Sibling marble spawn

Bettas seem to know when we are trying to take a picture and refuse to cooperate!

Yes Trying to get photos of my boys and they won't stop moving.

I don't know how many times I've tried to get a good pic, and all I get is colored swirls and tails or heads, but never what I'm trying to get. I don't know how those that get good pics do it!

A good camera with a fast shutter speed can get clear photos even during movement. My digital doesn't have batteries so I'm using my phone. It takes pretty good photos for a cellphone, but when things are moving, it can't focus fast enough.

She has a really shiny sheen to her body and fins that's not showing up well in the photo.

Oh I can totally see what you mean! Very pretty!

So we have eggs! Looks like 50 or more. Giovanni is watching his nest but less dillegently than other males I have seen. At least he is not eating them. :)

Ok here is video them spawning. It's a little awkward since it's their first time spawning. Cool thing is it was successful and lots of eggs are now neatly tucked away in a floating nest of bubbles.

I love seeing how gentle they were with each other. You don't get to see that very often. Congratulations on the new eggs.

It's true they really were very sweet. Neither of them has any torn fins at all.
