Haha maybe it's a good thing I live so far away or all my wilds might disappear.

I like how long and snakey wild bettas are in body shape. Saw an awesome pair of imbellis the other day on AB. If only wishes were fishes my whole room would be full of them.

Think I have a little man about the house in my uberis tank.

I am wondering if it is temperature related as coccina complex species seem very skewed towards male predominant spawns. I only got a handful of females if that from my persephone and my uberis are now all looking male too. Going to experiment by turning the temperature right down as these guys like it cooler anyway.

I also have a couple of big burdigala fry coming on. Their parents are wild-caught and they live in with them.




Then this is just a nice photo of my burdigala captive bred female



Have lots of fry currently I have to figure out what to do with. Got a couple spare 2ft tanks I can use as grow-outs for them all.

I really want to get a few. They're fascinatingly beautiful.

Check w/ Setsuna he had a spawn around the first of year. I have a pair but no spawn for at least a month if then........

Uberis juveniles are getting bigger now they are onto adult foods. The biggest male has even starting challenging his mother but she is built like a tank and just mows him down.






Here's the one I am hoping is female as I have a spare unrelated uberis male whose previous mate died.


This is one of my million burdigala fry. Looks like another male as mum does not show as much iridescence even when fully coloured.
