Report on Wednesday, 15.06.11


Big Red-Majority of his fry are already swimming horizontally, but a small handful still require his help to hang on to the bubble nest. I'm estimating and I think that it'll take at most 2 days for all of them to fully mature into free-swimming fry. Then we can remove Big Red from the tank and let him have his well deserved rest(:

MuchoMachoMan-Poor fish, he has the look of a man who has totally given up on trying to keep his kids under control. He has not repaired his bubble nest and only a handful of his fry, those hardy ones, are surviving by clinging on to the sides of the tank:(......Guess its the 'SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST'. Really hope that some of the fry at the bottom of the tank are alive.
Northern Dancer-Northern Lights keeps on hiding from Northern Dancer by swimming into the cabomba plant. Whenever I see her there, she is totally still and the only parts of her that are moving are her gills and fins. Perhaps she's been traumatized by Northern Dancer or perhaps he's been too pushy with her. However, one good thing is that though his bubble nest isn't very big, it is apparent that Northern Dancer has been working on it and it's now around 2-3 bubbles thick.

Sorry, my phone couldn't capture ND properly so I went to search the net for a Betta that looked like him and yeah, here's a Northern Dancer look-alike
