At Wolves_rock:

Hi there. Tail biting by either the male or the female is just a part of the mating process but usually the male chases the female off after she stops releasing eggs, not the other way around. Typically the female will not attack the male, or work with the eggs other than to put a few back in the nest until she's done laying clutches of eggs. If your male is being submissive toward the female, then you should be using a different pair.

You do know that betta mating starts out violently before the female is ready and that she herself may get quite bitten and that during the process, they wrap around each other and "look" like they are biting each other when they are not. If you separated 2 bettas that were wrapped around each other, you disturbed the egg laying and fertilization process.

I wasn't certain how familiar you were with betta breeding, so wasn't sure if you knew they wrap around each other and fall to the bottom.

For healing, yes, salt seems to be the best, but I wasn't certain what you meant by "barbs""? Did you mean the tail branches? If so, they take longer to heal than if she just bit in between the branches but they will heal. They may never heal fully though or may heal crooked or "kinked".

I'm off to change water, a bi-weekly chore now that I have young fry.

Oh, on a side note, about the Bala sharks, although not recommended for your 29 Gallon now that I'm aware they are schooling fish, I've found they typically they do not exceed 10 inches. I had mine in a 55 with no trouble and he lived for 6 years and got to be about 10 inches (Well fed with a variety of foods including live brine shrimp) until he picked up a rock he couldn't spit out and drowned himself (Or the equivalent that happens when a fish can't move it's gills.) Before he passed, he swam around just fine, could turn around just fine, he never acted as if he were bored or unhappy, and if the 1 gallon per inch of fish standard holds any kind of truth to it, 10 inches in a 55 should have been sufficient. His only tank mates were a pair of angelfish, a few rescue guppies and some Cory catfish. That was eons ago for me it seems.

I caved, I bought the pretty black based grease coat boy I was talking about the other day.
I don't have room for another smaller tank in my house, so he's living in my 55 gal with 6 guppies, 2 platys, a sumo loach, and a dozen or so unknown species fry. He's taken to the 55 pretty well since I put him in yesterday.
My 55 is the one I showed pictures of that's pretty heavily planted and all natural looking.
We settled on the name Alduin since he's a 'dragon' scale and he's mostly black. >.< I've got a picture of him on my phone I'll load onto my computer in a little bit. ^.^

"petco is having their dollar per gallon sale"

I have 100 dollars in christmas money. I told my grandmother (Aka my ride) and she thought about it for a minute, then it dawned on her what I was hinting at and she goes "NO! OUR FLOORS CANNOT HOLD 100 GALLONS!"

BUT /GRANDMA/.

Well you still have to factor in purchasing filter, heater, gravel, all that jazz. Unless you have all that meant fora 100 gallon laying around your house. >.< Tell her that, then she'll realize you're not getting a 100 gallon and let you get a new tank!
