gagaforfish Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I want to breed fighters, but I would like a few pointers before I start anything... What kind of setup do you guys use for spawning? I was thinking a 60-30-30 bare bottomed, ( :lol: ) with a few plants anchored down or something like that?

phoenix44 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 where are you going to keep all the babies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagaforfish Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 where are you going to keep all the babies? When? I could use the 190L, that I keep putting off buying a stand for.. :oops: Or when they start getting agro towards each other I have a few little tanks that I could use? But this is just something i'm looking into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Spawning them is the easy part. You'll need to grow the fry out and separate the males. Where would you put 20 males? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagaforfish Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 hmmm... what do you guys do? edit: maybe the coke bottle thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 The coke bottle in tanks method works. Adrienne uses it. It works incredibly well for her. She just sits them in the tank after putting a few holes in and cutting the tops off I've also seen them pegged to the sides of tanks with a few holes in.

gagaforfish Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 oh yeah? For first foods would you say microworms are okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Microworms are good Green water works well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Its full of insuforia. http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/bettas.htm That website is pretty good for betta stuff.

SamH Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I just spawned my PK pair in a bare bottomed 60x30 with a large floating indian fern in it, the fry are 2 weeks old. Fed on microworms with 50% daily waterchanges and a sponge filter everything is going well. Do you have a pair yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Please don't spawn veiltails. Unless you really like them. It'll be much easier to move on other tail types. And a decent pair from a breeder wont even cost that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 There's not even any veiltails on aquabid, that's how unwanted they are. I might be able to lend you a pair, anything to stop veiltails :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allister_B Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 come on now guys, veiltails are great. josh stop giving the pegged coke bottle secret away hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a decent pair from a breeder wont even cost that much I have a VT! but I agree that I shouldn't breed them, every betta site you go on tells you the worthlessness of them... :roll: I quite like halfmoons and I had one ages ago, but he died in what I think was an ammonia spike, but it was before I had an ammonia test kit. :-? But I haven't decided on a type, if I see something I like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Do you want to borrow my pair for breeding? You can borrow them if you're very careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allister_B Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 halfmoons are my fav 2. i have 3 and heaps of females, if your looking for a different looking fighter crown tails are nice but like veiltails they are not that sort after.

SamH Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Rather a CT to a VT any days :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allister_B Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 yeh same, but how often do you see them in the lfs? never, only tm and breeders haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I see VTs more than CTs at my LPS and LFS, doesn't mean to say VTs are more sought after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allister_B Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 didnt say that, just said crowntails arent. veil tails are always in shops because there cheap to import and sell to the beginner fish keeper for a huge profit. btw the plakat in ur avatar, is that yours or just off net?
