les Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi Ness I ment to ask you what is the volume of the bottle you are holding up and at what age (stage) are they placed in them and then at what age are they moved on I know I have a lot of questions but I have a chanc at placing an order for flint glass bottles (like the ones you are holding) and they would take up less room than what I am using at the moment Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Hey Les, They pop them in there from around 2-3 months, depending on aggression, and I believe after 6-12 months they're either sold or housed in around 1-2 litres to encourage flaring and exercise.... i'd say they're around 500-800ml? Keep in mind that it's 30+ degrees there, so heating isn't an issue - but the clever cuts on the side are a great way to do fast multiple water changes. -Ness Edited August 3, 2011 by melbournebetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
