  1. Want to Buy Frogbit

    I’m on the west coast but I have been shipping it for months. Had lots of success with it getting delayed even. If your wanting some send me a pm. That’s a photo of an order I sent out that went from OR to WI. Got delayed and took 7 days but made it in perfect condition
  2. Want To Buy CO2 Regulator

    If anyone has any used co2 equipment, ideally a regulator, I would be interested. If you have anything, pm me. Thanks
  3. Wanting to start a betta breeding business

    one thought, have you considered selling imports? Breeding is great, and I love it, but its a solid 4-5 months of throwing money at a project and tons of work with no guarantee of even making that money back. When you import and sell, you only have to wait a week or so to let the fish rest...
  4. Wanting to start a betta breeding business

    Unnecessary, it’s pretty easy to regrow torn finnage in young healthy bettas. Salt, tannins, maybe some vitachem, and very clean water is all ya need. Using meds is only for infections, like fin rot. Which I don’t even use meds for. Torn fins is just physical damage, so using salt to prevent...
  5. Wanting to start a betta breeding business

    I quite like the method, and you can get very very long ones. I shal warn you, watcher changes suck suck suck. But you cant really avoid that. I have a friend who keeps about 50+ jarred bettas and she spends hours changing water every day. Breeding bettas is amazing, but the work really is...
  6. Wanting to start a betta breeding business

    Ah ok, good luck on your tiktok, it’s a nice platform. I have a decent following there myself, and it has worked well for me. for heating, the window won’t be enough. Water temp is generally a few degrees lower the air temp, and I highly doubt it stays at 81 through the night. Generally...
  7. Wanting to start a betta breeding business

    Here are my 2 cents as someone who’s doing something similar, but basically with the goal of making a little bit of money to support my hobby (for now, I will try and scale it if possible. For foods, you will need more then bbs. When fry are first free swimming bbs will likely be too large for...
  8. What happens to bettas that don't have access to the water's surface?

    I haven’t found anything I would personally value citing in my papers for my bio classes haha but I have seen many lower level websites saying it. That doesn’t for sure mean it’s true but it’s less likely to be false if it’s widely accepted as the right information. Betta and gourami seem to...
  9. What happens to bettas that don't have access to the water's surface?

    I don’t know the answer to your question, but funny enough I know exactly what video you are referring too. Me and a few of my fish keeping friends were discussing that but didn’t come to a definite conclusion. I have read some articles/website posts that suggest betta are obligate labyrinth...
  10. Betta Breeding Journey- yellow fancy HMPK

    Sorry these are kinda iffy, but this is a much larger spawn. Hoping I can prevent the die off this time.

    I haven't sexed them all yet but I'm sure I do. And if I don't have what your looking for (limited selection clearly haha) I have a friend who has a massive spawn. And we got the parents from the same breeder around the same time so we suspect they were related. She has over 170 beautiful little...
  12. Brine Shrimp Hatchery

    Hey man that’s fine. Everyone has what they like, I’m sure they are great.

    that works too, its what I use to clean my baby betta jars. I'm just fond of my mini syphon maybe. I also use the airline tubing to replace the water back into the spawn tank. I place the bucket higher and syphon it back in, but with a valve to drip it back into the tank.

    Thank you for the tips! Vinegar eels was one of the ones I was sure I needed to add to the collection, and I will look into paramecium as well. I'm probably just going to ditch the microworms totally and do more water changes this time around to hopefully clear up those issues. I normally use...
  15. Testing water

    In order to really know if your tank parameters are safe for fish you will need to get an ammonia (NH3) test as well. In a cycled tank you should have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 5-40 nitrate. Personally though I like to keep nitrate under 30. You control nitrate with water changes and ammonia and...
  16. Brine Shrimp Hatchery

    Just throwing in an option. I've been running hatcheries for months for my betta fry (for them feeding frozen is not an option, I need to do live) and I have found it kinda sucks but as long as you run more then one at a time and remember to re-start them its not that bad. This is something...
  17. Betta Breeding Journey- yellow fancy HMPK

    I will hopefully get around to photographing some of the yellow fancy babies today. A lot of them are changing colors which is very cool to watch. Also the eggs from the FCCP are hatching. I can see tails. Should be free swimming tomorrow or the next day. Its another smaller spawn which is...

    I can photograph the female better tomorrow but here’s a photo of my male
  19. Betta Breeding Journey- yellow fancy HMPK

    The actual spawning only tanks a few days so I dont do changes while they are together. I actually try and avoid the tank as much as possible to avoid stressing them out. The spawning tank itself has a heater and sponge filter in there. The sponge filter and the plants came from established...
  20. Betta Breeding Journey- yellow fancy HMPK

    Oh not an issue. I actually probably could sell them just locally if I wanted but I also have a decent following on my tiktok page, and have lots of people interested. This batch I’ll probably sell on my Instagram and local, and if I get another larger spawn, I’ll make a website. Baby has...
