So I am researching Betta Breeding,for hope of one day breeding bettas could yyou please give me a link with the appropriate jar that I would use for fry??
Beanie Baby Boxes?! I would have never thought of that. I think my aunt use to buy those all the time during the Beanie Baby craze (she had a room devoted to them :Þ).
I collect used 2 ltr square plastic drink bottles (from mineral water or what ever - about 10cm x 10cm x height) which I then cut in half. When fry need to be bottled, they temporarily go in them. It's very cheap - better than spending $300. Since you're not planning on breeding anytime soon, you can start collecting them.
I must warn you though, doing daily wc on these is time consuming specially when you have a large spawn.
I don't usually use lids but if I had to, I would either use the top half of the bottle or plain carton from cereal boxes or what ever.
I don't usually bottle them all at once. I keep them together as long as I can. So it's possible for me to float the bottle in the tank and see if it is a potential jumper. Or you could cut the bottle rather tall and fill half way to avoid jumping.
I've been collecting whatever jars I can get from work. They are fairly large, but at least they are free. Large ranch bottles, tartar sauce, olives, cherries, etc.
I really like Mason jars.....it's more traditional I don't like gallon pickle jars because it's difficult to get a good grip during water changes so I use the Masons...just clean 100% everyday.
I was thinking about using disposable cups with the bubble dome type lids, 32oz minimum is what id like to keep it, but I'm still looking around for solutions before I attempt to breed.
