Outrageous!! Betta breeding with over 458 baby bettas

Can I take your freebie? Lol
They look great! I didn't realize how big their tails were until now. I'll have a tank up and ready for one in a week or so, I wish I could take two but then one would have to stay with some tetras and I don't know how that would go...

I'm considering putting a female betta with a few male guppies. Would that work? It'd be in a 10 gallon.

Right?!! I hope you like the freebie. He was feisty! Btw your male have gained more color and has more galaxy spots in him. He may look slightly different than the initial post of him. He’s a beautiful boy!

Feisty you say? I better go set up the 2.5 gal, Because I don’t want him hurting himself or getting stressed out that there are fry in the tank with him.

Well idk how he’ll act with around some other fishy because he was one on my male that was jarred. You may want to try and see how he’ll act like but considering that he’s still very young, he may accept them (another perk of getting a young betta)

More pictures of the males because why not. Please let me know if everybody prefers a video or a picture to showcase some of my males. I really like how these babies are turning out with potential at such a young age. It makes me proud

this may be a keeper but who knows

Could I put a female with some male guppies? Or wouldn't that work?
Click to expand...
They’ll get along. In fact it’ll be a competition for the betta to snatch some food from the guppies since they’re a bit slower than the live bearers but be sure to have some back up plan.

Ok! Is it possible for me to take someone's freebie they don't want? I would pay shipping.
is there a way for you to tell if your betta will like other fish? I've read that they can sometimes be more aggressive then males

I think that depends on the bettas personality as well as the guppies behavior. If you have a back up plan, I say sure. But there isn't really one way to tell, I've had both bother each other.

Some people put them next to each other to see the reaction of the betta in question. However imo you can't really tell until you try, which is another reason why you need a back up plan.

Alright. I was wondering if you would know if one of your females would be less aggressive? Or is there no way to tell?

My tank is cycling right now. Hopefully it'll be done soon so I can add one of these beauties.

I wouldn’t know it. I know that the females are peaceful in my grow out tank. That doesn’t mean that it’ll be the same with the guppies but better to have a back up plan just in case things will go south.

Alright. I do have a 1.5-2.5 gallon and I have an extra heater and stuff. Would that be big enough?

I won't be taking mine, don't have the room. I'll be ready to order in about a week or two, feel free to pm me so we can work something out!
 
Wow this spawn is amazing! If I didn't just drop $150 on koi crowntails I'd be hitting you up. I think my husband would stab me if I brought more in right this second, especially since he said I could get one....I couldn't decide so I panicked so I bought two and found some girlfriends.

I'm going to keep watching this thread, if my hubby doesn't kill me I may be reaching out in the future

Again, congrats on the amazing spawn!

Thanks for the complement but holy molly!! $150 for two bettas is ridiculous! You better breed them and reproduce more of that strain! Koi crowntails are cool!
 
My bettas will be here tommorow! I just recieved my small and regular sized NLS betta pellets today!
 
Oh my god I have not been getting pings from this thread it has GROWN lol

I’m skimming pretty fast through it all, are you selling them now? Just about to fix up my tank so I’m looking into another fish. Don’t know if I’m getting shipped or from LFS yet.

Lol. Yes, she's selling.

Huh? Why'd I stop getting notifications for this thread?

That happened to me too. I think it does it with the big threads. Idk why. It stopped giving me notifications for the User Below Me thread too

Wait, the one I started? Same, can't believe I stopped getting notifications for my own thread.
 
Yes

Some people say that it's because you don't open the latest notifications for the thread because sometimes you just get too many notifications and you just lose track but for some reason even when I open the latest notification, I still stop getting notifications for the thread.

Yes I don’t know why everybody is not getting a notification. Maybe we should tag a moderator and maybe they can answer it.

Idk if I have some more girls. There are few of them in here that are getting girls from me for sorority and stuff. I am not sure if I am allowed to mention them in here or not. I am sure I’d still have girls but they’re still marbling from blue to white. Idk if you’re going to be interested in that and see it develop its colors. I think my spawn is male dominant which is a pain haha

I hope everything will work out for you Too! Just let me know if you want one and I’ll hook you up.
 
I think the reason why some aren't getting more notifications is maybe cuz they didn't check the most recent post? If someone posts and you don't check the thread, you lose notifications until you check it again.

That’s alright! I’d love to see them marble and how they turn out
The thread is notifying me now, so your updates will be coming to me now hahahaha
 
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.

Yesterday we transferred the baby bettas to their grow out tank. I was very shocked when I counted my bettas. It turns out that I have a little over 458 baby bettas from this spawn which is surprising and very big. They are all very healthy and happy. They are growing at a nice rate. Currently they are eating grindal worms and baby brine shrimp. I’ll need a lot of help to re home these when it is time to do so. Stay tuned and follow me along with this.

Eep. I had some fish arrive late a few weeks ago, thankfully there were all okay. I hope they come soon!
Mine are scheduled to arrive tomorrow and I’m crossing my fingers for zero delays
 
Thats why I'm afraid of shipping fish or receiving shipped fish. Also UPS are monsters.
 
philam did you send AquaCaitlin ’s fish the same time as mine? (Monday)

yes I don’t know what’s up with the usps. They’re annoying that they can’t deliver them on the estimated delivery date. I’m hoping that they’ll get to you tomorrow before the weekend. I packed them pretty good and I hope that they’re alive when you get them.

They’re acclimating as of right now, and I promise to post pictures once they are released into their new aquariums.
