:D well first off, a litlte update on my batch of fry :*) just in case anyoen's interested.

I have some 24 days old betta fry, and some good news, most have developed their labyrith organs :wub: very cute to watch them go upppa nd down to get little gulps of air :wub: and also, they have sprouted ventrals :hyper: they're very very hard to see..but they're there! and last but not least:...:wub: :wub: color!

yeah a few of them have started to get this band of blue lining their anal fins :look: and most recently, i have gotten them to accept frozen food! :*) this is a miracle becuase my bbs hatchery isn't quite up to par and my mw cluture has failed on me :sad:

so tonight, i defrosted some crushed frozen bloodworms, frozen daphnia and frozen brine shrimp. I hand fed them using tweezers to the fry. and to me it seems like they LOVED the bloodworms to death, and hated the daphnia the most :)

brine shrimp was okay, but it was a bit big for them at thsi stage. the fry would try to stuff a big piece of brine shrimp in its mouth :wub: they'd end up sptting half of it out, but then they'd try again! :look:

so now their meal consists of live bbs, frozen bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp and rozen daphnia! sheesh even my diet istn' as varied as theirs!

i am so proud because all those water changes finally paid off :flex:

p.s. as a side note, the fry that were growign slowly from my first batch are coloring up nicely now :flex: also showing signs of aggrsesion too :S but i think they are okay :whistle:

thanks for reading guys :*)

i believe daddy is carrying the marble gene as he has changed his colors quite darmatically after breeding. I think mommy is a crowntail (possiby, not sure). she WAS white when i got her, but again after breeding she turned more of a yellowish green :S who knows :dunno:

I NEED to get my hand on some blackworms, i'm thinking of asking my lfs to special order some for me too, but i dotn' knwo if they'll do it :sad:
 
cool, u should get some beutiful fry out of them :D iv got my male u'v probaby seen, hes a crowntail, and i just bout wat im pretty sure is a vt female. i dunno if im gunna breed them or not, im still kicking around the thoght ;)
 
congrats,cc :wub: I know you've worked so hard to get this batch safely through their first month,it's such an important, long month of developement and you did it!!! :kana:


I just gave mine their first frozen bw's the other day too :*) They look at microworms like it's dust now :lol: They say "gimme da meat,momma!" :p
 
:*) aww thanks guys! i have really owrked very hard to pull these fry through their first months! and now i'm finally starting to see some results :) it makes me overjoyed :wub: everytime i see them develop soemthing new, or do something different i get all :hyper: and freak out for the rest of the day :lol:

gp: i tried to take some pics of the fry but it wasn't possble, none of the pictures came out at all, and then my bf's camera died :X :-( i was hoping to catch some good ones to put on here -_-

cc & linda: thanks for the compliment :wub: but these guys are such sweethearts anyways :*

comet: my killies are next up :shifty: not even sure i got a nice pair yet though :blink: -_-

wuv: as soon as they get use to frozen foods, forget microworms!! :hyper:
