Sorry I haven't been updating, you guys! They're 9 weeks old now!! I've been very busy with the kiddos. I'm setting up the 10g to move in 15 or so of the largest fry, to give them more space to grow and hopefully give the smaller fry in the grow-out a chance to get bigger.
All of them are doing super well though... the largest are at least 1.5 inches, all of them have fins that are really filling out and so far I have not seen a single fry with under-devloped or missing ventrals or any similar deformities AND no nips/damage to any tails, which is awesome. There is sooo much color in the tank, I wish I could get a decent picture of them!! I have at least a dozen or so really stunning turquoise fry, some fry with pale bodies with green marbling, and most are either emerald or mint green with the white BF pattern starting to show along the edges. =0) unbelievably adorable! They're definitely getting Betta-tudes already... hence why I'm moving the larger fry, so the smaller guys don't get picked on and I can monitor when to start jarring the big fry quicker.
I actually brought 4 fry in a large shipping bag to my Econ class on Monday, because I had to do my business presentation and my business was (of course) Betta breeding. I already have at least 20 of my friends that have made deposits, they all thought the little guys were very cute
Picsss... the first little guy had a swim bladder problem, so I jarred him just to be able to monitor him more closely. He's now fully recovered and back with his brothers and sisters. The second guy/girl is one of my largest fry, and soooo uncooperative with picture-taking.
