MM is a betta Gramma again!

Hey MM! I have been holding back on posting this with all the bad stuff that has been going on, I didn't want to cheer prematurely...but we have FRIES! They are almost 2 weeks old now! There are about 150 of them from Apollo and Big Mama..the multi male and female, and 50-100 from the salmandar male and the green female..I cleaned out the 38 gallon tank, filled it with a BUNCH of live moss and such, and they have all been growinglike crazy in there. Right now it only has about 5 inches of water in it, but I have been adding a gallon of RO water a day and they seem great! As soon as they are big enough to see in all the moss, I will get some pics! I wonder what the odds are I will have anything ready to show by convention??

LOL! I would love to post something but the only way I can even find them in all the plants and moss is with the flashlight! I will try to get something up here ASAP!

Takes a lot of shots with a macro lens to get a good pic of betta fry, they're just so tiny.

Not to sound snarky, but if you're planning on selling these, I suggest picking up a good camera to take quality pictures with.

Congrats! You may have something to show by convention if you feed them good....

Did you get a breeding with the salamander maleXsib sister yet?

no she was not impressed with the idea of being with a male yet..that is the reason I went with the green female. I also had Mimic in with the aquabid female...they spawned beautifully, but the eggs got eaten...I figured I will try him with the salamandar female in a few weeks...he is turning into such a BEAUTY!

Here are some new pics of the fry..still terrible even on macro, but at least now you can see them!! Numbers are still good, with some loss but not too bad..several of them at 4 weeks are already starting to color up!
