get them all seperated as soon as your able too, continue to feed 3 times a day on live only and then wean onto flakes or pellets in the last week if needed, raise the temp slightly and this will boost their final growth beyond what you would expect., dont let the males see each other for more than 2 hours a day, as this may cause rips. good luck cant wait to see them again in a few weeks time.

Cheers Daz......the temp is 30 at the moment and they are getting 3 feeds a day of brine shrimp, bloodworm and betta one and crushed betta pro. We're using floating tanks with solid colour dividers in at the moment.....is that ok??

 Sulking now! Never mind, I will make a different selection in a few weeks time when they have grown some more. I just want one that is a good colour but with a cute little face! Actually, any that look like they will be little clones of their dad would be great, he is a stunning fish!As for you Daz... grrr! But I have to hold on the hate mail for now, cos otherwise you won't hold the fish I want for me if i win him on Friday
