. I still have no idea what killed them. I sterilized everything and left them out in the sun for a couple days to make sure any little nasties were killed. I can never stay bettaless for long so I have two new males. Their names are Draco and Nimbus. In the store Draco looked brownish but when I got him home I found that he is really a deep red with blue iridescence with a black edge on his tail fin. Lighting can make such a difference in their colors. I've never been big on red betta's but he's grown on me. His first night here he built a huge bubble nest that almost covered the surface of his tank. Nimbus is "white" with some red and blue in his fins. I think he may have some comb tail blood as well. I'm almost positive he's a spawn sibling to Tink. They are the same color with similar markings and they were purchased at the same place a week apart.
The fry are doing well. I have 10 left and they are growing like weeds. They were 3 weeks old yesterday.
My girl tank didn't work out. I came home one day last week to find Bella torn up. She's fine and her fins have already healed. Feeding them was a pain in the butt. Bella is a glutton and would gorge herself before Tink and Sprite could even get any food. I ended up having to hand feed them and I got over that really quick. So the tank is now divided and everything is much quieter.
Here are some photos of the new boys, Draco's bubble nest and the fry,
