hI All- I have 50 6 week old fry. I have been feeding them bbs 2-03 X's a day. I am going away Fri-Monday. I can feed them friday and Monday but not Sat Sun. Wil they be ok for 2 days? Nikki

Hi everyone- I need some help. My latest spawn will be a month old thursday. I had been averaging a fry death evey day or so. I do 10 % water changes daily and feed attsons and bbs 3-4 times a day. This morning I woke up and 5 fry were dead on the bottom. They looked healthy big bellies and no...

Thank you for the respones. The parents are a female plakat and a male veil tail. My female was new and tiny and she escaped the divider in the tank. So I am not actively trying to breed them. I won't want to breed this pair again. If we breed anymore it will be my boyfriend's yellow crowntail...

Here are the parents And the fry .... I will try to get better pictures over the weekend. Nikki

Hi Everyone- I wanted to share my betta news with everyone. Last Thursday my betta's had 114 babies. Yesterday a week later there were 40 eggs in my mails bubble nest. My new female betta is so tiny she slips between the divider to make babies and then retreats to her side of the tank. Last...

I understand that I have a small room with a 55 tropical tank, a 10 frog tank , and 4 betta tanks ranging from 1- 2.5 gallons. I have no more rom unless I create a wall with shelves to hold small tanks LOL. Nikki

Do you really have 39 bettas? Where do you keep them all? I am very excited to see this spawns colors :drool:

All I can say is ohhh boy lol. I will have to make a betta wall if that is the case. These are veil tails so I doubt I could sell them and I'm not sure I could they are my little ones now. I fed them some baby brine shrimp a few minutes ago and they were zooming eating them lol Nikki

Spraying the bottom of a breeding tank is a good idea. I have mine in my regular tank since they are to small and fragile to move. There is about 2" of gravel in the tank so my boyfriend thinks I have some hiding since they can still move in an out of the gravel with ease. I also have real...

Here are the pics of my betta parents Papa Billy http://www2.propichosting.com/Images/450016423/3.JPG Mama Misty http://www2.propichosting.com/Images/450016423/7.JPG I am hoping the fry have some nice greens in them. I am now feeding them baby brine shrimp and I think 2-4 are still thriving...

I see all of them plus one today :)

Thanks everyone- I'm afraifd to move the gravel I dont want to squish anyone. I will however lowe the water to basically nothing. At this point IO guess a filter is not important? I should just change water often? I saw as many as 10 last night. I just woke up and only see 4 :( Nikki

Thank you everyone ..... I have not moved them and now I see 8 .... the female I took out as soon as I saw the eggs the first night. I figured once the fry are free swimming horizontally I will start feeding right now they are atatched to the glass or gravel tail down. Nikki

Hi all- I am in need of some advice. Let me give you the story. Tuesday I came home from work to find my female betta jumped her divider and spawned with my male. I camre hom,e to find a buybble nest with eggs in it. Now, a little later that night the buble nest was destroyed. Today about 36...

Hi All- I am a new betta owner and a friend told me I could put a male and female together. They got along well but started breeding and I don't have the means to raise fry. I seperated them and now they both look sad. I am not certain if any eggs were saved. The male put them in his mouth but...
