You know I can't resist Betta Fry... :thumbs: Very nice thanks for sharing !

I also, use decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. although, baby betta fry don't like to eat anything if it isn't moving drives me batty.

Very nice... :drool:

It appears to me that at first it was an abrasion from a fight... but because its an open sore fungal infection set in and slowly eating away at the area. I would do a treatment for fungal infections Saprolegnia fungus especially.

Any foods with a high protein is the best. I like to use BBS HBH Fry Foods Microworms as first foods. I am thinking about getting grindle worms as well, I believe TNT has cultures :thumbs:

:welcome:

:welcome:

Good luck :thumbs: Their fry is prob going to be the size of guppies lol OMG !!

I am a bit confused, do you have platys with your shrimp and a Betta? Copper is not good for any invert, this also could be a problem there are test kits out there to see if your water holds any traces of copper. Platy's could be eating your shrimp, betta's might as well... I have seen my betta girls swallow a baby pleco fry whole and the pleco fry was the size of a shrimp... I was surprised to say the least !! I doubt its stress but one of the two above factors I would suspect, also shrimp if they feel threatened are fanastic hiders. You seem to have a well planted tank so they might be hiding.

Well, Congrats!! Next time you will be more prepared Good luck on the next spawn attempt :thumbs:

:welcome:

They certainly look alot like L264... hahha would be wonderful if its a totally new sub species of the L264 or a new species altogether... !! :thumbs:

For the Females in a 10 gal tank would work great, you can put up to 5 min in a tank, to 8 max... :thumbs:

Oh, that's great news... :thumbs: Thanks Jvision... I was a bit concerned... more pleco babies yeah!! LOL

Okay, so the other day I got a glimse of my other male LongFin Pleco... he had fur growing on his two front fins. I at a glance thought it was fungal. So, I started treatment!! Well today I had to dig around the tank to find him, he is a fantastic hider !! :boxed: I wanted to make sure the meds were working. I pulled the stump out where he was hiding to take a closer look, the fungus wasn't gone oh no I pulled him closer for a better look, its not Fungal!! OH what the heck is it... it looks like its part of him... Looks like tenticles orange? This does not appear on my other male, its at the elbows of the front ventril fins... I hope I explained it right Is this normal growth or something of a genetic flaw? Or am I going to do the toilet bowl funeral soon? Any idea's would be appreciated... I tried looking up images of other males I haven't seen anything like it..
