Too bright?

I just got a new tank hood and bulbs today and I think the bulbs put off too much light for the pair. What do you think? I have not added IAL yet but I'm going to try and make the water tea colored as usual. Just give me you opinion as I do have a back up light :)

Funny story - I dreamed that I was a transhipper last night and got your bettas in and decided to spawn them on my own. It was really random. Then I felt guilty so I started conditioning them before shipping them to you.

Sorry - not much related to this thread, but I had to share!

She's just asking to be shredded...she's approaching the nest, full flare, challenging him and he chases her off. This could take awhile :/

This happened with my super reds from Chaba. Same thing. That female is now one of my easiest to spawn :p

She is! They're getting the embrace perfected right now...should be eggs in little bit.

And now we have some eggs! The first was dropped about an hour ago...about 20 so far...should continue for awhile.

Spawning began at 1:43 (the time I first saw the eggs fall) and ended at 5:19. Rosa is now floating in her tank and will get a nice meal of bloodworms when I get home. Dad is now in charge of AT LEAST 300 eggs...more like 500 though. I mean this is a HUGE spawn. Haha she was so ready to get out she swam into the cup...no netting!

Haha this is gonna be a fun spawn :p

Some spawn pics:

"Um honey...where are the kids?"



"NO NO put the eggs HERE!!!" "Fine do it yourself!"

I don't know how many times she spit out snail crap when she put the eggs in the nest xP

Some fry have hatched...but there's a weird brown stuff on some of the eggs...hope dad eats them if they're bad.

Most are dead...worst dad ever.

He didnt eat the bad eggs, half the eggs had developing fry but never hatched and some cant swim at all. I hope he does better next spawn.
