Many updates...tons to write!
The fry have been fed a mix of microworms for the first little while then started on BBS. I do still add some microworms for the smaller ones, which works out well.
The first spawn (July 1st) ended up with 10 - 20 fry, which I am certainly not complaining about. lol Separating the males is touch with the larger spawns!! With frequent water changes, it does get to be quite a bit of work with a lot of males. The females can be kept together.
I did spawn them a second time, as I was hoping for a larger spawn. That turned out very well, and on July 24th, there were new eggs in a bubblenest! This spawn turned out very well, the 2 'parents' made it in very good shape (you wouldn't know that they were just in the breeding tank), and a good amount of fry came out of it.
The best I can describe them is swimming eyes with bellies and tails. LOL
Pics:
Older fry: (hoping to take more pics tonight! lol most were blurry)

Oh yes! It is a red/blue dragon HM (halfmoon) pair from a registered betta breeder.
