 My new wilds Wow,been awhile!I have been wanting for so long to show my new stock! First off,some of you may remember my colony of albimarginatas.Unfortunatly several years ago,we had a horrible snow storm and it wiped my power.They sadly did not make it. Also,we had moved 1200 miles across country,to SC. Fast forward to now,I have a related pair of betta macrostomas,spawning regularly.Also an unrelated pair of betta macrostoma,also spawning.Sadly they swallow every time but they are still very young! Also I have a spawning pair of betta mahachai,and a lot of their offspring! Soon to come,after the hollidays,will be a breeding pair of betta pi and in the spring a colony of betta pictas! Pictures come tomorrow!

| nice job!!! I don't know much about the wild types, can you leave them in the same tank as parents when they grow up or are they the same as all the other bettas?

| Thanks! With most wilds you can raise them in the tank with the adults,but I chose to remove the female early so she would leave the male alone,and then once he let them go I moved im and placed the fry in a livebearer trap,so I can make ure they all get enough to eat.Im slowly adding water to fill the tank up and they seem to be growing at an astounding rate.

| I've never really done much reading up on the wild types, It's an area I haven't gotten interested in YET lol. I haven't been breeding for over a year now, I own my own business, so time is an issue. I have a ton of crowntails and a few halfmoons and one delta that the wife just couldn't pass up lol
