Pair 1 : LM1s.i. vs LF2t.m.
Pair 2 : LM3t.m. vs LF1s.i.
Breeding date: 17/10/2020
TANK: 8"x8"x6"small polystyrene boxes, with 3" RO water .
FOOD: infusoria, artemia and moina
OBSERVATION
Population: Earlier on it was difficult to count the fries, since they like to dart away into hideouts. A rough estimate of 16 and 15 proved wrong. While doing large water change recently, and putting aside ketapang and mahang leaves, and all the plants, the three weeks old fries were big enough for accurate counting. At three weeks old, Pair 1 had 22 babies whereas Pair 2 had 20, which really is at low end of normal betta livida range of fries, between 20 to 50 (refer https://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/betta-livida).
Size: Fries from both spawns are of the same size and both are active.
- out of 22 fries from spawn 1, at any time about half were seen swimming or hanging out at mid level, and the rest swimming at the bottom. They rarely hide under ketapang leaves at the bottom.
- out of 20 fries from spawn 2, only one or two can be seen swimming at mid level, most are hiding under ketapang leaves at the bottom.
During feedings, the first group were at ease, exhibiting hunting skills and show their curled bodies before snapping up the live food. The second group were rarely outside of their hideout, sneaked out to grab food and get back into their hideout.
