Zeitgeist shrimp farm - babies are hatching!

psybock · 06-01-2009, 03:18 AM

Albis are very pretty, I have their counterpart, Betta Channoides and when in full color they are very striking. I find that even though they need clean water, they hate large water changes...so in that respect do small WCs often (like maybe 10% every week) and they'll do well. They do love to hide however...

thanks for the info! do yours breed often?

psybock · 06-02-2009, 04:06 AM

The original pair bred about every 2 or 3 weeks, that is until the female was apparently abducted by a UFO. Never found a body or skeleton, she was there one day and not the next...took down the entire tank and couldn't find her...but of their broods I was able to get another few pairs, to which I sold off all but one pair and currently trying to get them to spawn for me...
