Now I must start searching the shops for "that fish" !!!! Every morning my car is calling me..."come Ted...we can do this...I will take you to bettas"!!
Even my driveway has begun slopping downhill to help move the car faster!!!
Last night the sunset looked like a giant betta flaring!!!
I have mouthbrooding bettas...aren't they enough  No, No, No
Help me, what is this splendenssyndrome??
I even spread the jelly on my toast this morning....omg it looked like a betta!!! Last edited by TedsTank; November 18th, 2009 at 03:40 PM.

Welcome to the World of Betta Addicts Ted 
Give in, it's less painful and WAY more fun
P.S. the Betta Vader gotcha didn't he  "Come to the Betta side Ted... we've got attitude AND looks (also cookies  )" |

| Well, if there were no enablers, there would be sooo many little nasty death cup babies clinking the glass to be rescued, giving us those sad little eyes they do so well (my most recent impulse buy was a little purpley blue betta who looked so sweet and innocent, but turned out to be a bit of a violent little mr!) and really, we can't let that happen... Oops, some subtle enabling there possibly mwa ha ha!!??
Go on, you know you want one, maybe two, perhaps three. Think of a nice divided tank and... OK OK I'll stop now. But we really do have cookies, yuuuum  |

| I feel your pain. As soon as I can get a bigger tank to move my guppy into, my current set-up is going to house a new little fishy friend!
By the way, Martinismommy, the boy is stunning! I don't understand how you could ever show him to other people. Aren't you afraid they might try and take him?  |

| GEE thanks everyone for your support!!
"The Future of the Universe depends on it"?? If I were to get one I'll name him 2012 ok?
Please notice the word IF
I went out to check my boat this morning....a small oil spot under the car looks like a Betta also. My car doesn't/hasn't leaked oil before!!
I can't rake leaves anymore, if they are folded or laying a certain way it looks a school of bettsa!!! and they don't school....in fact I should only have one male leaf in my yard!!!
Make it stop, make it stop!!!!
MM you a bad girl!!!!..lolol |

| Ok, we'll compromise. Go to the store to buy some conditioner, you know you can never have enough of that lying around.
While you're there walk past the bettas. Look at a couple.
Let's see what happens. 
IF you get one (haha) you'll fall in love and never be without one (or two or three) again. |

The weekend after Thanksgiving am going to visit my mom in Lancaster Pa. I've heard it has one of the largest Pet Store and aquarium suppliers on the East Coast. Maybe mom can come visit me!!!! I can't go, I can't go

|  Just cave - you know you want to. I'm currently converting a 12g into a divided frat house. There's always some way to add a betta tank
Also, MM.... Holy smokes! That first boy is just surreal. His colors - I have no words!  |

Seriously Ted, IF you didn't want a Betta, you wouldn't have started this thread.
You know us better than that.  |

| Yes Lucy, I do want one....but I don't also...ever had that feeling. My gut is telling no for now and my tanks are saying pleez!!!!
So for now I need to honor the gut feeling....at least til next time I'm in town...lololol
That is why I avoid aquabid!! The pics....holey moley!!!...and what is the cost of all that trans shipper mess??...maybe we should all get MM to bid for us!!! Last edited by TedsTank; November 18th, 2009 at 03:39 PM.
