When we thought to give breeding a rest, an offer comes from KL, his partner BR, and their friend JN, to help them out in breeding quest - something similar to CBS, but confined to them ;)
They offered a very nice deal. We've got to choose a new set of breeders (and current breeders that we have; something that *they* and *us* like), they pay for the costs, they have all the tanks prepared, and we come once a week to see how they go with the fish (simply because they're in a short driving distance from us).
The reward for us would be up to 20% of the fry produced ;) We'd rather have some best pairs from the spawn than that kind of number of fry, nonetheless it's still nice gesture...
Given we don't have much of the time to care for any of our fish, it's refreshing to know that we still can breed bettas despite they're not "our own".
They have large tanks, it's a little bit worrying on the very large number of spawns and fry to be produced, but they seem to be committed to it and in their own words "we've got plenty of time to prepare for the foods".
We have chosen 3 males and 3 females for them coming on the next shipment - mixture of HMPK and HM giants (geno at least). Pending all is ok, the breeding should start in a few weeks time.
Pictures coming soon, once all has been confirmed.
