For Sale/Trade: Plants & Bettas!

[Rcguerra]

That is a really nice fish. Unfortunately, I am trying to avoid red pigments.

[Oohitsae]

No problem. I didn't know you were interested in breeding, that's the same reason why I haven't bred her either yet. Unfortunately that's my only dark colored female right now

[Rcguerra]

No problem. Good luck to you. Feel free to send me a pvt message if you want to discuss betta breeding. I've never done it, but I have been doing my homework since november, I will give it a shot during the summer.

Sounds good! I just started breeding like 5 months ago, but this is my first show quality spawn. The parents are both imports, a blue Dalmatian and a blue mustard marble HMPK fry are 5 weeks as of now and just starting to get their color

[Rcguerra]

The only intimidating part is the first 2 weeks. I am not sure if I am emotionally prepared to handle the feeding in such a delicate eco-system. Do you feed them every 4 hours? Is it enriched with D-complex?

One of the reasons american bettas are so lame is not genetics but nutrition, specially in the formation period. It requires a LOT of manual labor...

[Oohitsae]

I used live plants, and tons of them, so for the first week they were eating infusira, after that I started them on microworms 2x per day and am actually still using them now. They get fed 2-3x per day as much as I can get on my finger at once. They stay alive for 40+ hours so I haven't had a problem. BUT I had a small spawn because I didn't condition at all, because I wanted something small, started with 30 and now am to about 21.

[Rcguerra]

The reason they feed them every 3-4 hours in Thailand has something to do with the develpment of the swim bladder: if the digestive track is too full, they end up not developing the swim bladder.

It sounds like you know what you are doing. I wouldove to see some pictures of the baby bettas.

Mom - she has the x-factor but is just so unique that I couldn't help myself with using her

Wow! Haven't seen any like either of those before. What a great looking pair. Thanks

[Rcguerra]

The male is very impressive! Congrats.

[Oohitsae]

Thanks!
I'll start postig pics of the babies once they get their color more. Keep checking back if you'd be interested in one or a couple. Will be ready at the end of April

[Rcguerra]

If you get a nice female with a non-red halfmoon tail we might do business! My tank for her will be ready on the third week of March, so perfect timing.

Lovely fish!!

[Oohitsae]

java ferns, anarchis, banana plant, giant duckweed, RCS, and all bettas but the cambodian CT are SOLD.

BUT
I do have some water sprite that I have available now! $1 a piece. These are used as floaters, so they are wider rather than tall, but are a good 3" wide and once planted will grow tall! Have about 5 available

[simplicitysarah]

is the cambodian sold?

[simplicitysarah]

I'll take 1-2 sprite if still available

[Oohitsae]

The Cambodian and water sprite are both still available. I am waiting on an order of heat packs at the moment though so I don't know when I would be able to ship. Hopefully this coming Monday, maybe not until the following. If you are still interested PM me and we can talk about payment

[Oohitsae]

Update::

Everything in this thread is officially sold.

If you have already contacted me about an order, I will fill it and ship asap, but will not be taking anymore orders!

I was offered a 50 gallon as a trade for a couple betta fry so I'm going to have to keep all my trimmings to start filling that.

Thanks everyone for your purchases

[SpilNAshlee]

Do you still have any of the female bettas still? I'm really interested in the grissley blue ones but any would do! PM me the details if you could! Thanks!
