I'm seriously way too attached to this gorgeous boy.....I was talking to my "Chihuahua" friends about him and they are sure I've lost my mind lol......They did have to admit he is the most beautiful Betta boy they have ever layed eyes on......

I finally got the shot I've been waiting for.......It's not my normal crisp focus you are all used to but this is my boy in all his glory! The arched neck the proud little man that he is.....

I swear there was no mirror lol.....He has never seen himself in a mirror.......

He's got such beautiful eyes! Definitely pure platinum right down to his eye color.

Martinismommy

Thank you! I think that is one of the things that has drawn me to him.....His white body and dark eye.....You should see this boy in person....He is GORGEOUS!

COBettaCouple

Yea, he's one that could actually make a Splendens breeding worth doing.

Shawnie

he is one amazing boy...I like the pics you take with them facing you the best...dont get me wrong, this one is amazing as always!! but I just like them facing and flaring ...

Martinismommy

Bite your tongue Dave lol......You're talking to a lady that bred several Champion doggies.....I know you know that thought has crossed my mind....I would NEVER have the gutts to do it alone without help.....I'm not worried about the raising the fry part....I have the money and room and time to handle that....I'm just worried about the actual breeding! awwwkkkkkkkkkk!

ohhhhhh what a visual

The breeding is the part I could do. *temptation*

Martinismommy

I'm going to tell you he is in a fulltime mode of bubble nesting.....Almost scary he is so obsessed with building it....What has sucked for him is that I have done 50% water changes since the day he arrived so his home keeps getting destroyed (poor guy)....It doesn't stop him.....The next morning it is bigger than the day before......He is finally cycled as of today......I put filter sponge from Wills tank into both the boys yesterday and bam.....It's done...

I just know what I like in a purebred specimen and he is it from head to toe...

Yea, I think it would be a relatively easy breeding with a pure platinum female after a few weeks of conditioning.

Martinismommy

Dave.....

Is that the color cross you'd do? Platinum to platinum? Don't you lose pigment? What colors would you get?

Oh, am I'm going to have sweet dreams tonight lol

He is glory from one end to the other even with his booboos. He does not even realize he is getting medicine and is a bit on the ouchy side. I think he is regal.

I just love him and Crush both.

I think with 2 pure platinums, there would be a much higher chance of them throwing pure platinum and less chance of red wash.

Martinismommy

Can't get him flaring but here's a face shot of Crush for Shawnie

MinxMermaid

no doubt about it, Patron is

MAGNIFICANT!!!!!!



i'm a little bit jealous, we just might have to come to arizona and visit him and the chihuahuas!!!

Martinismommy

Thank you! You are always welcome to come visit me and my Doggies and fish! We have a puppy playday at the kennel once a month..Maybe you Rick and your little boy can join us when the weather cools down..It's a lot of fun..50 plus chihuahuas and their owners...

Patron is a VERY special boy......I've seen a LOT of betta fish and have never seen anything that compares to him...He is my "once in a lifetime Betta"

hockeyref88

You know he is a very good looking fish but........................Come on...........Arching his neck Fish don't have neck's............They do fart, but a neck?

Barbrella
