The Bettas ~ Betta #15 - post 60

[Kfamr]

Okay, I'm going to drive you guys nutso with photos as I'm just SO excited about them getting along so well.

Here's some photos I took this morning.

Belle and Babette swimming away from me. Babette is my most passive female. She allows the others to chase her and hasn't chased anyone else back yet.


OH HAI


DOES YOU HAVE TASTE?


NO TASTE


Feather and Wardrobe - Feather is my second most passive. She usually minds her own.


Babette and Belle with Wardrobe in the background


Feather, she is SO pretty.


Wardrobe going up for some air..

They are all beautiful. I'm glad the sorority is working out for you! For the other girl you could get one of these. http://www.aquariumguys.com/breedingtrap1.html
You could put her inside it inside the tank so everyone can see her and get used to her and then release her after a couple of days.

I have the same breeder I used it for my platy fry way back when but it doesn't let in any air for them to breath from and if you leave the lid off it sinks easily. :/ but there are other breeder traps that have an open surface that would work.

And I just love your girls! So precious!!

AAAAANNNDDD now I want to redecorate my tank...I shall has to make plans.

I added two new girls to the sorority! I also got 4 more danios.


She is tiny. I think she is VERY young.


She and the other blue girl seem to be going for alpha. I'll have to keep my eye on those two.


I added a couple more plants and a floating log:







And just one of the white girl because she is just too freaking pretty.

Those traps when I used them had air at the top it all depends on how you place them. The open topped ones allow the fish to jump out. Your white girl looks suspiciously like a plakat male. Does she have an oviposter?

I'm not tired of the pics yet.

Your new tank setup looks very nice! That is a lot of bettas! I don't live so close to the pet stores now that I go very often, so away from temptation more I guess

So jealous! Your tank is gorgeous. Whitey there looks kinda male-ish to me too! haha

I took some pics from here which show the ovopositor...

You really have me wondering now. Something seemed off about "her" to me. The ventrals are long compared to what I'm used to. I can't see a oviposter but then again he/she is so white it's hard to tell. I can't see oviposters on all of my females anyhow.

Another thing that gets me is the fact that he/she is SO docile. I've put him/her in a tank with one of my males and it didn't bother he/she. Even when the other mail was swimming around ferociously flaring.

So.. either I've got a silly looking female or a very, very docile male.

lol I guess only time will tell. Yeah it was the long ventrals and fins that kind of made me think male. Also females usually have more rounded stomachs. On a forum I am a member of members have accidently had 2 male plakats in tanks for a few months before they realize it.
