Thanks for sharing. I hope you get lots of beautiful Bettas out of that spawn. At what age do you have to start separating the males?

What a neat video. It is really neat to see the male taking care of them. He is beautiful too. I could also see the babies you mentioned move. That is really cool!

Neat video. I had read about the male wrapping himself around the female like that, but it is pretty cool to actually see it.

Believe it or not female guppies have the ability to store sperm for more than one pregnancy. If there is no male around this enables them to continue to reproduce a while longer. This is what you are experiencing.

oh how neat! i have guppy fry from her last one. so this time i think im just gonna let nature take its course, if any survive then thats great if not, then the other fish will have a good meal ( i know that sounds bad but what am i gonna do with more fry, i have no more room)

Wow, they look great! About what age do they start to develop more color? Actually, what is their approximate growth rate in weeks? With angelfish we use sizes like dime, nickel, and quarter. They grow at different rates though so averages work best.
