My 8 week old betta

how are they coming on

Greedy little monkeys!
Think may have been good idea to add the guppy fry. Encouraged them to eat more

And no they didn't eat the guppy fry! Added same size fry!

Not like mine lol but they where just born so they would only be tiny

Guppy? Have several batches free in main tank. Since added new female Betta tho lost all the tiny ones. Not a prob as over run with snake skin. Female must be storing his sperm cos lost him with the first batch of infection!

certainly getting big now

Check this out.first look at Pic of the Betta head down vertically, taken & posted yesterday
This is him today. He has changed body colour, has blue edging on fins, neck frill & one hell if an attitude!

Very nice deb

very nice

Did not expect so much of a change literally overnight...

Nope definitely changed a lot they grow up quick don't they

well have no choice but to jar this one now!
i have had him separated in floating tank but....he went a built a little bubble nest!!!
i need to take him out of tank as the others are not growing much now and i think it best to tank him out of their water.
he is like a proper male just smaller. flaring at the ones i think are female etc...even displaying his little fins.

i would separate him now if he he is flaring at others

Yep have took him completely out of tank as believe he stunting the others

Your better off being on the safe side

I did read that they give off a hormone which stunts the others hence the need to keep on with water changes
He is easily double the size of the next one

I have never heard that personally but you never know it might just be true.

12 weeks old. Think I got 4 male 1 female so need to start thinking about finding homes for males!
Here is pic of biggest
Red with black outline to fins & tiny but or electric blue in veins
Still lots of fin growth to come

If anyone is interested let me know tho lorna has first dibs on choice!

they have come on leaps and bounds debs look cracking

Wow deb the difference is amazing can't believe it he looks lovely is he the one you emailed me about?

Yes he is Hun. The others still got bit more catching up to do. Am thinking this one is ready to move on. He in floater in main tank so adjusted to normal temps now
Good eater. Built his first bubble nest already!

He is keen isn't he would love to take him off your hands if that's ok with you?

Sure that's fine Hun he's yours just let me know etc
Here he is with tiny lil bubble nest. His dad was a horny one too!

with his mam and dad's genes he will be lovely

Body size is about the same as my smallest adult female Betta. Fins growing fast. Hope he keeps the black edging as quite unusual
