What else do you breed?

Me after years being out of fish I decided to breed betta again (Show Betta), how about you what do you breed aside from snakes.

Rabbits and goats.
If my goldfish would spawn, I'd keep a few.

Deb, those are gorgeous! Are you going to enter them in any shows?

I don't keep anything else but my roommate has a thriving ant colony. :rofl:

I don't breed anything as stunning as those bettas, only dermisterid beetles for future skeletal taxidermy whenever I get round to actually doing it

Thanks, no I don't plan on entering shows with those, just a side breeding project, and like everything else I breed I try to breed quality....definitely not your average Walmart or Petco Betta.

Woah, those are awesome bettas!

I bred guppies a few years ago, but it only lasted a couple years. Apparently I got breeding stock that has already been in-bred for a few generations, and they produced small and unhealthy guppies.

I kept a 50gal display tank, a 10gal breeder tank, and a 5gal fry grow-up tank. This is my display tank, but it's gone through a lot of tear downs and re-scaping... Here are the best couple setups.

And a bad photo of the kind of guppies I was breeding.

I used DIY co2 for this whole 50gal, and it did have a visible effect on the plants, though not as huge as pressurized co2. I only just tore down my 50gal for good one week ago, after running it for 6+ years, and moved my group of harlequin rasboras and zebra danios into a new 25gal setup similar to this one.

I breed feeder guppies, meal worms, Madagascar hissing roaches,blue apple snails, rats, ducks, pigeons, rabbits and guinea pigs

Stunning bettas and beautiful lil guppies! Interesting how many of us also like fish!

I used to breed South American Cichlids (Red Devil, Jack Dempsey, Dovii) but gave up those to focus on the snakes a while back.
some old photos!

that male was so gorgeous and impressively huge (aggressive too). Here's a shot of him in the 240 gallon with the female.

Love the Red Devil :love:

Funny thing fish were the first thing I ever bred as a kid some many many moons ago (my parents were avid fish keepers), and if it was not those first breeding experiences of fish I am not sure I would have transitioned and bred other animals.

Nice tanks, guppies have a special place, first thing I ever bred in my life.

Those bettas are super gorgeous.

I don't breed anything at all, I want to get into little seahorses. 😁
