YAY!! me got new fishie!!!!

It's SOOOO tiny!!!!! Some of the pebbles are bigger than it!!!Same as Kizmet it was in the female tank. Kiz was also tiny but turned into a stunning male.

I spoke to the guy working there and i said i'll take HIM please, he said that is a female. OK i said but i can't see an egg spot........a what he said........i explained and he said he just went on the fins they had!!!!DOH!!!

He was cross with his supplier but then they should know what they are doing!!!

I THINK i MAY have a male plakat BUT so tiny it's hard to tell. I can't see an egg spot and he/she is fiesty!!! Numpty is here and well so far, that is all that matters.

Mum also brought home a red, VT, also tiny, i think he MAY have blue eyes!!! She has named him 'Sleepy' as each time we went to the tank to see him he was napping!!

I will need a name for my new one but for now numpty, as it was being a bully to the other 3 females in the tank, if i placed my finger on the tank numpty zoomed over to me!!!! male or female a nutcase!! love that!!!!

I love it and am so happy for you both! Please do convey my congratulations to your Mum. I am so happy that they are tiny and have you going. Sleepy sounds so cute and you could very well have a small plakat if he was being a little bully.

Congratulations to you both and we will surely expect to see pics soon.

I will get pics asap!!!! They really are both so young and delicate but i can't keep calling this blue dot numpty!!!!!! When i get pics and we agree on the sex we'll have to pic a name! I love my bettas to be fishlore family!! They are less than an inch in length!! heads a 1/4 of an inch wide IF that!! so sweet!

I wanted to take pics BUT thought i should let them settle in first. Gosh i wish you all lived by me so you could call in and coo over them with me and ma!!!!!!!!!!

My last female was so small at first, I had to check her out with a magnifying glass, and cut her pellets into 3 pieces. I nearly went crosseyed.

It's so cute seeing one so tiny, yet feisty, as Tazmiche says, and biting your fingers. Aww.
