Matt_95 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Myles, he is lovely. Do you breed them and do you sell any of the fry? I would love to get my hands on a few If you want you can have one of my males when I grow a few up. Soon they will be coming out of my ears. I found the missing fry today, they hang out under the sponge filter in a little crevice in it. I moved it and found them there. I always thought endlers were dumb fish but these fry are quite inteligent. Maybe its just natural instincts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_angel_of_war@hotmail.co Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Nah, I don't breed them, but I do have a few babies of some randoms that are far from pure. I saved them from the yabbies at pet barn. I would love to start breeding fish but I just don't want the hassle of having to sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 So was he from one of her imported trios or the moggie tank? And do you have guppies or endlers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_angel_of_war@hotmail.co Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I have both, I have moggies and Endlers. I would love a pure trio from someone. But, I would use them as show fish rather than breed to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I had another drop of around 6 a week or so ago. The first lot of fry are growing well, at least one looks to be female. I have only been able to see 2 of the first drop the last few days though they now share there tank with cherry shrimp and Paratya australiensis. I have a betta now that is even more fearsome than Jawsette. It's her cousin, I put my hands in the tank to plant some plants abd suddenly out of nowhere there's a betta bitting me trying twisting around. Scares me every time.

les Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi mighty Mat Do you feed your baby cheery shrimp to your Betta. I am thinking of setting up a tank and having a colony of them ther is a guy hear in Perth selling them for a doller les if you buy more than ten. Have you got any tips on how to get them going maby a thread or somthing Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) I used to have a colony of them in my 4 foot but when I got more bettas they all got eaten. You could easily use them for that, although I have some bettas that don't eat them. They are dead easy to breed, some moss and a spong filter and they will multiply before your eyes. I think the best way to breed them though is in NPT, no filter to suck the babies up and a sponge filter wont de-gas all the co2. That is also good because I have found the less waterchanges I do the more babies survive, they have such a low bio load it isn't really needed anyway unless you keep them with fish.
