    Thanks @Marius SwartI had a male(the one in my avatar) he bred with female 6. But then he jumped out into the females tank. They beat him up...The purple and blue male bred with the black dragon female but he also died. Their fry are white with red fins and other are blue bodied and red fins. Maybe they are dragon scales. Can`t tell yet.I am planning to breed the butterfly male with black dragon female...

    I am almost certain the ones with the blue bodies are dragon scale! It would be interesting to see how a blue bodied red (or dark pink) fin fish would look like. When they are big enough I will breed them with their mother.

    My please @Polla

    Yesterday I got three new HM males.
    I got a pineapple
    A blue, black and green one (very beautiul)
    and last a blue bodied yellow fined one.
    I am exited about the greenblue one. I will try to spawn him with my black dragon female. The pineapple wil be paired with one of my yellow CTs. The blue bodied, yellow fin also will get a yellow female to spawn with

    The greenblue black one is in the spawning tank with my dragon scale plakat female. HE made a nest and all. I realese the female. First he flare and then later started to nip. Luckily no serious damge. Hopefullt these wil breed within the next few dats.

    Pineapple is with a Yellow CT female. Hy flare & blow bubbles but no nest yet. I also had not yet realese the female. Will release her tomorrow.:D

    Rooivlerkie - here goes, the 3 juvi's are still swimming and doing well...

    to give a estimated size is a thumbsuck I guess... The larger one is +- 9-10mm in size and then the teeny ones are even smaller - around 6mm I guess...

    Will update you on their development - they are a treat tho... My daughter is in awe...

    Thanks @KhalidUnfourtanly I don`t have good news. A lot of my bettas died the last few days. I don`t know why. THey just .seem fine one day, ill the next and dead on the third day. And my fish did not even spawn! They just embrace a few times and then seem to lost interest.I lost one on my yellow females, my red half moon male, my white CT male, my green and blue half moon male and my blue and yelliw. HM male. My blue veil tail is suffering from dropsy. I am almost sure he is going to die. I just don`t know why they got sick. Anyway I move them to a clean tank ect, and they seem better. The pineapple male is still happy he is in the breeding tank so I do not worry about him.Now I will just wait and seeMy fry are doing great! I notice some dragon scale Crowns! Blue bodies! I think they are crown tail plakats...

    So after these loses I tried to spawn my pineapple. But he simply won`t spawn with the yellow female... (sigh)Then I remember my dragon black female. She is almost always eagter to spawn. SO I remove yellow female and put dragon black in. The spawn but by the next day the evening the male had ate most of them. I only saved one egg which did not survive long. Then I decide to give them another try. So today they spawn again! Ya!!! I removed about 20 eggs incase he decides to munch into them again. The other is still safely in the nest.... I am so happy. Maybe this time he will care for them. ...

    @Rooivlerkie you need to check you PH of your water, you are losing far to many fish, this is most def a water quality problem, please post a full shot of your tank, with water paramaters so we can help you, its not fun to lose so many fish, and aventually you are just going to lose interest.

    P1150571.jpgI will be filling it up with more water soon.
    The temp is about 26C.
    I can`t check the PH for the meter`s battery is flat.
