How do you mock spawn??

 

[BWBettas]

Tis where i set up a spawn with the pair, but i dont release the female ever... just get the male randy enough to make a nest and show off. Then they go into bigger tanks next to eachother and finish conditioning

Bret

P.S - tis something i thought of. Bit stupid i know but im trying it

 

[bUcky]

[BWBettas]

Hah, lazy! Well, atleast we are chatting now. I've got them in the spawn tank etc

Bret

 

[BWBettas]

We have wrapping! randy lil bettas. Took them 28 hours before they decided to get randy together but boy are they at it! Thanks wendy for the great pair! Im charging batteries and hope they are still going later on for me to get a picture for you

[BWBettas]

It was, but the size of his nest he made and she was showing signs within hours so i thought i would give it a shot! Can people see the bettas wrapping in the picture?

Bret

p.S - ill try and get some better pics soon

 

[BWBettas]

Here are some better pictures, couldn't get any of them wrapping, seems they have finished but i got some individual ones! AND I THINK THESE ARE THE BEST PICTURES I'VE EVER TAKEN!!! espcially the female's pictures!! what do you think? Hope wendy sees these pictures to see her little babies

Bret

Woops, forgot to remove the flash mark on one of the pictures, sorry!

 

[BWBettas]

Female has been removed, will be awaiting the hatching of the eggs

Bret

P.S - greedy mare that i took out has just eaten 26 betta pro pellets

 

[bUcky]

[BWBettas]

Never bred anything before, but just had to ask - is the water supposed to be that colour? It looks dirty!

 

[BWBettas]

It's the tannins from the Atisons Betta SPA i put in it's great stuff for breeding bettas, available from www.kgbettas.co.uk
