Antichton Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Caught my badids spawning last spring and saw 2 fry a month or so after that. They've spawned again this year, currently raising 3 little guys/girls. Here is big brother with one of the new fry. Just thought I'd share, first time I've caught my fish spawning (usually I just find fry when I clean the tank). Hopefully at least one of the 3 new fry is female, my current female is getting older.

Streetwise Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Those are fish I hope to keep. Great to see your progress! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antichton Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Yeah, they're great little fish! Very adaptable but a bit difficult to feed. I have not convinced mine that dried food is edible yet, but they do take frozen food if I dangle it in front of them to make it look alive. Hope you can find some soon! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Do you have any more photos of your Scarlet Badis? One of my LFS can get them, and I have been thinking about them a lot. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory was that they were picky eaters but otherwise easy to keep. I don't remember breeding them. If I did I don't remember it. I think they would do very well in the type of aquariums you keep that is small, natural, plenty of cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
