Congrats!!

you spawned a veiltail? Well, congrats, that is really exciting

and sorry to poop your party, but what do you plan to do with all the bettas, do you have the facilities to even breed them. Once the males start to grow they will all need seperate tanks. And besides, veiltails are not in that high of demand seeing as how they are th most common. No offense or anything, and dont take this as an attack towards you, i just wonder about things.

Yeah i wonder at what age the males will start to get aggressive towards each other

Congrats! It is exciting! Now the hard part begins.

Actually, there have been people who have experimented with how long you can leave the males together. It seems like they're okay together for a long time, but if you take a male out and try to put him back in just a minute later, he's a goner. But most people do separate them. I forget what the typical time recommendation is though.

And I'm sure Gloomy has thought all about arrangements for the babies (I hope, at least). You don't wind up with accidental broods like you do with guppies. This was deliberate. Lol, and people always say that there's a low demand for veiltails, but how many of us here have one (or three )?.

I work in a deli...so I got about 200 2lb plastic containers w/ lids for when they get older....This is actually a double tail pair...Not quite sure if the fry will be vt or double tail...A lot of them will be gifts...(to approved homes with suitable equpment)...and er...turtle food...This was just a test run before I get myself a nice fancy pair.
They are in a 38 gal cube now...so there is lots of growing room...

Congrats! I had two spawnings of my veiltails over the summer...some of them died but i had a lot that lived! except my grandma overfed them while I was on vacation and only one survived..then it got out of the container I had it in and got eaten @__@ I was so sad..but it lived to be almost 2 months I felt proud!

Good luck with yours! I hope you have better luck than I did X.x hehe
