darkfur Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 dumb luck got them to breed without killing the female or any other mishaps, dad is now anxiously guarding his nest. The parents aren't too fancy since I thought I would learn to breed them before investing in supermodels. Dad is a turquoise VT and mum is a turquoise/red delta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkfur Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 proud dad took him out last night and then promptly freaked out because the babies decided to swim all over the place and I can't see them too easily! think they are all still ok! it was much easier to spot them when dad had them all corralled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinkles Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 lovely intense colour on them is it called green officially? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfur Posted June 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'm not sure? Not really a betta guru there's a really good site called bettysplendens.com that talks about it and I think it is a version of green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 lol i was just reading about it there. they've got it as turquoise aka green, just asked cause the other sites i've been reading call it green in official sounding terms lol i've got a pretty turquoise boy too, its a lovely colour with the way it gleams in the light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Congrats! Hope to spawn my CT boy (my avatar) with one of my nice Platnuim CT girls. Girls a bit feisty though... How old is the one you just spawned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbreeder Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 congrats, you could easily have more than what u think. i thought we had 70, then they grew and counted 200!! hope u get nice colours, dad is really pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfur Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 not sure of age as I didn't breed him lol 200... well... probably not... made the mistake of leaving substrate in and some eggs got lost. but still plenty of babies imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
