I couldn't figure out why all my fish were gathering at the computer side of my community 10g, especially my female DT who besides being new in that tank (switched out with the VT female who was chasing cherry shrimp :sly: ) is generally very introverted until i saw them eating. Now, at first I thought they wre stirring up the frozen daphnia i feed them that tends to get lost in the gravel until i realized these were too big and too white to be daphnia. They're betta eggs! My DT girl is randomly spawning with nobody (i know, she's just expelling unused eggs, but i've never seen this before, having never bred bettas). Now the tetras won't leave her alone. They are following her like the greedy little sharks they are. Not that she's any better, eating her own eggs! :lol:



[edit] at least i know if i ever want to breed her she's a prolific egglayer. oh and that nasty female black neon! she's the piggiest fish i have! tut tut tut...
 
lol same thing happened to me i was like screaming OMG ARE ONE OF MY PLAKAT GUYS IN THE GIRL'S TANK O____O and i was like wait... i dont got any plakat males lol
 
:crazy: bit off topic...thats what I used to hate when the mollies had fry all the other fish used to follow them around eating the babies! :hey:

one of my cts is a fussy eater, but he poos so not sure what he was eating. have found some tiny snail shells in his tank but realised yesterday he is also eating the snail eggs from sides of the tank, no wonder he dont want my food :good:
 
i don't mind them eating the eggs, its one less thing i have to clean up :lol: 'sides i don't have the time or the money to breed bettas, and her tail lobes aren't quite perfect, anyhow. and were i to breed her it would have to be to synirr's boy who's also got imperfect lobes -pets future boy- so meh... i just haven't got the fishes to do it.
