Finally! My new female & rescue !!

[prosthetik]

Thanks guys :)

Yeah def not show Betta's. I dont even think theres anywhere here that does shows anyway. Its just for me to see how it goes.
I put them both in there last night, he's built a small nest but not big enough for me to let her out of the jar I dont think. Mum wouldnt let me keep the tank light on overnight so I think that might have something to do with it.

Neither here either!!! Betta are so hard to find here over the ditch. -_-Yeah, it may be. Put them in the morning and keep light on. I'm pretty sure you're meant to leave the light on for 3 days but i'm not entirely sure sorry

[prosthetik]

Well he's back to building his nest which is good. Its about the size of 3 20 cent coins now so hopefully I can add her a bit later.

Yeah all the show Betta stuff seems to happen in America & Europe. I dont mind though. I'd stress myself out too much if I went to enter things like that lol.

Oh; this is Richard, the male Im breeding her with:



That pic doesnt show his blue/purple body that well :(

[moonsand0wls]

Oh my!! He is absolutely GORGEOUS!!

[prosthetik]

He is :D
You can kinds see how dark his blue/purple is here:

oh gorgeous. Do you have a grow out tank? Or are you going to let them grow out in that tank? :) I'm thinking the latter for mine

[prosthetik]

Its a 50 litre tank so Im not sure yet. If I need to get a grow out one Im just going to go get one of those big 75 litre tubs from Big W cause that way after that I can just use it as a storage container for all my fish stuff.

[moonsand0wls]

Yeah, that would be cool. The spare ones I have ATM are only 3L, 25L and a big 80L, so I'm thinking use the 80L as both spawning and grow out. Good luck for you, don't forget to make a fry log ;)

[prosthetik]

Oh I wont forget! I've been writing down everything in a book as well haha.

Gideon, the rescue boy, I went in to see how he is this morning & theres a huge bubble nest all along the back of his tank! There's also some more white fin growth thats appeared :)

I didnt think I would get into Betta's as much as I have lol.

[moonsand0wls]

hehehe you'll get addicted :P They are AMAZING.

ohhh good luck for you :) I'm still trying to collect jars before I start! Have you got food sorted?
