Betta Contest (Joshua)
Hello all!
I ordered a really nice pair to breed from Texas! I called on Tuesday to ask when they would arrive they said we had a cold snap so we are waiting a week! (good thing cuz it gonna git real warm here in IL soon LOL)
Any way I started up another pair today! This is not a match pair like my new ones. So here we go!
Male is a double split Crowntail blue/red
Female is a double split Crowntail red/steel
Introduced 12/13/12

Well, I must say I do like the look of that crown tail. I think the fry may have a good chance at second place. I am working on purchasing the parents of the fist place fry right now.

Could you post what the "address" is for where you got your bettas-- they look very good. Hope they do well for you.

Re: Betta Contest (Joshua)
So after talking with Sam yesterday I am going to try reverse psychology and see if that works!!!

There, let's hope that works!

Little Help Here
Josh, we could tell you what you are doing wrong, but that would be aiding and comforting the enemy.

bettas
Doe anyone have betta fry? I wondered how they might be doing. So far I've had two spawns but so far no fry. Both sets- the female was the initiator and the males definitely took a while to get the idea. A third female came close to killing the male! No spawn however. Gotta let him heal up. And he's almost double the size of the other males. I don't figure I'm any kind of contest threat but would like to get some fry out of it.

Re: Betta Contest (Joshua)

small spawns
I have 8-10 from first and 6 from my second spawn. I think the spawns were large but I had die off due to a couple of dumb errors on my part. Mistake one, fully filled ten gallon. I don't think all the spawn could reach the top to fill their labyrinth organ and the tank grew a thick layer of algae on top that I had to clear off. That also reduced the number of fry. The second spawn was in a 2 1/2 gallon and I decided this time to add some clean water (mistake two) and that is when a bunch vanished and I'm left with 6. I need to set up another spawn tank, I have a couple pairs ready to go. I should be getting higher spawn counts, like 70-80 fry. It's a little frustrating. The fry are quite difficult to rear and smaller than I remember.

I started having much better luck with the Corry and Angel fry when I used the microworms. They live in the water for a long time so the babies can eat when they are hungry without fouling the water.
update 1/25/13
Just checked the nest have about 100+ little tails hanging down!!!

hooray here too
One of my spawns has babies just getting to the free-swimming stage. They're SO small for my old eyes! Can't tell if they're eating on the microworms since the tank is so steamed over and the water level is so low and the watersprite has gone crazy. They could be nice looking if the genetics match the parents. I've never photographed and/or put pictures on the web site. Maybe that could be something to share at a meeting some time.
