Doubletail x Doubletail Geno

Well, I have five of those Betta cups from Petsmart, perfect sizes for the cultures AND the lids have pin prick holes. ;) As long as you give me at least a week notice of when you are coming down, I can book those days off.

As for the fry, only a few more dead which is fine. Janey definitely has the fertile eggs!

Jeez February is going to be busy! I am going with my parents, so I don't think we can go that off course. I will be down there the 15, 16, and 17. Now how are we going to work this out...

So Sena, how's the spawn going?

[Sena Hansler]

Pretty good actually. A tad upset the silly BBS did not hatch fully this morning, so they went hungry for the time I was not home. However, they got fed some MW, so that was fine. Now I am waiting for the BBS shells to settle, and suck up a whole bunch of BBS for them to nom on.

I will also be doing a thorough clean and check of the tank, entitling me to remove most of the plants and decor to make sure there are no dead fry.

Ooh we should so plan it so we all pick up the fish on the same day :) glad the fry are doing good! Can't wait to see how this pawn turns out!

Hey BB123 good news! My MW culture has a couple crawling on the bottom so I'll actually be trying to re-start that said culture too.

Also I had to DIP the lid of LG's worms, into the fry tank it was TAMING so much I thought the lid was going to suddenly walk away -.-; Fry are happy.

As for the culture, it has been split into... NINE different jars and cups. Mine will probably be divided likewise.

In other words, BB123. re-start yours by making the oatmeal/yeast/water again and re-add the old culture. "If just two survive, they will repopulate".

So in total I may have up to 20 cultures. If they all work.

Wow lg's culture must have been huge! I will try restart my culture... I am super worried about Calypso :(
20 cultures though! You could supplie all the breeders in Canada lol!

[Sena Hansler]

xD Well, I decided 12 for the MW, and the banana worms if they are going good I can hopefully divide them up into 6 new cultures. Just to make sure they keep going.

[Sena Hansler]

One question I do have... I looked up banana worms, and it always says that banana is actually optional and not critical. What does the banana do for them?

[MattsBettas]

You could supply all of the breeders in Alberta for sure! What's wrong with Calypso? And how are the banana worms, Sena? I'm waiting for lg to post so that I can figure out how I will get some of these worms haha.

[BeautifulBetta123]

Sena- I don't actually know :) that is going to be a LOT of worms lol.
Matt- I will pm you so I don't spam up this thread :)
