gnasher16 30,057 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Like most other things mate todays siamese fighters are a long way from what they used to be,although they are kept seperated in jars in shops you shouldnt have a problem keeping more than 1 in a community tank.Had the odd one myself in the past only the little tiger barbs nip at their fins ! More into discus these days myself f*****g expensive though !! Show us a pic of your beta,s then mate fine looking fish alright. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GAZCO 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yes i used to keep them,and the first time i bred them it was amazing to see[the bubble nest and the tiny fry] the male looks after the eggs and fry and any that fall out of the nest he lifts them and puts them back in.

JordKil 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Is pretty cool when the male watches the fry. I keep all of my males in seperate jars and females in community tank. Heres a few pics not great but theres more in the camera (if i can find it) The red one is you typical pet shop shite and died within the week while the rest were bought from an old friend that has some of my 'line' from years ago. Red Veil (petshop) Red Crowntail (wasnt well in pic as was stressed from travelling) Sapphire blue/green Crowntail Short veil White and blue (my own line from a fighting male I used to have...hes a shit fighter though lol) And a big massive veil from a specialist hes nice Also there is gravel in the pics but I took it out now lol Cheers Jordan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
