i plan on posting weekly pictures of the fry to track their growth. this thread will auto update every saturday or sunday. i hope i can keep this up for 8 weeks.
the daphnia were more expensive than brineshrimp and blood worms, but you get more quantity wise. i think i paid 5.99 or 6.99. you should invest in some if you have extra money.
also, they should be eating enough so they are having 'real' poop, and not the orange specs from hatched bbs.
anyways, im off to do some shopping then drop by the trans-shipper's home to pick up some aquabid orders! so excited.

a few people have already pm'd asking to buy some. i will tell you what i told them. all canadians are welcome to have my bettas, free of charge. thats right, free. i breed for a hobby and want to share it with as many people as i can. unlike other amateurs, i realize there is no money in this market.
however, there is a catch. you must fully pay for the shipping. but be warned, shipping costs an arm and a leg. i will provide a receipt of shipping cost for those that think i may be ripping them off. message me in a month if you are still intersted.

i just noticed a few of my fish have nips on their fins. i guess its time to jar them. i'll make it a priority before any more damage is done. this means that feeding will be a pain! also, i wont be able to take nice tankful pictures.
i have no experience in sexing fry. frankly, all of the bigger ones look like males to me. perhaps they grow faster than female? as of now, i randomly jarred the bigger ones until their genders become more distinguishable.
im beginning to see a large variety in color. i dont know how common that is but i have seen siblings that look nothing alike.
these are just 16 oz beer cups. i got them from my work place, but i think you can get them from just about anywhere. im only using them as temporary housing until they are big enough to withstand cooler temperatures.
Daww, theyre adorable!
Its so cool to se them gradually growing up,
I wonder if its like raising salmon fry :eyeroll:
Ha, Im back in my 2nd grade science class xD
Congrats!
Maybe along the line if you continue to breed and decide to sell to the states I will be able to buy a few from you They look awesome! I love it when they have such colorful spawns.
