3 week old betta fry :)

[Oohitsae]

These guys are just starting to get their color. I'm so proud of my work! Other than all their first and last rays on their caudal being a bit short they look great. No deformities or anything that I've been able to see! And it's a small spawn so I haven't had to do any culling
Anyways, on to the pictures! Sorry if the tank bottom seems a bit messy in any of them, the tank gets messier faster than I can clean it with all the plant residue dropping.

The last pic is of them at only a few days old. They have grown a lot more than I thought in only 3 weeks!

Also should add that they are HMPK's.

Here are their parents
Mom is the Dalmatian, dads the blue mustard marble type.

congrats! with those parents, the offspring should look fantastic.

Thanks! I'm a little worried because the mom has the x-factor, but they both have such interesting coloring that I couldn't help but spawn them anyways.

This is my first successful spawn so its been pretty stressful, but soon I will hit the 30 day mark and will have only lost 1 known fry

Oh yeah, breeding betta's was seeming impossible to me for a longgg time. Every time i would attempt it would fail miserably. Luckily I have finally found a conditioning method that works for me and hopefully works with everyone else in the future too.

Thanks!


Update:: found 2 more dead yesterday morning. Not sure what happened but I think it will be okay.
