First Breeding Attempt

That's what I did...

They got/get brine shrimp at lunch, blood worms in the morning and in the afternoon, and i also add some bettamin flakes.

Sounds like you did great--hope it all works out for you.

Thanks..

I bought another crowntail male today- Jaeger, and am starting to condition all three of them again, I think the female has started to absorb her eggs, because she doesn't seem as round to me, maybe I just got used to her...

Anyways, in a week or so, i will put Dracos and her back together and continue to condidtion Jaeger, if nothing happens, by two weeks, I'm going to switch Dracos and Jaeger.

(I'll post a pic of Jaeger later.)

New pics of everybody, I think I may have just not looked at Ava very clearly or something(unless she decided to swell up really fast), because she's definitely still big.

I bought a new tank, it's a betta barracks and can hold between 1-5 betta's, currently Dracos has the whole tanks to himself. I decided just to wait for Jaeger instead of condition them for a week, and reintroduce them...

Everything seems to be going okay, Dracos did blow a really small bubble nest when I separated him and Ava, but I think it is because he was next to Jaeger, so I might try that again, if it doesn't work out.

Jaeger, showing off-


Good flare pics-


I can count at least five rays on one of his branches(w/e those are called, can't think of it right now...), I had no idea he had so many when I bought him. lol.

Does anyone know his color pattern?

Nice pics!! He's very pretty!

Thanks, I really like his colors, and he was posing for me, lol.

[HopeInHeart]

Wow, he is so gorgeous. I think maybe he would be called a multicolor.

[Shadow6558]

lol, thanks I wasn't sure.

I'm really excited, today when I got hom for lunch he had a nice bubblenest started. and there were lots of bubbles just floating around the top of the tank too, so I think he is almost ready. Do I need to condition him for a full two weeks if he has the full bubblenest?
