My 8 week old betta

Finally got some decent pics




Early days but think I can see both male & females in there
Colours starting to show too

although these are 8weeks old they are measuring on the scale at 6weeks on size. could be due to my inexperience more than anything else. dont mind as i am in no rush to see them grow asap. although i am eager to see what sexes i have so i can plan whether or not i can get another adult male!
i can use one or more tank seperator and have quite a collection of jars, i would really rather keep them in filtered heated water if possible.
i am really glad there are only a few of them as it was a nice easy intorduction to how to handle the fry. soon a large batch will come along and maybe i'll be able to use this experience and not have huge losses. then again i wouldnt know what to do with a full size batch...id have jars all over the house!

Looking really good there deb and all the experience is invaluable can't wait to see what colours they turn out.

its not showing on the pics for some reason but i can clearly see red fins. couple of them have much darker longer ventral fins. suspoect these might just turn out to be males. these also have bulkier bodies than the others.
they could just be more developed. dont really mind but would love at least one male as offspring from my lost red fella.

Not surprised as a male would be a lovely reminder of dad

very true. you looking for male or female from this batch? i know you have loads of males but it would be cool to watch them grow those lovely fins...

It certainly would let's just wait and see how many of each you get first though if that's ok

one of the bigger ones with more finnage is turning red. it has started to colour from its nose up and over irs back. its fins are already much more colourful than siblings.
loving the way they are developing almost in front of my eyes!

Amazing how it changes glad to hear they are doing well

Just 2 days since last pics posted!

That is a massive difference they are definitely looking really good deb won't be long now before you can tell which one's male and which one's are female

I can't believe how different in just 2/3 days!

aye the do change quite quickly

I know it's amazing isn't it

yea it sure is

It's given me a lift in spirits as not expecting much from latest batch. Think male ate them possibly. He did need a lot of prompting from the female first to mate & then to collect eggs. Maybe better next time round.

Really sorry to hear that deb but you never know they may still be there I know how it feels if he hasn't eaten them as I was gutted when it happened to mine but they may just surprise you

He's ignoring the nest completely. Think I should remove him?

I would keep him there just in case they are still alive personally but it's up to you really

Had to separate them today as bit too much agression going on

Wow they have shot up deb

Growing daily!

massive difference in size you don't realise how quick they grow

Coming up to 10 weeks old.
Glad they finally catching up.
Think I may end up with a few males at least 3 look likely. Unusual colouring for make veils if they don't get redder bodies. Am trying to avoid jarring them as there only 5 but they keep escaping! Determinedlittle buggers!

obviously take after there mam lol glad they are coming along well
