1 mo, pic's coming...

OK

Bloody camera, i spent ages trying to get pic's of this one fish just, and he kept running off, FINALLY he came right to the front of the glass with a perfect pose AND............. Battery died! :@ Grrrrrrrr

o welli got a few ok ones...

the last two fish are my fav's and there upstairs in my room, the others are downstairs,and iv just noticed abit of tail damage on one...

Well, i belive the ones downstairs to be female, besides the one on the right in thei first pic, they seem to get on together with what i beeive to be 1 male and three female, but sayng that maybe he's done this tail damage... as you can see in this pic, although there always together in there little group, rather funny haha.

I think the fish on the right of the first picture will be going to my bro's house next weekends for my newphew, he's mithered me if he could have once sine i spawned the things....

And then im gonna just keep all the other's myself! Altought i think my other brother wants one off me too, i do have anouther male that i havnt got pictures off, his tail got a right battering a little while ago, thinking back, i think it was maybe because he was in with the what i belive to be 3 females and 1 male, they seem happy now, but the two males ould of fort? Well, he' on his own and there all growing back nicly... bless im haha.

I say male/female, but thats me just guessing, so let me know if you think any differnt please :D

Im hoping to have a move around next week.....

I was planning to divide my tank up into three sections again, just over 5 gal each, have my male, and the last two fish in there, then the 4th (what i think's male) In a seperate 5 gal tank i have, Then all my females (what think is 4 with the mother) in anouther 16 gal tank.... thats why i was asking if they could go in yet :/

It will give them all more room i think....

PS i know my typing is shockingly bad here, but im tired, and its a light grey on white when im typing it and i can hardly see it!

:lol!: they are little tikes for getting pics of....gives me a headache everytime I get the camera out!!!

The last 2 pics I would say possibly male but you should have a better idea in a few weeks time when they are grown on more. The last two I think like being upright :lol!: Such different colouring in them too!!!

On the fence with the others though lol I put some pics on somewhere a little bit ago showing how you can see the egg casing in some females. It's a pale triangular shape tapering down to about half way down the body.

well the last two im almost sure are male, as well as the one on the right of the first picture. You can just see there body shapes are entirly differnt from the what i think are 3 female...

the fins are looking diff, if you look close on the first pic, you can see the "male's" fins growing long like it's dad, if that makes sence.. sorry but its too late to think or check up what there actually called haha, im just gonna hope you see what i mean...

Yep...in the first pic the one on the right does look like he's getting longer fins...has a lovely black edging to them too.

Personally I would grow them on abit more before putting the girls in with Mum....she's probably have a field day with them

Yer, i just have the vision on her eating one lol, and she can move i tell ya! id have no chance of netting her up in time!

A few of hem have got black tips to their fin's, deff coming from there dad i think if you look at my avitar pic.

Yep....just like Dad. We've had some before with that edging....I really like how it looks!

Mum would think she was getting the best food treat ever wouldn't she :lol!: Not a maternal bone in her body!!!!

well i think once i have this move around, might have to buy anouther divider tho to keep mum seperate for now, things will be better.

I think mum had an affair, that last fish looks the spitting image of my first betta that passed away, except the baby is a CT!

:lol!: well females have been known to jump in with the males and spawn when they feel like it!!

lol! yer iv heard that before.....
