Just a bit they are breeding every 3 weeks and i still have the albino female that is almost ready to spawn.

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 11:28

The little fry are starting to turn brown and there yolk sac has half gone. Most of the first lot of fry are going today for £1.80 each. Im going to keep a few and grown them to a couple of inches becuase a few people saaid they would have some onec there bigger.

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 11:39

by **Netty** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 11:47

Will do a little research and find out the best way to send thumbup

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 11:51

Thanks. I know how to package them but i dont know where to get the heat packs from or what company to use. Its still going to be a while before there ready yet.

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

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 13:47

Just a bit. And i still want more females lol

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 14:19

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** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 15:39

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

by **Irish_Lass** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 16:15

Well done you! Nice wee earn. Smile

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 16:19

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** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 17:15

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

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 17:20

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** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 17:24

I'm sure you'll manage somehow. Wink

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 17:25

hopefully. Did you ever find a big tank to divide in the end?

by **Irish_Lass** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 17:38

I haven't looked very hard to be honest Kiz. I checked a local advertising paper which sells everything you could possibly think of. Its just people selling their junk. There were a few tanks but they were pretty expensive, given that they were second hand. I guess I can take my time looking. I'm just not a very patient person.

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 17:42

Fair enough. Im the same if i could do with getting something i want to get it straight away. Ive been fairly luck with finding cheap tanks. Theres one im looking at getting its 126G and only 99p with 2 days left and its right near me.

by **Irish_Lass** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 17:43

I took a quick gander at some on eBay a few nights ago. I couldn't find any in my area. In fact, I couldn't find any in NI at all.

by **kizno1** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 17:55

Hmm not to good. good luck finding one thumbup

by **Irish_Lass** Fri 2 Jul 2010 - 18:06

Cheers pet!

by **Netty** Sat 3 Jul 2010 - 0:24

We always get our heatpacks from ebay as they are usually cheaper than the shops. There's a couple that do really quick delivery so I'll see if I can find their names for you Very Happy

by **kizno1** Sat 3 Jul 2010 - 0:26

Thanks. Now there in the big tank they should be ready in another 2 or 3 months by that time they should be around 2" and ready to sex.

by **kizno1** Sun 4 Jul 2010 - 20:08

The male bn has desided that hes only going to watch the cave at night and in the day spend his time at the other side of the tank. So all the fry keep escaping and judging by my banjos stomach i would say there getting eaten. I just looked in the cave and out of about 100 theres only 25 left. So im going to put all the ones left into a breeding tap.

by **kizno1** Sun 4 Jul 2010 - 20:18

Ive got 30 in the breeding trap but theres quite a few floating around the tank but there just so small and delicate i dont want to hurt them catching them. So i think there will be 1 very fat banjo tomorrow unless they find there way back to the cave or another good hiding spot.
