one of my lfs has a dozen or so simplex in and i was sooo close to buying them.. and i still kinda want to, i just cant decide. there was a large male with a throat full of eggs/fry and another pair were wraping and spawning right in front of me.. £14 per pair, im soo tempted..should i?

 

[devon_charm]

they are really cheap and must be healthy to be spawning

Awww your a star. They are great lil fish so i hope they have them, even if its just the one pair for you, they are a pleasure to own

 

[blue_betta]

got them! one of the males had a mouth full of babies and the stress of the jurney home caused him to spit some of them out, but they seem well doveloped and so long as he dont eat them while in the floating bag acclimatising, then i rekon they will be fine

you have a pm devon_charm

 

[devon_charm]

Yay *does little dance in her office*

Want some pics of them babies blue

 

[blue_betta]

well they have been put into their tank now. the bag with the male and babied i put into a container so i could syphon off the babies and i put them in a tank with a load of baby splendens, some of the splendon fry are growing fast so i hope they dont eat the baby simplex, time will tell.

ok so heses pics, not great but you get the idea, there are 6 babies he spat out
