My little brother visiting from NY and I made this clip when we saw these macs fighting in their tank while we were having dinner. Couldn't help it!

Betta person who JUST discovered dwarf shrimp (but have time and space for only very very low maintenance stuff these days!)
These young macs are now 13 months old. I've separated them into pairs, mostly, the ones that I could tell their sex(es). Lets hope they will start breeding. Hehehe. The rest is still in groups.
you got any for sale?
Shrimpin' Ain't Easy.
I got only a few confirmed pairs from this batch. The rest are still hard to sex them. There are definitely more females than males in this spawn. I'm keeping those confirmed pairs for breeding though. May let go some of the others later.

Oh, thanks for asking Troy,
I'll try to snap some photos of the breeding pairs from this spawn. They are in pairs and in their own tanks now.
We want them pictures James. Cough 'em up
Hahaha, I will.
How are your rubra doing?

A little update on this project which is going on for F3 generation of these fish. Here is one of the males from F2 who just released his F3 fry a few days ago. They are now super hardy with the 50/50 RO/tap water of Southern California.
You can see the little fry in the background of the photo.

Hi, do you have extra females for trade? I have extra adult males.

Started this project in early 2015, 4 years later, I am now working into the F4 generation of this. Fish are doing well. I have introduced a couple individuals from different bloodlines to help diversify the gene pool.
The pair below is the stars of the breeding stock. They have successfully spawned 5 batches of fry with good numbers. Fish are spawned and raised in 50/50 treated tap/RO, room temperature, no filters and bare bottom tanks with low light plants.
Spawning pairs are kept in 5 gallon tanks. Fry at different age will be in different tank size or critter containers (the ones I used to keep shrimps in). For grow out, they are in 15-20G tanks.
Wow, thats awesome, loving this random surge in wild bettas
