yea i have a red crown tail girl, shes almost ready to breed, starting to get the marble shape to her , hopefully a few more days. he should be able to wrap her, if not ill use my large VT to breed with her. my boy is meant to be a VT but he doesnt have the flowing back tail. and seems to have spikes starting to grow from it. cant wait till he gets bigger and i can see what he is.
-
i have a young male that looks like a comb tail. so pretty. 3 months old and making wonderful nests.i love the red with black lip. if my boy is making nests that means hes old enough to breed right?
-
it sounds like a damn good idea. we have a caravan that he wants to fill with fighters, he wasnt keen but then he saw the first male and was in love, then a new 3 month old male we have got is red and blue and blowing nests already...hes in love with them thinks they are cool. was thinking of just having a few holes in the tops of the partitions that way the water flow wouldnt bug the fish too much, or should i have holes all over the partitions?? thanks for the help
-
my hubby reckons we get a large glass tank and partition it off for keeping males. not sure where he thinks we will put a filter adn heater tho. but sounds like a cheaper idea.

a carpet eel?? thanks will builders sand be better than silica sand?
-
builders sand? whats that like? what colour is it? how hard to clean?
-
i was thinking of silica sand that i can get from placemakers. would that be okay. what sort of reed or rush? do i plant them? do they need light? thanks heaps. i thought i would give my eel something better than boring gravel and rocks.do they love sand?
-
i dont know what sort of eel, i got it from a pet store about 12 years ago. it has bumps on the nose and is a brown colour. thats all i know . would it be okay with the sand?? i dont think it would mind the lights, its got plenty of hiding spots and comes out more at night. could it still burrow in the sand if there are plants there?
-
is it okay to put silca sand in a tank with an eel? and can i put plants like glosso, dwarf sag or hair grass in it??
-
i might be totally wrong here, but i "think" clown loaches dont do that and they are algae eater. i think.
-
wow i can see what everyone is meaning by looking like a marble. cool pictures i hope i can get mine to breed soon
-
thanks guys, makes things easy now. will let you know how i get on.
-
hes got bumps where they should be, hes only a baby, maybe they will grow. by as adodge says probably not. hope its not genetic. but i got 8 of them and so far i think the rest are fine, they are siblings.
-
sounds like a fun plant
-
are they okay with plants or do the uproot them? i think i will get a larger one next time. if i get any more
-
ill be gutted if he not fertile. coz he is awesome

my female betta refuses to breed with my male
fishbreeder replied to fishbreeder's topic in Anabantoids
sorry its a VT blue male and a CT red female. i took her out coz looks like my boy has fought with her and she has bite out of fin. will let her get bigger for a month or so i think before i try again. i think she was scared coz he is massive. does anyone have a nearly fully grown female? -
oh really, that sounds awesome. im gonna get some so i can plant out my tank for my female bettas. can mix hair grass, dwarf sag and glosso?/
-
i was just worried about the gas that builds up to dangerous levels in the sand.
-
i saw the video , but it showed cleaning tanks that were not planted out. how do you get to the sand if you have dwarf sag or hair grass covering it. thanks
-
i bought two baby BNs one found its way into a decoratin and couldnt get out. the other i dont know what happened, it just died. not getting anymore.
-
that sounds like a good plant. i want to plant in sand but dont know how to clean the sand if i plant it out
-
so is he deformed or something?? can he still breed?? he is such awesome colouring. ive had a good look and hes not holding them up.
-
i have a male fighter about 3 months old he has lovely fins, but doesnt have any of the skinny front lower fins, do they come later?
