Ok so since the fry hatched last night/this morning (around 3am) I have been keeping my eyes out on where I would get the best deal on jars or containers to keep them when they are ready. (I know that wont be for a while)
Anyway I was at one store that were selling different colored containers (kinda like a box.. but still had a lid that clamped shut so I knew it wouldnt come off) and I was asked by my mother if the color would affect the bettas in any way and honestly I have no clue. What do you think?
They were only a dollar.. and big enough to put a small plant in and have room for the betta to swim (sorry kinda hard to describe the size..) If it is safe I will get thoes and just put holes in the top It not, I shall continue searching! Any ideas as to what others use as well would be much appreciated
Awesome! I know it was a silly question but last thing I wanted was my mother saying "I told you so" Then me having to pay her 5 bucks.. lol (our little game) She thinks that it will make the bettas feel trapped since they wouldnt be able to see through like they would a clear container..
They are actually big enough for my whole hand to fit inside which makes me feel a lot better than putting them in a small jar.
The kiddy pool was just where I threw my last spawn of adults (males and females) and some guppies...but there was breeding and lots of guppy babies. It works good for a growout and I can keep more than one male in there (two brothers)...maybe next year I'll put in two males and four females, lots of hiding places (of course) and watch carefully but I think it'll work out (not advised unless you REALLY know what you're doing).
Oh wow.. you never have problems with the males finding eachother and fighting either? Thats awesome! And I agree with Abby I would love to read the thread as well. Would be very interesting to see
Ya but fancy bettas will fight for MAYBE 6 minuets...but those fighters....6 hours????? Holy crap. I want some fighters (not to fight but because I like their rugged kinda wild look).
