[betta one]

i wish i were u lol

 

[alessasavoca]

lol thanks I've got a full tank shot I'll put it up tomorrow, also got more boys than that, atm the Mustard Gas boy is in a hospital tank as he chewed his fins when he had ich, they are growing back nicely but I want a pic of him in his full glory. Also have a purple/multi CT male, he's a lazy bugger and very camera shy, and a lovely reddy purple boy with SD and PK heritage. I will try to get some nice pics of them when the camera has got more batteries!

how many fish are in the tank of that last pic anyways

 

[alessasavoca]

lol it's a 63 gallon tank (deep) with 20 girls, 8 ottos and 4 kuhlis (moving tank when I can catch the buggers!) They are all out and about in the pic as I've just fed them with those sinking tablet things, so all the fish came out to have a look

Edited to add: Oh I see it looks from the pic that it's the majority of the tank, don't worry, its not there's plenty of room for all the fish and I do weekly maintenance religiously, water stats are always fine.

my mom told me i could onlu have 8 at a time

so sad i can have more in 2009
any advice

 

[alessasavoca]

you could always buy some young ones and tell your mum they reproduced without you knowing? or you could say that you had to have them as they were in such horrible conditions in the shop and you just *had* to buy them to save them?

 

[betta one]

if she ge't to know she'll cull them all
at least she said the fry can stay 5 months

 

[alessasavoca]

Would she really? Couldn't you hide them?

Lovely Tank.
Love the manzanite wood.

Those Ct females are

 

[branjie]

Isn't there bound to be some girls in your fry? Maybe she'll change her mind and let you keep a couple in five months time, when she sees how upset you are to part with the rest.

Alessa your girls are just stunning! I don't think you can get colourful ones here in Australia, the ones I've seen are a browny colour. Did you have to buy yours on Aquabid or could you get them locally? Nice tank by the way. Perfect set up for Bettas.

OMG i love that tank set up it looks awsome. The girlies look good in there too all are beautifal, bet your feeling like the proud mum.

 

[alessasavoca]

thanks, you guys some of the girls are from Amerce, the others are from a localish shop that gets them in quite young and they are well bred (he imports them from Germany). I'll put a full tank shot up later-there are two lumps of quartz in there at the moment holding the wood down until it's soaked enough that it'll sink lol.

You bet I'm the proud mum Devon Charm!
