Wow I have what looks to be 4 different looking colors/patterns starting to develop with the fry. I have seen green/gold, just gold, white with red, white with turquoise shimmer, and ones with dark near their red eyes.
ENJOY!

Nice fish, Ive wanted to try breading betta for awhile

Allie

Thanks. Well don't go into it blindly. It's a lot of extra work and money. I researched the process for a year before trying it. I got to know betta as a fish before attempting to breed them.
It's not something a beginner to breeding fish or anyone should try just b/c. My hubby and I are opening our own Fish Hatchery to help supply local fish store with better quality fish. This wasn't a whim at all. We need to experience breeding all species of fish for the business.
Never breed pet store betta either, get them from breeders off aquabid.com or any near you.

Awwwwww, sooooo darn sweet!!!!!

Fish Addict

Wow! That last one looks almost albino!

Allie

That would be interesting to see. I think he/she has the same red eyes as his/her parents tho. It also has red coming near the base of its tail.

Matt

They are soooo cute. I cant wait to see them when they are fully grown. The fish hatchery sounds awesome.

Thanks we've been working on it for a year now. Acquiring clients and what not. We'll be specializing in mostly cichlids and goldfish/pond fish. The most popular fish for our area. And Betta when I have some nice ones to sell.

Matt

awesome thats great to hear.

adorable babies for sure...how many are left? cant wait to see them take on their colors each day!

Allie

Thanks...me too. There are so many options with their background.
There are between 34-38 including the bigger ones in the 10g. I keep getting those two numbers when I TRY to count the fast tiny little farts. I think by Xmas they will all be big enough for me to actually count with out losing sight of.
Hung the guy I got my breeders from said the ones who make it to the 2 week mark usually are the survivors, if all goes well that is. As long as I keep up the water changes and cleaning out debris I should not have any more losses. I just have to watch the growth of the other bigger fry in the 33g...gotta make sure no one else gets eaten by a sib again.

Oh Allie......Those babies are gorgeous! You can already see the halfmoon tails....I can't wait to see the little wigglers at 4 months!

Allie

Thank so much. As you know it is very rewarding to see them progress like this. I have a few that I am getting attached to already..the bigger ones come right up in my face like they do when they are grown. So darn cute.
I know I am so excited to see what they will all look like.

CUTE!!!
I have to say, white with torquoise shimmer is my favorite coloring on bettas. It's what Rodya was, and what Volta is (plus that red on her tail)

Allie

There are a few who look like they may have that coloring. Maybe Gracie Jr. will be one of them.

Nice fish! I want to be a fish breeder. I think I got a female blue gourami. Congrats on the fry!

Allie

Thanks. It been a lot of work, research, worry and money...but well worth it so far. Hoping to get some nice looking fish out of my batch of fry, to add to my breeding project.

OooOOOOoohhhhh! Shiny! They are all so pretty. Sparkly like fairy dust.

Good job!
