So I finally got my female bettas. It’s a 30 gallon tank, ( not full right now) with 5 female bettas, 9 guppies, and currently 3 tetras. The tetras will go to a friend once she gets moved and sets up her tank. Currently it has 7 potted lillies in it I’m growing to a bigger size, but I’m thinking I’ll eventually turn it into a planted tank, and I’d like to copy Jacks b nimbles riser of plants behind it if I can devise a good way of doing so. A power head with a tube on the outlet will push the water to the top where it’ll be filtered and feed the plants before falling back in. I’ll be breeding the bettas once the girls are bigger, and see if I can raise the fry. The male is in a vase of water for now, he’s a pretty veil tale that’s turquoise and blue. They’ll be bred in my 10 gallon, no worries there. The bettas will keep the guppy population from a massive explosion I’m sure, in fact I’ll be getting more females from my sister. I’m enjoying watching them swim around eating daphnia, starting their posturing, establishing who’s boss. With summer here, I’ve got till August maybe September to keep them fed with daphnia, mosquitoe larva, good foods. Great to raise the babies on.
