Najoha Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 On the road trip with Di, I picked up a few fish from Lisa. How is this for a jar of lollies!!! Have jarred them all now and have some beautiful males and females in a rainbow of colours. This was how we transported them home . I am trying to take picks that will do them justice but they are so lively and way to fast. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Yes they were sweet little fish. Actually I made an interesting the other day discovery with one of the fish I got. The red eyed white CT fish is completely blind . Ah well, that just makes him extra special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbies Betta Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 gorgeous. well done Lilli on raising such classy fish I really really REALLY like that green one :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najoha Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Phil I've kept the 3 I picked on the day and 3 females. 3 others are making themselves comfortable in roomy quarters and Di has eyed of a couple, but the rest have been sold for wholesale prices to Lfs and approx. 20 are jarred to grow or the cream are waiting to see how they sprouted. I kept these aside after your disaster to see if you wanted any... but you don't like coppers now Send me a pm if you want any By the way the above 2 fish are male as were about 30% of the jar. about 10% are still of unknown gender.

Chuckie Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 :(( They turned out so nice! A bit of TLC is a wonderful thing. ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 That is a beautiful colour on that green, are you keeping the copper male above and are there copper females? One of my favorite colours is Black copper red and i was thinking since they are black copper geno i could work some red into them. But if not is fine, but its good to see them sprouting and your great pics ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettabegood Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Very nice fish and gorgeous colours; I'm not normally a fan of coppers but that first "girl" is stunning. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
