Billaney Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Sorry could not resist adding just one more, you can see a couple of eggs in this one just about to be saved and spat back into the nest by the female, both have been doing that all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Absolutely gorgeous! Your female looks very much like ours...I was going to post here to ask if there was any possibility that she might be a male! Definitely that 'spade-like' tail....but that gorgeous rich colour like your girl...and VERY aggressive when she becomes amorous.... I introduced her to my remaining male fighter (her in a net breeder compatment while they said hello)....and I never let her out because she was all fired up and ready to go and he wasn't in the least bit interested!...Then SHE began building a bubblenest in her little net breeder...she is definitely ready for some action, the one male betta she 'mated' with....i wasn't sure if they were mating or fighting to the death...she was VICIOUS!.... he didn't die at the time, but a couple of weeks after he succumbed. (Although he seemed to enjoy the rough treatment at the time) Just the fact that a) she is such a glorious colour, b) she built a bubble nest herself (to give him the hint) c) she has been so aggressive when with a male fighter made me wonder if she might in fact be male. She LOOKS female...she doesn't have the super long trailing finnage...and in fact is almost identical to yours. I have been feeding her on brineshrim to condition her but think I may need a more manly fish to cope with her stroppiness! DON'T want to lose anymore male fighters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Fantastic series of pics Billaney.. Well done Bit concerned about the styrene pad.. as the fry will need to reach the surface quickly once hatched. It is normal to drop the water level to around 3-4" just prior to them hatching. This gives them a better chance of reaching the surface. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillz Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Any updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi Phillz updates ... well we only got two live fry from that breeding , I'm happy to say both are alive and doing well. As we speak the pair of them are at it again, this time doing things much more by the book, lower water levels, plastic plants for her to hide in, better poly-frame with access to the air but still protecting the nest , etc so hope for better survival rate this time.

Phillz Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Good to hear.........can't wait to see pics. I'm gonna do a proper count of my lil ones today, I think there is 5 or 6, but hard to tell withh all the plants and them hiding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
