Re: day 1 of breeding siamese...
Will get Betta pic in day light as that one does not do justice to them. They ready for lights out & not wanting to come up front like usual
Can't wait to set up new tank!
Question- any harm in tank partitioned with young fry one side & adult male other side?
Heard they big fry give off chemical to slow the growth of siblings. Will having adult in same tank be an issue? Plastic partition in between the two.

Wouldn't have thought so as we have partitioned off one of our tanks and have full grown fish and baby fry on the other side and had no problem but it may not be right for all fish

Re: day 1 of breeding siamese...
Mmm Betta r funny buggers tho.
Worth a try tho. Even if slows growth down that's fine as I lioke having the babies! Hope to have more in week or two!
Got it planned- male in big tank. Nest in new tank (hope)
And half fry and half male in 2nd tank
Until I get too many male fry I will be good. Hence the jam jar collecting! Hubby complaining as I store then all in top of fridge & they chink & rattle when he goes in it hunting for my choc stash!

Re: day 1 of breeding siamese...
Oh I dunno. Had serious batch of beginners luck last time lol!
Saying that tho must post pics of my male. He muscled up big time and such a deep chest now. Here's hoping!
Re the jam jars- might just keep them there. Warns me when my choc is under attack!

Re: day 1 of breeding siamese...
Good idea that one like lol might have to try that myself, I am sure you won't have any trouble as he is obviously ready as he is building his nest and as you said his body is big so fingers crossed for you.

Obviously he is ready then and the teasing won't do him any harm typical male though lol he will soon rebuild his nest no doubt.
