So, Janey (DTg) and Mickey (DT) were placed together in a 10 gallon spawn tank, at 1pm on Tuesday. Wednesday they spawned at 11am, and since then the father has been caring for the nest. Since I know from last time... She gives you a butt-load of eggs :lol: So a few eaten eggs and fry won't matter!
Yes, I do know he is short bodied. Since this is a DOUBLETAIL spawn, heavy culling is going to happen anyways. Short bodies you can breed out... That's the easy part. The hard part is the actual finnage, having the caudal symmetrical is in itself a hard task. But it's doable ;-) I will probably breed F1 on, since doubletails are almost non-existent here.
I know :lol: I will probably use her 1-3 more times. Since all she does for the other tail types is widen the fins I can use her for crowntails, plakats (if I ever actually found a male plakat), etc.
Try to reculture the microworms. Just add some oatmeal on top. If even two worms survived... And I love my blacks color. It's the most intense black I've ever seen on a betta. First, I'm planning on breeding him to my crowntail girl to get a black crowntail/black plakat crowntail. I'm also going to breed him to a female I get from logistics guy to improve finnage.
I was more referring to just the culturing info. And I can guarantee you that your fry love plants in their tanks! Do you use tubs (like Rubbermaid storage bins) as grow outs?
Logistisc's is doing fine. I may split that one up, and add more oatmeal to all cultures and see what happens. Add air holes! They still need to breathe.
huh.. I know the containers you sent, are with regular lids... For the microworms that is. His is booming, that it'll have to be divided anyways xD Mine is dead by the looks of it.
Yeah but mine are in different containers than your guys I just was looking for some smaller containers with lids so travel would be easier mine are in large containers. Sorry about your culture I think I mad his first so more live orms were scraped off the old culture onto his then yours was the stuff underneath
I gave to Sena and one to give to Logistics when he dropped off our fish I think I should have kept some of Logistics worms because mine are toast if Logistics culture is that ginormous I guess he would be fine with it lol. I saw before I left that morning that one of the cultures had worms crawling up it I can't imagine what they must be like now!
I would wash out the existing cultures, add new oats and yeast, and put a few dabs of worms in off of lg's culture. He won't even notice ha. The grow so fast! When is he getting them?
Whenever he drops off the fish I guess which will be the same trip he drops off yours in
