I assume you are correct! And I am very interested in learning more about your jar system as I hope to make one similar.

You seem to be doing everything right.II can't think of any reason why they aren't growing faster. . . . .well actually, you didn't guve us their sizes. But from the picture, I'm guessing around 2.5 cm BO.

My result on average;
4 months : 2-3cm BO
5 months : 3 - 3.5cm BO

I often distribute up to 200 in a 50g long.
No real water changing schedule - change when I think they need it, which could be in a week or two. If planted, less water changing.

Once jarred, growth reduces a great deal.
Water changes depend on feeding - more food = more water changes.

*** Note:
My water source can be deadly from time to time (when water company fushes their tanks) - reason I don't do as much water changing as I advise.

Thanks for the reply!

I guess looking into it more, they seem to be at least in a healthy size range, even im not getting the exact results I may hope for. I found a real cheap 55 gal tub I would love to make into a little pond/tank next time I breed but they are becoming aggressive and showing me it’s time to jar them. At least once I jar the larger ones the smaller ones will have more space to catch up.

my jar system should get frequent water changes so I’m hoping I can keep the growth rate high but we shal see. I’ll keep you updated. I’m hoping to start shipping in 2 months so hopefully I’m at least setting myself up for that.

Alrighty here’s some photos

I don’t know how their color will end up looking since I haven’t seen any other fccp spawn logs. It will be interesting to see. Their star tails and form look great though.

Wow they're stunning!

The jaring system is still under construction currently so I only have about 10 ish fish in jars. Ugh!

I tried using reptile heat tape and it’s not working at al!!! It’s only cooling down and won’t heat the jars above like 65-70 (obviously that doesn’t work haha). Anyone have this experience? It’s THG tape from Pangea reptile.

oh well working towards a solution! Here’s a photo of one of my large males as he marbles out a bit! He started with that really dark body and copper tail and now he’s turning into a more standard red/white fccp. Still has stunning form!! May be my keeper for the males or one of the “breeder grade” ones I sell. Sorry it’s not as good as the other photos. He’s in his jar, rather then my photo tank.

So beautiful! I NEED one of the babies-when will you be selling them? Would love to purchase one for a breeding pair.

My guess is I can start selling around 4 months of age, and I will do local pick up now if people like caring for babies. I’m unsure how this forum is when it comes to talking buy/sell so if your very interested shoot me a pm and we can discuss more there.

one thing though, I would not spawn two of the offspring together. While I am not against line breeding, I am pretty sure the parents are siblings/have been line bred. Because I don’t know how long the breeder I got them from has line bred them, it’s safer to not continue. I would mix in new blood before line breeding them. Any of the ones that I keep won’t be bred together, I’ll be importing some from a different seller to mix up my line.

Here’s a little look at the betta barracks system. So far I have 21 jars here. Temp just by heating the sump is 78 right now, hope it goes up.

hoping to move some fish in soon, I need the space

I will have a total of 49 jars total when it’s done

Looks great!

Soo organized! :0
