Oh!

Guess you don't really want these fishus passing on their dumb genes anyway... which pair is this?

My Apache CT pair (the yellow boy and the lavender/yellow girl) They are too pretty not to try. I've ripped out the bubble wrap (eggs have been eaten) and put in a half cup. He's made a half harted attempt and blown about a dozen bubbles under there...)

Oi yes, hopefully they'll get some sense!

Sounds like it might be OK though. GOOD LUCK! :)

Not really. Fish are spread between 3 rooms in 2 seperate buildings. The fry are in the main house in a spare room, so can shut that off. I plan to try and insulate all tanks on 3 sides and top with polystyrene...

I know what you mean Jarrod, i have four tanks with lighting and heaters and my partners reef tanks got a huge massive light thats on 10 hrs a day plus a constant heater and all the other goodies in the sump running plus the normal house power urgh

Hahahaha.... I run 45 heated tanks.... I am definitely not liking all these power increases mate! I feel your pain my friend! ;)

Welcome to the crazy club good sir. You'll love it!!

I don't really see it as extra work, until I have to jar and keep jarred juvies warm over the winter months...

Thats the part I'm not looking forward to.. XD

Ct spawn sounds exciting, that pair is stunning!

Thanks guys. He was getting on - 16. He was with me through 3 moves, several breakups and always managed to put a smile on my face. He will be sadly missed

I'm glad to here you got a solid 16 years out of your friend mate...However I know I would be absolutely devastated if my cat died!! My condolences mate!

aww sorry to hear it Jarrod.

This is so much better than the original...

This makes me wonder what Jarrod does in his non-fish time..

What? do people have non-fish time? Who are they and what do they do?

I need to get my barracks fixed before mine arrive eek! I figured out how I need to do it, just need the weld on :)

I was going to fix the dividers onto the aquarium glass, but find that they are snug enough of a fit to stay in place. The gravel holds the bottom in place too. got an internal filter with a spraybar in there. Water movement isn't affecting the dividers either :)

What are you using for dividers Jarrod?

A little jealous! Don't think mine will be coming until next shipment, now :(

Bwhaha.. was absent mindly doing the badger dance the other day, this person (who doesn't know it)... was like what are you DOING!?!?! I'm like badgerrrrr. I was err, supposed to be doing ninja stuff. Ninjas need to have their disguises and stuff, right?

So exiting!!!! Yep, tahnks for letting everyone know to wear ear muffs, could cause damage

I was doing it on the train, very strange. Benn talking about the bettas at school to, everyone is sick of them :P

...betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta... HALFMOON, HALFMOON!

Snail! it's a snail!....

That sucks mate. How long till next shipment? How goes all your fish anyway mate? I hope all is well. ;)

All is well here mate. New fry in the spawn tank, new imports on the way. They ones that were held up will probably get here in just over a month...

Good to here you fry in the tank mate!

So once you finally get your new imports, how long will it have actually been waiting now? I 'spose the wait will make it all the more worthwhile, 'eh?

I didn't see teh apache's in store but I saw them on youtube, the blue one would be good to cross into your jewel box strain :P

The blue marble dragon is on hold already!

Oh wow, that was quick! i was thinking of getting him if I didn't get teh apache boy. I have e-mailed someone to hold him for me and if I can buy the orange dragon girl :)

I won this time I'm so exited :P

oops, not 1st, there can only be 1 *LOL*

Nobody will want to make the 99th reply! lol

Bwhaha.. I had a dream the other week that I had an Oscar, it was with my female Bettas and they were picking on it so I had to remove him. Anyways, he was floating inside a Chinese container, and when I got up I went to put him into another tank so the girls would stop bulling him (yes, the Oscar). Then I realized I didn't own an Oscar.. :P

Hey shadoh, completely unrelated- but have you read American Gods?

No, I haven't. Is it a good read?

Love and kisses

Thanks guys. He's eaten his first meal in 3 days and has managed to keep it down so far... Had a couple of BIG drinks of water today, so I don't have to syringe water down his throat to keep him hydrated any more. Early days, but looks like the antibiotics are working.

Good news, then, Shadoh. Hope he is still going well.

Maybe that's what happened to my fry - they dissolved in water...lol

AHHH... DID A SARAH!?!

The male ate them..

Was that before or after they dissolved? ROFL... Sorry Sarah, this is serious. I hope he doesn't eat ur next lot

His tail is alot longer now, not as long as a normal SD though. I just saw him, he looks really nice :)

Photos? lol...

Yes I will get photos, I've been grounded for like 3 ish weeks and have been sneeking on my iPod. Do you know how hard it was to smuggle Sarah those photos? I'm home alone tomorrow though so I will go abit crazy taking them :P

My breeder just got back to me, next shipment not for about 2 weeks!!!! Sooo long

You have a breeder?

The breeder of my pair, should have phrased that better :)

wow.... did you get some cool pics?

There are some photos of the Melbourne Betta Meet here Hood -

Looked like fun.

cheers sarah!! ;-)

Just went to buy the yellow marble plakat I posted the link to yesterday, but auction was over without a bid. Sent breeder an email anyway to see if he had matching female and if he would re-list/sell...

Yay! Still available and has matching female... Just sorting out price :)

Good luck, he was a stunning colour!

Still can't see a single fry. I know some could be hiding, but I know my setup and know I should be able to at least see a couple of fry swimming around.

PS FlameDragon: Too late for the greys, I'm afraid... Shaved off my beard a few weeks ago to hide the fact it was turning grey... lol

So maybe I should shave my head...hmmmm...NOPE. Don't stress maybe just shy

Disregard last just read spawn log, sorry xx

Congratulations! I will definatly be buying some if I can get the all clear to build my barracks.

oooo... awesome mate. I can't wait to see how your fry turn out mate. ;)

Thanks mate. Either can I... They take soo long to grow...
