Betta Saturday

Lazy day with the fishies. Woke up to the Betta burdigala spawning again, so that was great start to my day :) Hoping for lots of those guys! They are listed as a vulnerable species, so I hope that I can spread them around to other hobbyists as much as I can. They are too beautiful to lose!
Moved these guys from their little 10 gallon to a more spacious 16 gallon planted grow out today. They are from the spawn 050313, a CTDT x CTdt cross. Unfortunately only a few CTDTs (expected 50%, but Mendelian laws are only probabilities lol) and the best looking CTDT managed to jump to his death despite 2 layers of saran wrap on the tank. I'm still confused as to how he did that...

They now share a tank with several amano shrimps, a monogamous pair of Sterbai, and my little pygmy corey of unknown age, Bundy. I used to have a pair of them called Ted and Bundy, but poor Ted perished a couple months back. Ted and Bundy were a gift made in courtship from my boyfriend very early in our relationship (about 2. 5 years ago). Gentlemen, if you want to win your way into a fish lady's heart, come strolling in with the fish she's always wanted but never been able to get a hold of! These little guys came with me all the way from eastern Washington to San Francisco (and something like 6 different tank moves!) Little Bundy is getting a little stiff in his old age, but I still love him :)
I also managed to jar a few more of the latest PK spawn 040613. Very excited for these guys! So far, only 3 have shown themselves as males, and I have a few more that think they are females. Hoping for a fairly balanced spawn so I can give out pairs lol.
