In that case we should keep track of how easily this line spawns. We might be able to transfer that trait.

It’s been a long time since my last spawn. Everything was just getting too much for a while there. Quite a while. More than three years. It’s good to be back. The parents of this spawn were bred by Shane and Joel of Betta Spectra. I’m told to expect a lolly bag. Pair introduced very late at night on Wednesday 17/10/2018 after only about 3-4 days conditioning. Didn’t use a chimney they were in adjacent tanks and I simply uncarded them. They were put together before I went to bed and the lights turned off. It had been raining for a couple of days and the moon was in its second quarter. Not sure exactly when they spawned. I only noticed the eggs on Friday night and there were tails on Saturday. Made a little YouTube to celebrate hahaha.

Sorry. Yes, it’s been pretty inactive here. For what it’s worth (probably not much) you’re approved now.

Hi Granberry Welcome to the forum

Welcome back! You should try to get to the Brisbane Betta Breeders show on April 24th. Here's a link to the Facebook event. https://www.facebook.com/events/594982370666375/?action_history=null&ref=4

Welcome FantasyFish. I'm sure you'll find plenty of information to get you on your way. So many of us started here. 

Oops sorry for the slow approval Clare. Welcome to the forum.

Hi Courtney Welcome to the forum. It starts with one then turns into an addiction. LOL

Welcome Masone. You're very lucky with being able to raise tropicals outdoors. Good luck with the spawns.

Welcome Bonsai. Congrats on the spawn!! Looks like you're well on the way in this fascinating hobby!

Welcome Becca. You don't have to actually suck on the airline. I usually fill the airline with water from the tap, pinch one end closed so that the water doesn't drain out. You then put one end in the container while still pinching the other end, then drop the pinched end into a bucket, unpinch and it should start to flow.

Welcome Daniel. Not sure who's breeding Channoides at the moment. Good luck with the search. 

Welcome Kelvin! New setup sounds great. 

I prefer to use standard tanks just because I like the flexibility of choosing what I put in there. But I admit there are some very attractive tank packages available. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the filter flows of the newer ones. Depending on the type of filter you might be able to modify the outflow to diffuse it. Heavily planting the tank can also create enough quite resting places.  I don't like tetras with bettas. I find them to be fin nippers. Better companions are corydoras. Some of the smaller varieties are very cute. I've heard that rasboras might be less nippy but I haven't tested this myself.
