That is awesome that you're so close! I would be there all the time if it were me


LBF I had no idea female macros could be so colorful either!

Got photos of my burdigala pair spawning. I thought it would creep them having a full light on and my camera in their faces but they honestly didn't even care. Male came over once or twice to have a flare at me though.











Would have had some nicer photos but they spawned in this awkward spot under the breeders' box where not much light was getting through. As you can see this pair also does a lot of damage to each other during courtship.

Wats with the tail rips was they aggressive at spawn too?

[LittleBettaFish]

Those two are always aggro. I had them separated with the female in a breeders' box to heal for a couple of days, but they wanted to get out and spawn (male was blowing nests all up against the box) so I let them out again.

I have given up on those two nutters so they just get to swim around looking tatty.

Love-Hate relationship?........Great pics nonetheless!

Whatever they are, the father is a good dad. I put a film canister in and within about an hour he had moved all his eggs up into there to keep them safe. Better for me as then I can just scoop the whole nest out when they are a few days old.

That is what my female patoti looks like these days! Some of these fish are just mean to each other, no rhyme or reason to it. One minute they hate each other and the next minute they're spawning.

I need to do some serious plant pruning in my tanks. I finally have a few days off this coming week so I will be doing my monthly water change on my big NPT tanks and fixing up the plantscaping in them.

The ocellata babies have grown so much over the past week! I switched them to frozen bbs instead of live because it's easier to feed them more, and I can tell it's made a difference in their growth. It's so nice to have access to frozen, but the pet store always runs out.

I made a friend in Indonesia thats willing to sell his marcros for 10 a pair to me. is that the best thing or not? Hahahahaa but i told him i can help him sell cause im not a macro fan i told him in the US one pair of macros can go up to 200. He laughed and said there its sold for as low as 5 USD hahahaa
