Set up Demon Jr and his sister (a purple BF...no name) yesterday in a 10 gallon, half filled, a cave, one plant, some snails, a styrofoam cup and its outside. I think these two spawned a few days ago in another tub where their siblings at the eggs. Anyway he has a nice nest so far, she hasnt been badly injured and has bars. So this should be a nice spawn and my first outdoor spawn ever.

Demon Jr:





His uncles:





His dad when young:



His dad again:



Edit: They are spawning right now. Just started but it looks good...should produce a nice size spawn. Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld1M9DoMpIQ&feature=channel_video_title

your lucky it get so warm around your place, im trying to figure out a good spot to set up my tank to spawn my HM pair.
Out side would be great...but its Washington...middle of July and its currently raining.
We are lucky to get into the 80's.

Im sure that pair will produce beautiful fry!

Thanks! I hope the pair produces as good of fish as their parents did.

And Washington....the rain is good and bettas like it but the temps would be the problem. I used to have family there so I know what it's like haha.

I guess i could stick it in the green house...

well, mixing good genes will usually result in good babies.

Ya the dad of this pair comes from a show winning line that has been taking Best of Show for awhile now and the mom of this pair came from some very nice fish.

I'll get a new pair later on.
 
#13 ·

Yup dad is from Karen.

Ok so they hatched.....but he ate them. To be honest I'm not surprised since he's spawned several times but never had fry. So I fed him some food, and pulled out his first spawn mate (a different purple female) and introduced her. They should spawn soon. He has a nice nest goin.

No biggy.

This time...with a proper nest...we have spawnage. Both are doing great and picking up eggs. I'm adding additions to the pond (kiddy pool with plants haha) so they have a nice home to go back to when they're done.

Haha yours are gonna get a growth spurt anytime now...just give em good frozen food ad eventually pellets and keep the tank clean :)

Update: The eggs are pretty developed and we should see some fry in the next few hours.
