So the pair of Betta Schalleri I bought from the OVAS auction just had babies!

I removed about 15 little ones.

Too bad I have to have had them (the parents) 1 month before the fry in order to qualify for BAP.

Here are pictures of the babies I pulled from papas mouth.

He had about 40 - at my last count, and is currently holding more eggs.

They are currently eating paramecium on a drip, live BBS, and crushed flakes.
