zacy boy Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hey guys, I recently bought a royal blue halfmoon pair, immediately after I bought them I noticed they where interested in one another and so I thought I would give breeding a shot, needless to say, after the first week my bettas had mated and I had approximately 100 fry hatch shortley after. I am now hooked aha, and have recently just bought a pair of black copper dragon hm pk and was directed to ausaqua by a friend . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Hey Zac, Welcome to the party, they're pretty addictive little fish I must admit. We'd love to see some photos, but to show them on here, you have to have them hosted elsewhere - photo bucket is the easiest to use as you just click on the direct link to make pics appear in threads: Hope you find the forum handy. x Ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hi ZacyNow yo Welcome to the forum and I am sure you will get a lot from this site.

zacy boy Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Heya, I jus re cultured my microworms, do you find they are the best food to feed the small fry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hey Zacy I use wardleys liquid fry food four the first couple of days then move onto MW but I get them on to grindels as soon as posible. Lots of people use BBS but I must admit I dont have much luck wwith them so I dont bother but if you are tring to hatch BBS then get fresh eggs I think Morley has them fresh regulerly. hope all goes well with your spawns Cheers les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacy boy Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 This is going to sound terrible,m haha but what are grindles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hey Zacy No it dosnt sound terible. They are a small white worm that can be culture for fish to eat, you can culture them in a soiless culture or in core fiber / peat, some people feed them fish flakes but I feed mine high quality cat biscuits, the ones that have the highest protein. I find that feeding this way and combined withfrequent water changes I get good growth and healthy fish there are some threds on this forum for culturing grindels have a look , also you might want to check out some of the threads on raising fry. once you have done that if you would like a culture to get you going let me know and I will give you one OK Cheers les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
