I thought I would share our 5 star fighter plakat pair I'll be spawning soon. Just ordered the microworm culture and bbs.
I've been conditioning the pair for just over a week....the female is nice and full of eggs. I have a feeling they'll spawn pretty quick, which is common for fighter plakats from what I've read. When I let them see each other for 5-10mins a day she's showing breeding stripes instantly.
If all goes well I will be adding fries to our 23 betta collection. I'll be busy no doubt...I already am with 23 but it's awesome.
The male is Thai and the female is Viet/Malay. They are 8-9 months old. I also have 6 of Bertha's nephews so I'll be using those guys in a back cross with her.
This is Kong (male) He's 3.5" long total length
This is Bertha (female)
