couldnt get some of the pairs to spawn in the shop on the barracks for the life of me so i sectioned it off with a big sign saying "BETTA BREEDING KEEP OUT" so that our customers left the tanks alone and 2 pair managed to spawn, but sadly my black feathertail got a severe beating from a rt female b/c he is now too scared to spawn due to a previous female and this triggered the attack, will have to wait and see if he pulls through the ordeal (really annoyed me, poor sod)

anyway the first pair should product black orchid RTs, have no pic has they finshed before i could get it but i do have pics of them somewhere but as single shots, cant even get the eggs as he has hidden them very well.

The 2nd pair is my black and red celophane half/Halfsun, with hm cambodian and this is the amount of eggs i got from them, about the same as the blue pair had, you know the 372 fry pair :shout:




the eggs go back about 2 inches and is really thick with them, he had to fight like crazy as the female kept pinching them but he managed to stop her from doing it, all the eggs were floating everywhere but once i removed her he collected every single one and bunched them up.
 
And just when you thought it coudn't get any better :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: Good luck with these guys......what temp are you keeping these at....lower or higher??

they are at 30 degrees b/c due to the heat recently this is what the shop is running at naturally so they spawned at this temp but conditioned at 24
 
Good luck with them all :good: :good: Hope you've got plenty of BBS hatching :lol: :lol: that can be harder work than the fry!!!!

like i said they have already spawned but he got wise to me looking and getting the camera ready.

Oh man! I'm sorry to hear that :angry: I have a boy guarding eggs rite now and I hope that doesnt happen(last spon he eat the eggs :mad: )

I love your OHM, hes beautifll, I hope you get babies from him some time.

well i think he should be ok for a 2nd spawning coz he looked after them for a bit, the other one just ate them immediately.
