Default Betta macrostoma juveniles

Hey people, looks like the wild betta craze is really increasing in intensity. I have 2 tanks of juvenile macrostomas, currently about 5-6cm. About 15 juveniles, starting to get really territorial. Going to be a real headache when they grow up cause they are rather aggressive.

Anyway here are two pictures:



Sorry for the poor quality of pictures, my tank is algae infested haha, and I don't scrub the glass.

Question

Did you breed them or did you buy them?

Got them as 1 inch juveniles. Lost quite a few to ich, it can be rather hard to treat for macros since they need cool temperatures. At least its over. I will probably keep about 3 pairs maximum, need some space for my rubra spawn too.

No I don't use a chiller. Been feeding them pellets and various frozen food (Mysis, brine shrimp and bloodworms).
