Michelle.g Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hi, So, I'm new to this. I currently have two tropical tanks on the go. One is a communtiy tank that I have had for a few years. I have two clown loaches, two catfish, two opaline gouramis, a large angelfish, a bristlenose plec, a swordtail, two female siamese fighters and one male siamese fighter. I have just started breeding siamese fighting fish. I am now raising my first ever batch of fry. The fry are two weeks old. The father has a light blue body with red fins and the female has a yellowish body with red fins so I'm really excited about what colours the babies will be.

Michelle.g Posted March 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Thanks for the great welcome everyone! And it's great to hear there is a club in Chch. I will definitely put some pics of my baby fighters on here when they start to colour up. I'm really interested in learning more about the different colours and finnage of siamese fighters. Can anyone recommend a good source of information about genetics of these fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 There are a few good betta sites. Try http://www.ultimatebettas.com/ Wife is at work playing catch up after the powder scare at NZ Post last night. (it was her area that had the package). Good to hear you having a go at breeding them. Our largest spawn of bettas was over 500 and we actually counted each one. We have a bit of info here which I will get Shaz to get out tomorrow and post web links before she goes to work. Hope this helps Mr Loopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 hi there again I really think you should come along to a meeting. I LOVE genetics and printed off a bunch of stuff about betta genetics a while ago. I also have a book or 2 which could be usefull. I have lots of books and bits and pieces of information which i hope will prove useful to everyone in the club at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
