It seems every time I look into my Betta uberis tank, I discover another one of their offspring swimming around. They've only spawned perhaps a handful of times since recovering from velvet, and until recently I never saw any of the fry once they left the nest and became free-swimming. Nowadays, I have a (very) small hoard of Betta uberis juveniles that wait for me at the front of the tank every time they see me come into my fish room. Unfortunately, my male is quite aggressive towards his offspring, so they are much more cautious around their parents than young fish in my other tanks. This makes photos difficult and the above was the best I could manage. Because this tank is only small, and because my male is so territorial and aggressive, I will be moving the entire F1 group to a tank of their own, once they are big enough. At the moment, I can only correctly sex the male in the photo above. I'm hoping there's a female in the group so I can work with this line further, as I likely won't be importing another pair of Betta uberis, and the majority of fish in Australia are from a different source to mine.
