I can't believe you got that cute, adorable, gorgeous little guy at a petstore.

None like him around here (which may be a good thing or I'd have 20 of them!)

Congrats!!

Allie....I spent $68.00 for Patron and Crush..They were a gift to myself...I won't ever do that again...I know now you can find good quality Bettas local if you look hard enough...

Go ahead and stick your tongue out lol...Zero is a compliment to your dear boy Casper...It is because of him that I fell in love with the "Great whites"

So here is how I divided the tank..I gave Lenox 2/3 and Zero 1/3...(for now) Lenox is too big to leap over and Zero is having too much fun to run away to the other side lol..

Lenox looks soo good too!!!
My Royal Blue will look just like that when his tail finishes growing back.
About half of what he lost has grown back, so just 1/4 more to go.

oh and that little baby looks more like ZERO the pup in every picture i see see of him!

and while we're at it, can you make a WILL post? PLEASE!!!

Will has those big puppy dog eyes too that just MELT ME!!!

Just catching up on this thread.

Oh my goodness, Zero's a great name and he's just gorgeous. I love the puppy dog eyes.

I wouldn't pick up a cup and look at them, that would be it!! It's all I can do to walk past them.

As soon as my husband is over the fact that I'm getting another frog and his quarantine time is up......another betta might just show up. lol

Thank you all for the cooments on my new toddler lol...

Devon, I'm honored to have Zero as your screen saver! If you let me know what your monitor measures I'll send you an original so the quality will be really good.....Usually when you try and save a pic off the forum it is very distorted....

Jacq..I will try my hardest to get a new pic up of the old man Will....He hates the camera in his old age..I think he is grouchy because his fins are sagging lol....Lenox is an easy one to photograph...He just pulls up and parks it right in front of the glass....

LOL!! Well I followed the forum link to the original image... which is quite big!! It is even bigger than my monitor, and it looks sooo good! I always put photos of bettas I covet from Aquabid, or my boys up as my desktop. Now my boyfriend Cory is going to have me put under observation when he finds out I have OTHER people's bettas as my desktop background!
I can't help it, Zero is a stunning boy!

Oh my goodness! Zero is the most adorable betta EVER! He's so cute he doesn't even look real!

I think I've figured out what's happening with Karen and her bettas. My theory: None of them are real except Lenox. Karen secretly works for Pixar films and has created all of her amazing gems purely from imagination and superb graphic skills.

Seriously, they're all sooooo cute, stunningly gorgeous and so different from each other! Congrats, Karen, for the new addition to your incredible betta family!

Pam, I'm coming to Tucson to spank you for saying that lol...And Lenox is pouting in the mirror as I write this! ....

I'm so flattered that you would even think this and I'd love to invite you to my home to come see my amazing 9 Betta kids...

P.S. Bring Shawnie so she can help me divide another tank or 2 lol....

If you're serious about inviting me to your home, I plan to be in Phoenix next Wednesday, Aug. 20! I'd love to see the boys, plus perhaps you and I can go to About the Reef, the Phoenix-area store where you got those great saltie pics a few months ago. Please don't take me to your PetCo! I'm not prepared for another betta, much less transporting him/her. Lead me not to temptation!

Of course, I'll make up a whole other story after seeing your boys. Future theory: I will confirm they're not real. All but Lenox and Zero have tiny battery insert places instead of real butts. Zero is a small but very realistic wind-up toy. All were prototype toys from an upcoming film by Pixar. I knew they were all, especially Zero, too gorgeous and cute to be true! Except for Lenox. He's real.

I'm very interested in meeting you, and we can take this up by PM rather than boring everyone else or making them jealous that I might get to meet you and your fishies!

Allie, if I knew how to ship I'd send you one....Zero is the 1st white one I've seen but I'm sure more will be coming.....Since I am at my max (almost) it would be fun to shop for other people lol...I paid $6.00 for him...
