16 oz is really small for jarring, especially if your not wanting to literally change 100% daily. You can get 32 oz deli containers pretty cheap. Or 0.5 or 0.75 gal containers from dollar tree. I also use one gal containers from winco which are about $3 each.

Thanks ❤️❤️

3/4 of my boys developed them. The only one that didn't passed from columnaris suddenly about 5 months ago. It started by presenting as fin melt and fin rot, and I did everything I could. Tannins, salt, daily water changed. Parameters were 0,0,5 ,it was a cycled tank. Heated to 80, planted. I...

Everyone saying koi haha. First two are from a fccp spawn. Fancy copper plakat. One has a more yellow base and one red. All look hmpk to me. The second two I would label candy marbles.

Hey! If you have ever used flex watt or THG heat tape for heating tanks/betta jars please read this! I’m having some issues and would love the help. So I ordered a significant amount of this THG heat tape for my betta grow out system and so far it’s not working at all. I’ve used under jar...

It’s possible the larger one is just farther along. Normally when I have experienced fungal grows they really look fuzzy, almost spiky. some bacterial infections can also look like fungus but tend to look more cottony. If it’s just discoloration and the one raised one my best guess would be...

They almost look like tumorous growths to me. Are they raised at all or is that just the lighting deceiving me? Generally tumor growths will look raised and textured.

I let it sit out for 24 hr then re-heat it before I add it back into my fry tank. I still add some dechlorinator for any heavy metals. Recently I’ve actually been keeping my replacement water in a 32 gal reservoir that stays heated all the time and has a UV sterilizer, but that’s only been like...

What is your water change schedule like when they are young. My guess would be water quality as well. Some people don’t change the water for the first month since that are so sensitive. I do once or twice but I’m extremely careful with how I do it. I don’t do more then 10% at a time. My...

Yellow fancy are doing good. Still a little smaller then I would like them to be, but they are still growing. my fccp are almost a month old, I have over 100. I’m very excited about that spawn, they are doing great. I am done posting to this thread. If you want updates, head to my tiktok, same...

I would say ammonia burns. I keep baby bettas in jar systems to grow out which are about the same size as the bowl, and I do 90% daily. The more water changes the better before you get into the 10 gal. Definitely get that heater and filter, and the cycled 10 gal, your fish will appreciate it...

Unfortunately it’s making it’s way though my fish room, despite my efforts to quarantine and prevent contamination. At least it’s been easy to treat thus far. This was my atemp to get it under a microscope

Oh my, I have quite a few babies! Very exciting! I’ve started to pick out my larger scale jarring system already, since I’ll need a lot. I’ve secured another room in the house to hold shelves for the jars. Unfortunately because of how horribly this house is sealed to the outside and how badly...

I’ve been working on it. That’s a whole other issue but I’m just working on getting the shipping settings down. Wordpress with woo commerce is hard!

Idk if the photos due it justice. Here’s the two week old fry from the red copper spawn. Definitely over 50 babies! Maybe more but I lose count after that.
