Bettarazzi Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 It looks like spawning might be imminent if it hasn't happened already. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Still no eggs this morning... I released a bunch of mozzie wrigglers and Inky snapped them all up! They seem to be playing nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 um... which one is the female? One looks like a HM male with some fin damage and one looks like a PK male! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I thought it was a PK male and the HM female had the fin damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Could be. She's a lovely well-endowed female then. My eyes obviously aren't the best. They are certainly not acting like 2 males! :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Haha sorry I should clarify: Sunan is a PK (trad?? not sure) male - he looks black in the video Inky is a lavender female - she looks kinda red in the video. In real life she is super barred-up, hard to see in the video. She is the female on the right in my forum avatar... I have never seen bettas this 'into it' before. I am starting to think all my other males have been TSTB - they have all had time with Inky and they never tried to entice her back to the nest like Sunan is. Or maybe Inky only has eyes for Sunan? She did give the other males a good beating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I just finished separating Inky back into her own tank. Tonight when I came home and checked on them, he was attacking her quite viciously, striking her on the body. He struck at her so ferociously one time that he destroyed the bubblenest while I watched. So, for now, they can have a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 stupid non-helpful moon phase thingy! Moon phase is letting us down!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Should I try again at full moon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin131976 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Did I see lovely long ventrals on Sunan, streaming behind him in the wind... (underneath him in the water )? All the moon talk has made me curious, I plan to introduce my girl to the spawning tank in the next day or so, with the intention of releasing her early next week with the full moon. However, I've not really got any control spawns to match it against, only having had 2 previous spawns from 2 attempts (3 days after new moon and 1 day after full moon). Good luck if you try again :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terribletegs Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Lovely, fat, long ventrals.... he is a very sexy boy! I think I may be buying more PKs in the future... my bigger half Tim says, "Sunan is my idea of the perfect betta, he's just so sexy." Getting the partner into your obsession is always a good idea... I want to try again ASAP, but Inky is my only female and she's all torn up. It doesn't seem to be bothering her much (she still bars up when she sees a male) but I'd like her to heal a little before I try spawning her again. Maybe on the new moon (one week away)?

Chuckie Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 The moon's 69% of full right now. My moon phase tool is on my home computer, so I don't know when the new moon is... is it only a week away? I'd leave them to it if she's only got fin damage and is still motivated.

Bettarazzi Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Full moon is on July 7, 7:22 PM. Next new moon is on July 22, 12:35 PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killimike Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Do you have any photos of Sunan close up, like you do of your other bettas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 You could try when they are ready, or when the weather is stormy as that seems to help :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
