Breeders' help wanted!!!

We have reserved some pairs for breeding, however there are not sufficient spawning tanks for us to spawn them all. So, we are offering the pairs to you to spawn with the following conditions:

1. we provide 1 pair to you
2. you pay bond money to us for the pair
3. you spawn the pair
4. you get to keep the pair and its offspring
5. at all time, you feed the pair and its offspring sufficient (if not abundance) live food (e.g. live worms or equivalent live food for adults and any fry > 1.5 months)
6. we get the first choice of picking up to 5 pairs free-of-charge from its offsprings at age of 2-3 months old, at which time we will return your money
7. in the event of any fish died or prolonged unsuccessful spawning (e.g. more than 3 months), we keep the money
8. if you decided to cancel this contract then we keep the money but you're still obligated to give us chance to keep up to 5 pairs of its offspring if you were successful in spawning them.
9. you can only use any of the fish to pair it with other fish *after* you've successfully spawn the initial pair (otherwise this contract is considered "canceled" and we keep the bond).
   

The priority is to get the initial pair given to you to be spawned. Once they're successfully spawned, the original pair is yours to keep (feel free to out cross them to any other pairs you have). Please keep the fry from initial spawn separated and recorded such that at the age of 2-3
months we would be able to choose a couple of pairs from them for us to keep.

If you decide not to use the initial pair anymore (whether the spawning was successful or not), give us the first chance to decide whether we'd like to get the fish back without charge.

You may notice that we require you to feed the pairs live food. As much as we like to give you the freedom in keeping and spawning them, we'd like to ensure that the pair and its offspring to be in top condition at all times. If you cannot satisfy this requirement, sorry, you won't be able to participate on this effort.

Bond amount per pair:

• $20 per pair for experienced breeder
• $40 per pair for inexperienced breeder
  

Experience breeder = if you have successfully spawn at least once with 50+ offspring raised to the age of 3 months old on one single spawn.

Inexperience breeder = if you have successfully spawn at least once with 25-50 offspring survived to the age of 3 months on one single spawn.

There are a number of pairs available, we decide the pairing. Contact us if you're interested and we can let you know some combinations of pairings that may interest you and us. If you can help us out in spawning more pairs, then we're more than happy to supply the fish. Let us know your background in breeding to aid in our decision.

Some info about the fish:

• mainly coming from cross of giants
• either HM, HMPK, or the mixture of both (no PK)
• age of 2-3 months now
• may have nip/torn on fins
• colours combination of cambodian red, copper gold, gold, green, intense yellow, and any of their combination/mix
  

As the fish involved at the moment is very young (2-3 months old), you may need to keep them for another 1 or 2 months before you spawn them. We can't keep them in our tanks simply because we don't have enough tanks to keep them all.

There are a number of goals of spawning these pairs including but not limited to:

• large size giant (HM and HMPK lines)
• new/different colour
• heavy branching giant
  

Note that the fish involved here are all breeder-quality fish, therefore only consider this opportunity if you are serious in breeding. If you "just want to start on breeding" or experimenting or could not satisfy the definition of "in/experienced breeder" above, then we suggest you to simply buy the pair. They are available for special price of $60 per pair.

This whole description here is the "contract", if you choose to participate.We're not lawyer, so don't bother to argue on interpretations of the description here, our interpretation is the correct one. Please contact us direct on mybettas at gmail dot com, if any of the description here is unclear to you.

Fish handover for Sydney people can be arranged at very limited locations, otherwise we recommend shipping at cost $20.
