1st spawn

Would be intresting to see the size difference of the fry your looking after with the fry dad is looking after.

any more pics yet hun

not at the min i need to take pics of the two living with pops thier huge in comparison. they had little or no brine shrimp mainly eating the males leftovers ie bloodworm and pro betta, it makes you wonder if brine shrimps worth the hassle..

i find its the water fouling from what babies don't eat is what stunts them more... big lot..daddy eats first, they get crumbs and infusoria etc with the live plants etc but there'd still be that same problem if all fry where in with dad if he didn't cull numbers himself

How's the babies doing Shadow?

How many have you got ?

easily 100+ all doing fine i lost around 3 last week but none since, i moved a dozen into the tank with the 2 pops reared so i can take pics in the week to show size dif.
pops is in his new barracks now n bubbling like mad lol....

Glad pops is doing well.

Yeah shadow, I'm looking forward to seeing the size difference.

new pics will be good, should have all grown quite a bit now

Cant wait to see baby fighters!

Any pic's yet shadow?

Rubbish fry pic.

I'll have you know i spent ages trying to resize that pic so the fry wasn't a bunch of pixel blocks!!!

atleast the lil guy is visible! lmao

awww storm well done hunni x

Looking good !

any pics yet shadow???

yea we could do with a few!!

Please, pruddy please!

they starting to colour up yet?

ok sry for not being around i had tooth trouble followed by mad gardening catch up and thin out n restock on my koi pool,
anyhow i'm still in the hundreds here and getting worried about offloading these and finding space for growing on etc,
I think i may need to move some into the shed at a later date but for now i can manage just!
as for colour so far theres a few showing but due to overcrowding they are quite slow growing the ones left with male are twice the size so i added a few to that tank but they aint catchin up at all, makes me wonder? maybe next spawn i may leave a few more with the male and see if the results are trhe same.
hopefully i can get chance this weekend to get asome pics.......

Ahhh pretty!

aww shadow they look wicked hun , great pics!!!!

Great pics shadow, the babies look fantastic!! You've certainly got a few to keep you busy!

great pics hun!!!

they're colouring up nicely now, i still hope you get the odd one thats dad's colour!

Great babies there mate

oh wow !

Do they all grow with the stripes as young or is that cause you went near them? lol
