fishclubgirl Posted May 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 They are in a very well covered 5 gallon with lots of hiding places. It's unheated and doesn't have a very good filter which is just fine by wild bettas. They are younger so I don't think that I'll see some breeding for a couple of months. They're quite curious about me and always approach me when it's feeding time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 That's pretty nice! I like that colour. (fishclubgirl, I think your inbox is full! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 And I have fry now!! Bred them the same as betta splendens but didn't add distilled water. I did add some salt and almond leaf extract. Dad's taking care of them and I'll probably remove him later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince0 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 woot! congrats! Very interested in getting some of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 They're free swimming now and there's lots of them. Have to see how the next couple of days goes until they're big enough for bbs. Looking back at this post, I mentioned that they can be kept together(as that is the info on the web) but I would differ. They are jarred and the aggression level is pretty high.The last group seemed to disappear but these guys are doing well(and also are a more mature fish). The colours on them are amazing!!!

fishclubgirl Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 These little guys are just visible to the naked eye so any pics won't help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I would love a pair of those. I think they are the most attractive of the wild species. Good job and good luck with the babies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishclubgirl Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Mahachais are one of my faves but I also like the little brownorums too. I think they're next into the spawn tank as I'd love to breed them!!! Such pretty little fish!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
