Hi guys! I went to the good tailed lfs today and they had a buy one get one free sale and I got 4 femalse and 2 males. They had no more nice male tails so I got 2 veils one black and one opaque. The females I was sooooooo lucky! They usually only have veils but I found 2 crowns and obviously bought them. I also bought 2 veil cambodian wit red fin females im conditioning
 
Honestly, I don't know if you should be breeding them quite yet... you need to really let them settle, and I'm not really certain, based on your posts, if you are really mature enough to handle the responsibility of a lot of little lives on your hands...

Conditioning them right after you get them is bad, don't you realize that? You aren't even giving them a chance to get used to their new homes yet. Breeding isn't a sport, its a serious undertaking with a lot of responsibilities, and it doesn't seem like you are really taking it very seriously.

Just a thought.
 
no you didnt get the good ones from the farther store, lol j/k thats good news but breed them already,hold up you just got them. and let them go through3 days and them start to condition them for 2 weeks :crazy:and dont breed veiltails :no:
 
Yeah I dont want to bash, but it sounds like you may be a little too young to be undertaking this project. I have seen some of your posts and frankly think you need to learn alot more before under taking this project. Just the other day you asked if because a female flared at another were they gay. I hope you would reconsider and plan on reading on them first.
 
I mean I'm gonna condition them after they get used to their surroundings cuz I know that fish are a lil bit scared and stressed after ya bring em home. And btw...this female has this wierd tumorish thing on her body where its attached to the fin... what should i do?
 
what store did you get them at? and about the tumor thing.. i really dont know.. i wouldnt buy a fish with a tumor

err dont breed veiltails :no: because there are already so many out there and, no ones going to take them, so you might have 300 babiewanting food everyday.
 
You SHOULDN'T be breeding her, that is for certain!

A: You need to put her in QUARENTINE. You do not know what the tumor is, and if it is contagious and spreads, you will be giving your fish death sentences. You may be young, but I don't think you want to do that, do you?

Then, you need to get a camera, and take some pictures of the growth, and post them to the forum... or get out your most descriptive abilities and tell us what it looks like, etc.

Frankly, you should ditch the idea of breeding. If you can't identify and tend to diseases in your fish, how do you think you'll keep baby fry alive? The instant they get sick, you need to be able to ACT, not spend three or four vital hours asking questions -- by then it may be too late.

Seperate all of your fish into SEPERATE containers. Look at them for symptoms. Treat them for the various illnesses that they have brought in. Don't put them together for at least two weeks until you KNOW they are no longer sick. The males stay -away- from the females and in their own houses, and you should only keep the females together if you have a PROPERLY set up aquarium. This means at least ten to fifteen gallons with HEAVY plantings of java moss, and other types of plants, caves, etc for the girls to hide in. Then you need to babysit that tank until you know for a certain that the -minimum of four females- gets along well.

Maybe you haven't already made a very drastic mistake... :angry:
 
It looks like a scab or something... she like lost her skin there like if you fell down and scratched your arm on the ground... I put some melafix in already... if she doesnt get better I'm returning her
 
Im sorry i would take it back and get somthing else why risk infecting all your bettas.........or at least mention it to the lfs thats it not a good fish as for breeding no comment :( :( :(
