briztoon Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hey guys, I was wondering what size containers people use to jar their growing male bettas? Do you use plastic or glass? I was wondering if something like this would be suitable? http://www.silverlock.com.au/2lt-square-110te-po86-jar-clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_and_a_day Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 most people use beanie boxes, but that looks fine :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briztoon Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yeah I've read and heard that. I wanted something that is a bit wider, and not as tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_and_a_day Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 if these jars are wider, then i'd say they'd be even better than the beanie boxes. plus they seem to come with lids so you wouldn't have to worry about them jumping out, just poke some air holes in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I use Aqua One barracks (x2) and coke bottles for extras. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briztoon Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I have thought about a barracks, but figure that if I am (ever) at the stage where I need to jar fish, I'd rather have a couple of tubs full of jars and save tank space for my breeders. Jarring after all will be for growing out boys who are to cranky to grow out in a community tub. Yeah I am thinking (way) ahead. But I already have about two dozen wild fry, so I'll see how I go with my fancy pairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2littlerevheads Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I have barracks in a big tub so they stay warm . I have on 3 and one 4 and a 2 in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNgo2006 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 My fry are at the stage where they are beginnin to fight so I have to think of jarring too real soon. They are only 6 weeks old and are starting to fight more and more especially at feeding time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 That jar doesn't seem that much different to a beanie box. I wish there was a beanie box that stood horizontal rather than vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninoid12 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I had a massive spawn of over 300 once, and although the duck got a lot of them, the rest ended up in those throwaway plastic picnic cups! I had the room heated and did 50% wc every 2nd day. Cardboard dividers were removed for about 1/2-1hr a day. They all lived happily and healthily believe it or not, until they were sold. Some ppl on here that have bought from me might remember my bookshelf of fish? Lol But those containers look fine. I'd use them, and I'd wash thoroughly with salt water before you use them. But I guess this is an old post so who knows how it went lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
