Apologies for the not so great photos. These fish seem to build their nests in the most inaccessible parts of the tank. Also the male is not particularly comfortable with me being near his fry, so he was understandably not at his best in the below pictures.
There must be something in the water. Along with this spawn, I also have had spawns from my Betta hendra, Betta brownorum and Betta stiktos pairs over the past few days. My group of Betta persephone have also been nesting non-stop since I threw some spare film canisters into their tank. 2/12/2013 06:24:57 am
Hi. I am a Dane looking for betta hendra :) .. I realize you are probably too far away, but I just found your website, and I really like it. I havent read it all, but will definitely look in now and again. Because I am really getting interested in finding some of the small bettas from the coccina group. I love your photos, and looking forward to reading about the different species and your logs.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I am very familiar with the frustrations of being interested in rarer species of fish. It is difficult in a country like Australia where there are heavier restrictions placed on what can and does come in, if you are into something a little more out of the ordinary.
Thanks for answering. In Denmark, a couple of years back, it was impossible to find parosphromenus, - but the last years, - because of more interest its becoming possible. Comments are closed.
