Another Spawn.. =P

**binka_nugget** · 03-01-2006, 06:18 PM

It's my second spawn in one week. I think I'm just a bit addicted.

Here's dad:

And ma:

I'm expecting 100% Opaque whites.. hopefully a lot of them will be Halfmoons like dad. I'm thinking about breeding one of these babies to one of my steel blues, then breeding one of those babies back to an Opaque to strengthen the white coloring... but that's a heckuvalot of babies.

I counted about 60 eggs. I'll probably have some babies available for adoption from my two spawns in a few months.

Anywho, I got some better photos this time of the couple spawning.. and an awesome video too.

Here's the video: http://d31.yousendit.com/D/26B4MK4FE...R/MVI_1186.avi

Wow they are beautiful! I'd totally take one except it would have to go in my room and I like total darkness and silence in my room at night.

You'd still have total darkness and silence with a Betta!

Awesome!!! The parents are absoultely stunning!

**binka_nugget** · 03-02-2006, 03:23 PM

The babies hatched

I counted less than 20 but I could be way off since their tiny white bodies blend in with the bubbles. They are so darn cute!!

ok....... so after seeing your opaque male i just decided i´ll get a betta.....
the ones i mostly see are blue/red ones (i´ll try to get the one that steals my eyes) i´m not to acknowdelged in fishy terms, but i´m sure i´ll get all advice i need form you guys.(from pics i mostly seen males but how can you differ?) sorry if i sound so dumb

i already have a tank, my brother has some angels and stuff but he got them in a smaller tank and then passd them to a bigger tank, because they needed air/filter/etc so this tank is available, yay!!! (dont ask me capacity cause i dont know, but its a nice size for one or two fishies (well at least not two male bettas, that i know

)

YAY! We've brought another one over to the dark side. Soon you'll be overrun by bettas.

Males and females are pretty easy to differentiate (unless you're dealing with Male plakats.. which are short finned. Then it gets a bit tricky =P).

These are females:

The easiest way to tell is by looking at the length of their fins. Females have shorter fins. If you're really unsure, take a look at it's underside. Females have a white spot like in this pic: http://www.bettatalk.com/images/how_to25.jpg

Males are the ones you see with the long fins (except for Plakats.. but they're not very common in your average fish store), like daddy in the picture above.

Yes, I know. I added a little exaggeration in my post, just cause she just hatched another spawn as well.

P.S. -- Ashley, I was kidding at first when I said I was coming to steal your opaque boy, but I'm dead serious now. >.>

hehe. ;D

Hehe.. the cultures I sell are basically live food. You can "culture" them so that you have a never ending supply of food (well, if you take care of the culture :P). I have Microworm cultures, grindal worm cultures and vinegar eel cultures. I feed the MW and VEs to my babies.. and the grindals to my adults. They all love them!

This makes me want a Betta soooooo bad! But my mom wont ever let me have another fish I dont think. Anyways, the mom, and dad both are gorgeous, and congrats on 2 successful spawnings!
