts the mustard tho , if your tank big enough a external filter prob be best , in at one end of tank out at other... flowing thru multiple holes in the chambers...remember to keep water flow down as much as possible, and have a small chamber with heater in also that water cycles over ive got a few ideas for when i get more space etc to get hardout into breeding
