lol, thanks, i was going to call him Dark Dreams, then i thought, Nightmare sounds WAY better than that! so i named him that! lol, heres another picture of Nightmare...

 

[squidney101]

wow you have a lot of bettas. I like nightmare, so i think you should breed him and twilight as your first spawn. I always wanted a black betta.

 

[theeyrietrainer]

hehe. well twilight is a steel blue. i got her for free from the breeder, cause she has Black Melano genes and the breeder knows im going to breed, so he kind heartedly gave her to me, he's so nice! heres another picture of her..

I have 14 adult bettas right now. And about 10 or so fry. Ugh, I never want to go past 30 bettas again, lol. When I had 60 bettas it took me 2 hours to clean all the jars.

AH HA! see iggy i told you! i told you! she has more than me! lol. well, IM going to be the one with the troubles of cleaning jars (and you know why alexa) but im trying to get my dad to make a barrack drip system, but i cant find good info on it..

There is a really good description and pics here: http://www.bcbetta.com/fishroom.html

Maybe you could scale it down a lot for a smaller setup. It gives some schematics for the plumbing, etc.

 

[theeyrietrainer]

yeah, i checked that, its the only good, descriptive site on how to make it and how it works. ive been googling it, but theres like no info!

well, saddly, Dyanze the Single Tail Cellophane Male Betta died when i got after school today. poor this starved himself...

 

[mcshell]

beauties!!!
do you have any trouble with the cellophanes in bowls?
after Casper got a minor fin rot in the bowl, Roni seem to have some minor fin rot in the bowl too... Iggy seems to say these light color fin betta can get rot easier than those dark color ones.
so now i'm just keeping Cas and Ron in a floating tank inside my 10gal, so they get better circulation.
i was hoping i could keep all my betta babies too - but i'm not sure if i should put them in bowls

 

[theeyrietrainer]

heh, i have no trouble with Dyanze (or had) and Visidouble. now i have Visidouble, and hes doing great. eating right, swimming well, hes fine in his container. havent gotten any rot on him at all so far, and plan to keep it that way!

Green sunshine is especially handsome.

 

[theeyrietrainer]

thanks ashleigh, ill be sure to tell him that. heres a picture of this chocolate greenie, its with flash, he doesnt look the same though, but then again, this was like, one of the first pictures i had of him!

 

[ashleigh]

Very pretty. So do you breed bettas or do you just enjoy them?

 

[theeyrietrainer]

well i have planned my betta breeding for 3/4 of a year now, so after my exams, i am hopefully, going to breed bettas. im most likely going to breed, Nightmare and Twilight, Salamandice and Nameless, and Flippo and Sapphire, as the first ones. unless i am able to get a nice chocolate female, i would breed Green Sunshine and try and breed out the green cause chocolates shouldnt be green. its sorta like mouldy chocolate *shivers*

 

[ashleigh]

Hmmm. Well, if you can't breed it out, maybe you can think of it as mint chocolate. Much more pleasant than mold.

 

[theeyrietrainer]

lol, well, mint chocolate is green with brown dots, so it would be inverted. i have seen some people with chocolate females, but since they live in the states, i can get them unfortunately but if i gets me an imports liscense in the future, ill be sure to get a chocolate female if Green Sunshine is still around...cause then it'll be a few years later...
