There are quite a few different types that look pretty much the same ranging between 3" and 10". Thats why i like them they are a good size for smaller community tanks.

The eggs are hatching. Ive put a few of them in a breeding trap because he kept knocking them out by accident.

How many fry do you have now?

by **kizno1** on Wed Jun 30, 2010 7:36 pm

Loads died but i still dont know why i still have about 75 left and all are going strong and getting sold on friday. I also have 25 fry in the 30G because loads got eaten because the male accidental knocked them out the tank and i have about 100+ eggs that hatched this morning.

You're going to have a busy summer kiz! Smile

by **kizno1** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:47 pm

Just a bit. And i still want more females lol

by **kizno1** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 1:19 pm

Theres 25 that are the right size to take back. Plus 6 more but im going to keep them because there really nicely marked so ive put them in the 30G so they have more room. Im going to keep a female out of this lot if there is one and once there big enough netty can have some of these. These the biggest ones so they shouldnt take to much longer to get big enough to post.. Theres still about another 30-40 smaller oes from the first batch left in the 25G 25 of them are going to the lfs once big enough but the others will be up for sale.

by **kizno1** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 2:39 pm

Thats 25 gone for £45.75p so a good price.

by **Irish_Lass** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 3:15 pm

Well done you! Nice wee earn. Smile

by **kizno1** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 3:19 pm

Yh but the tank looks really empty now all the ones lest in there are the small ones. But i still have another 2 lots so its ok.

by **Irish_Lass** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 4:15 pm

LOL Does breeding bettas interest you like breeding the BNs does?

by **kizno1** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 4:20 pm

Ive always wanted to breed bettas but its just having to septate all the male fry that puts me off. Ill give it a go at some point. For now ill stick with my bns and if i can get the 126G ill hopefully be breeding some type of cichlid in there aswell Hopefully sevs if i can get a pair.

by **Irish_Lass** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 4:24 pm

I'm sure you'll manage somehow. Wink
