Just finished moving the babies to a 37 gallon tank where they will stay until separation occurs. The final count is 75!!!! I am so beyond thrilled that there are so many.
they are about half an inch including tail. going to keep some, maybe line breed .. at least 10 will be given away to local friends/family, i will try to sell the rest
Well, 20 for sure won't be sold. About. I imagine I'll be keeping 5-10 and another 10 to family/friends free (only cause I never mentioned price to them but if they ever want more they'll be paying lol)
Hmmm, $300 will about cover a 55 gallon for another growout lol.
I have 1 pair I'm conditioning now, I have another young pair to condition after them (I'm thinking about a month or two between spawns for now) and I have another pair on the way ... lol Might have to move the operation outside, though I'm not sure of the logistics of it all!
Can we get pictures to see what they look like now because im really interested in a breeding pair
I havent bred in so long! Only because i was moving. Lately we arent in any luck with houses:/. We are leaving PA this week sometime if we dont find anything, then we have to wait til next year. Which means that i can breed bettas again for another year!!! Woot Woot! Lol
I know I can see the pics on "fin rot or color" but I can't find the thread! lol I REALLY want to see the pics, though! Could you post a link quickly? I used the search button, and looked through the threads. lol I'm probably just blind.
re: culling/fins/etc - they all really look exactly the same. about half are darker and bigger, and the other half are lighter/still see through. i can see blue or green iridescence showing up on most of them
eta: thinking about it, i bet the darker ones are the green ones like mama, and the lighter ones are the fancy marbles like daddy - daddy had a white body before the blue marbling took over
@cajunamy: "thinking about it, i bet the darker ones are the green ones like mama, and the lighter ones are the fancy marbles like daddy - daddy had a white body before the blue marbling took over"
Green/green origin like copper look light colored when young while Blue looks dark.... But I could be wrong.
they're only 7 weeks, the bigger ones are almost an inch which according to growth charts I found is pretty on schedule. but, being a newb to this i have no idea really.
