Added 2nd Marine Betta

[Minh Nguyen]

My LFS got this Marine Betta in last week. He is a very beautiful, healthy MB that is only 2.5 inches long. This is about the length of my first MB when I bought him 4 years ago (now 6 inches). Anyway, I wanted to have breeding units of fish in my tank if possible. I bit the bullet and traded 7 Xenia frags and a Yellow polyp rock for this MB yesterday. 24 hrs in my tank and there is no fighting between the two in my 400 g tank. They don't hang around together either, but I settle for not fighting for now.
Wish me luck.

I have a question for those who are lucky enough to have pair of MB in their tank. Do they hang around each other or do they just get together for mating only? Thanks

there is an article in a British aquarium magazine this month on breading marine betta's. Quite interesting, it has been one of my favorite fish for over twennty years. I did not buy the mag, only read it at Barnes & Noble. I can get more info if you need it
