HI Taz
your betta boy is gorgeous! I love his tail markings...

Hi Barbrella
your little girl is a sweetie pie! I just love the females... they have such adorable faces.

Taz.. I know how the bettas can be mixed up. Remember when I thought that Precious was a male, since she has those long fins? But she has the egg spot and I know that she is a female.
Here is an updated photo of Precious that I am using in my siggy now.

Thanks Armadillo! I think she's pretty sweet too.

I think they call that pattern butterfly
Actually, I'm pretty sure she's a Cambodian - white/light body with coloured fins. Whatever she is, she's a hoot!

Capkate, Precious has amazing finnage for a female! No wonder there was gender confusion.

Here she is today. You can see the new growth!
Wow! Holly is gorgeous! Do her eyes really reflect her surroundings as they appear to be doing? I mean, do they generally look like they do in the photo? Amazing!

CapeK i remember! I was open minded on this one as when so tiny looked female AND had a tiny white spot that grew into part of his finnage!!! He is a true joy, like an excited puppy when i enter his room!!

I didn't realize until you said it, but yes - her eyes are always like that. I should have called her Lucy, the "Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes".

Hmm... I may think about getting a Betta pair, once the guppies have gone. But that's a long time to wait.

I'm not wishing them away. I want them to stay alive for as long as they can.
Justs saying that would be my next step.

So my b/f has now caught the betta bug! We were in the petstore a couple days before Christmas getting dog food and he stopped at the bettas and made me come see this boy. I said ya, he's nice, but I have 3 and that's enough for me.

Well he talked about this betta for a couple days and so I said fine, let's go back and if he's there we'll get him. We have a couple empty tanks anyway...

So meet Ra, our little sun god. I guess I'll have to add him to my sig since he's in the same room as my 3 stinkers.

He has amazing crowntail spikes.... and beautiful coloring!
Congrats on a fantastic find!

Oh my goodness! Of course you had to bring him home. I can't believe you found such a beauty at a petstore!

He's gorgeous.

What a perfect name! He is spectacular, and I'm amazed he was still there when you went back a couple of days later.
