I can’t wait either and no I don’t live in Europe. I stay in USA.
base Color is actually starting to come in and I could see it In a certain angle. Lol
Offer them here if they want it as long as they’re in USA or my local or online but we’ll see how they’ll develop first. It’ll be interesting.
Wow, what an amazing spawn!
Well it Looks like you’ll have a lot of patterns to pick from!! Hopefully you’ll get some to give a home in the future. I’m leaning towards a red galaxy Nemo pattern but who knows. Marble genes are interesting to work with.
I fed them with Baby brine shrimp as soon as they’re free swimming which is on the third day after they have hatched. I’ll feed them twice a day on the days that I have to work and on my day off, I’ll try to feed them 4 times a day due to the size of the spawn. The Key is to give them a freshly hatched BBS. Don’t save the BBS for later because they lose their nutritional value. Due to the enormous size of this spawn, I never had a problem with leftover of BBS. In fact I don’t think I’m feeding them enough. About 1 1/2 week old, I fed them a little bit of grindal worms to see if they could take on it which they did and I’ve been feeding them with it since for once a day along with BBS 2x a day.
Aw men that’s too bad. You should have put a lot of floating plants in the tank to suck all the impurities in the water. I’m putting a dwarf water lettuce in my tank to control the ammonia and also lots of IAL along with frequent water changes.
Thanks!! I hope everything goes well
Baby bettas are very vulnerable and fragile when they just hatched and up to 4 weeks old. Small changes in the water could be risky that’s why I never change water in the spawn tank.
Oh wow. It’s very important to observe the fries at early stage because they’re very very fragile. Maybe those few days that you had missed had caused an ammonia spike. We learn and move on.
Nope, happens way sooner than that. They can start to damage each other at around 2 - 2.5 months in my experience, though if its only girls it may stay peaceful for 3 - 4 months. If you have a good tank and some luck, sister sororities can just establish hierarchy and learn to live together. No such luck with boys.
That’s just the photo angle that makes it look like it’s too crowded but it’s not.
I’d say when theyre 2.5 months old and older but obviously when they’re only 2.5 months old, they won’t have the full color yet if they marbled but you get to see it grow up and develop its color and tail. I’d have to say that they’ll have their full color when they’re 4.5 - 7 months old.
Yeah thanks for the reminder. At least I only have to worry about the males. The girls can live together until they find their new home.
