Betta Ocellata Sexing

[Mudskipper]

Hmm if they are 2 males i dont mind trading with you the female for a male. Yup my adult pair are quite shy constantly hiding but quite active during feeding time. Maybe they require more plants.
Yea I have ocelleta but it's a trio 1 male 2 female.

Aiyah...why not 2 males and 1 female? hahahaha. Anyone have a male? Anyone?

I will try to get photos this weekend. Alternatively, I will see if Johannes can help me ID. *hint*hint*

I have a pc but if Patoti can join in? hahaha

[Mudskipper]

LOL! Bro, you Patoti that jumped, was it male or female? I wonder..is it males that jump more?

I did try to get photos of the enisae this weekend but wasn't quite able to...too much reflection. I think they are a pair lah, the male has a lot of blue and the black bar on the tail and the lower fin (what do you call it?) is very dark and thick. The female has much less blue and the bar on the tail is very thin. She does have blue sparkles on her entire body though, which makes me wonder.

Anyhoo...I am going to try to get in touch with Hermanus in Jakarta to order stuff. Hope I hear from him soon, I sent an email via his website already.

I heard that unimaculata complex betta are very good jumpers.. they will jumps out from any part of the tanks. So usually the tanks will be covered fully with netting.

For Enisae, the best bet is still ask the seller how to sex them.

Hey Bro count me in for another pair of Mac and unimac if you are placing an order.... let see if we can get a better price for this....

[Emokidz]

Oh I tried emailing hermanus last month through his website for some species from the coccina group. No reply as of yet.. If you do get through and going ahead with the order, could i place an order with you guys? Definitely willing to share the freight costs etc.

If you want a pair of Macs, Johannes has some for sale at a really good price. I'm more than likely getting a pair from him too if he has any left when I'm ready. You might want to PM him.

Hi Bro Mudskipper, PMed you regarding the Ocellata. And this list looks great!
I'd like to get 2 pairs of persephone (or a trio if he sells in trios) if we go ahead with the order.

[Mudskipper]

You know what, I think we should start a new thread. Let me get that going tomorrow...have to run out for dinner now.

Sexing enisae is quite simple. Female is usually more drab not as colorful as the male. Could be a female just wait and see how it turns out.

[TanCH]

o.O Faster start a new thread. I am interested in that list already! LOL!

Thanks, bro. I think it is a female. She is much more drab than the male and only colours up when I put them together. She's very aggressive though.

Nice set up bro Mudskipper!
Good looking B. ocellatas there. Next time get more than one pair as back up la... they look nice in comm tank too!! haha

By the way, post your B. enisae pictures in another thread la...

[Mudskipper]

Thanks, Johannes. I miss the male, man. He was so docile and beautiful. I bought the only pair they had left at Aquarama. I should have bought both pairs of unimacs and enisae. But I know 900801 has a female enisae...must find a way to get him to sell her to me! HAHAHA! Maybe take him to dim sum.

Will try to get the enisae pics and post them in a different thread. Don't worry, lol.

BTW...do you have lobang for 2 ocellata males?

[nature beauty]

Mudskipper@ I think i can grab your Patoti Male, My Seen to be a girl^^ Also had talk to Johannes but currently no more left liao......

[johannes]

I am pretty sure Hermanus is able to sell you 2 males. He is quite flexible.
I am going back to Jakarta end of July, i can help you all bring back the fishes. Let me know..

[Mudskipper]

WOO HOO!!!!!! Happy Birthday to me!!!!! My birthday month and new fishes!!! WOW! Thanks, Bro. You're the man!
