My fry

You would think the LFS's would be crying for you to sell them fish but they always seem to show no interest?

 

Yes some of them do. Here in bfn is two that have bought fish from me so i'm pretty confident that they will still buy. They don't give me that much but its better than nothing. They give me half of what they sell it for.

 

Dude, I would happily take half the selling price. Dwarf gourami are about R40.00 here!

 

I paid r68 for my pair. Then the male died. Got a red and blue male for r30. So ja i guess if i can get 50 or so of the fry raised i can make about r750. Mmmmm

 

What did your original male look like? The dwarf gourami are normally red with blue stripes.

 

1st male looked more or less like this one

the one i got now looks like this but not as bright red

 

The first one is a dwarf gourami. The second one is a sunset gourami. I have currently got a male sunset and a female dwarf which are trying to breed.. My 3 gourami fry are from a dwarf pair.

 

Oh ok didn't know. Then my fry is from the sunset male and dwarf female. Thanks for helping my right

 

Hopefully you should get some with the stripes. Either way they are awesome. Keep updating with pics.

 

HI JUST AN UPDATE ON MY BETTA FRY. 28 STILL ALIVE. 17 DAYS OLD AND ABOUT 10mm LONG.
SORRY FOR CRAPPY PICS

 

I got I fright when I read that. I thought you said 28 Gourami fry! That would have been a horrible post. How are they doing?

 

Hahahah still going but not really growing. They are still very small starting to eat bbs now so hopefully they will grow faster now.

 

I found that initially some of mine grew much faster than others. Apparantly you should seperate the big ones from the small ones to give the small guys a chance to get food. Mine have all pretty much caught up to each other size wise.

 

Hi guys just an update on my betta fry

they are really doing well getting their colours nicely now

 

Nice. How many you got?

 

+/- 50

 

Awesome man. I'm scared to ask but what about the Gourami?

 

Unfortunatly non survived so maybe next time. Any news on your gourami spawn?

 

Sorry to hear that dude. Next time...

Nope. I'm about to give up on these two and just wait for my 3 gourami fry to mature and then try them with my female.
