Round Two!! Finchy + Ruby

This thread has inspired me to try breeding bettas over the summer.

hello there, sometime in the very near future me and hubby want to get a 1 gallon or a 20 gallon for a betta i want to get (dont know what kind yet, still doing the research), and can someone tell me what small fishies can go with a betta and which betta can grow the biggest. In my late 20's to early 30's i had 2 betta (separate times of course) they were with mollies gouramis neon tetras and loaches(the wormy kind of loach) and both bettas lasted for 3 years. and as times change so do fish aggressiveness. and can we put any kind of small barb in the tank.

your loach was a kuhli loach or snake fish

that was an excelent thread. i have almost everything i need for the breeding. my female even got a verticle line after seeing the male for just 4 mins =]. im gunna remove the swordies and envoke the conditions tonight. even though she is purple and he is red i think theyell do something good. shes young too so i expect small numbers of fry.

Can you get a picture of the bottle Ruby is in? It may help her get into spawning condition even better if the ccontainer is largerl. Also it really helps to feed live food, in case you didn't already know.
