Re: Im finaly geting 2 new bettas!!!

Shades of Alexander!! The daddy looks just like an older version of my baby!! I think they are beautiful and congratulations on getting the grass green they are really RARE. I thought my little guy was green but after a couple of days of color enhancing food he turned teal. Yours however have the grass green color and will never change. You are so lucky!!

Good luck and Congratulations on the new babies. Pictures!!! WE WILL WANT MORE PICTURES . Do they have names yet?? You know i do love babies.

Re: Im finaly geting 2 new bettas!!!

Alas, I am not but I do know that we do have several very fine members from Canada. Perhaps the market would be better than you think.

If the duties and quarantines and all were not so stringent, I may even be tempted if I had room. I want a grass green SO BADLY!!

Re: Im finaly geting 2 new bettas!!!

They are absolutely beautiful! I would be totally honored to share my name with a great looking betta like her. She is gorgeous and so willing to have her picture taken. You have a couple of nice little hams for sure, not at all camera shy are they? I do love them!

Re: Im finaly geting 2 new bettas!!!

Don't keep the light on for the full time for a day or two and don't expect them to eat too much for a day or two. They are a bit stressed from the move. Just let them get used to their new home.

Re: Im finaly geting 2 new bettas!!!

Before you try be sure and properly prepare them with the special diet and all for the length of time recommended and get the tank ready to the specifications so you do not have any problems. YOu will be so much happier with the results. And you will have to stay with them the whole time so there are no injuries inflicted. Sorry if I am telling you things you already know but I just want you to have a good experience. I have the info if you need it. (diets and tank set up)

Re: Im finaly geting 2 new bettas!!!

You have Aquarius listed as a VT which I assume is meant to be Veiltail but my dear he is a Delta if I have ever seen one.* You are a very lucky lady they are much more valuable.* He is a beautiful fish and with your little lady they should produce some beautiful babies. Oh I just saw the HM part and agree wholeheartedly, he looks so much like Alexander who is a SuperDelta.
