I'm hanging out at the computer desk where my bettas are, and I'm watching Jade and Mushu flirt through their tank walls. They're both wiggling like crazy, and Jade will pause to put her head down in the 45 degree angle. Plus, she has some serious vertical barring going on!
And Mushu has a fairly impressive bubblenest going on lol
I tried getting a video of the courtship displays, but when I stood up with the camera, they were more focused on dancing for me, than each other.
Plus, all I have for breeding them in is a 2.5. there's nowhere to setup the 10, and my frogs staked claim on the 5. I also need to figure out what I'm going to do with all of the babies.
My frogs can have any sickly/culls. and I'm planning on keeping 1 baby. But aside from that, my other option is to sell them to the fish store... IF they'll take them.
We have an empty 10 gal. He doesn't want anymore tanks set up, and doesn't want to get stuck with up to 250 baby bettas. Despite that there will be culls, deaths (because this would be my first breeding), and I will be selling all but one of them.
We were going to use the 2.5 for the moment, once the fry were free swimming, we were going to move them to the 30gal with our guppies and their fry. so, I think it'd only be up maybe 2 weeks tops. And that's IF they even breed. We've had Jade about a year now, and she was fully grown when we bought her.
