New Betta owner here

So I decided to get a fish to keep my kitty entertained while I'm at work and the guy at Petco told me that Bettas were much hardier than the goldfish I was thinking about getting. I hadn't had a fish since I was quite young and now I'm 57, so I'm pretty inexperienced w/fish, but things have improved a lot since then, and now we have the internet to turn to for info, so here I am.

I asked him what all I needed and he loaded me up. Knowing nothing, I decided on a 2.5gal MiniBow (I didn't think I wanted anything larger). Now I read that a 5 gallon is better, but I think my Bernie seems pretty happy to be here. I think he's beautiful. BTW, the plastic plant is gone now. I got some betta bulbs a few days ago and one of them is starting to show a little green tip today, so Bernie's going to have a nice live plant soon!

Figured it was about time I added Elliot to the collection of betta pictures since I am constantly talking about him and posting him everywhere else on the forums!

Here's my second male, Kitty Cat -named because he is my cat's fish, not mine They'll actually play through the tank, funniest thing. My cat will put his face to the tank and Kitty Cat will press his entire body up against where the cat has his face.

Here's my 2 bettas in a 10 gallon, divided tank. The one on the left is a crown tail. I forgot his name and the one on the right used to be my sister's betta, a veil tail named Pumpernickel.

Sony Betta Max

My first Betta since childhood. His cup was labeled "Half-Moon" but i wasn't convinced because of the finnage(sp?). But, come to find out, he was just young; he's filling out nicely.

I've been enamored with Bettas since I was about 12 years old and have kept them off and on for 43 years. Here are but a few that I have now. Click the image to open in full size.

First is Saber, my male crowntail. He's named after lightsabers from Star Wars due to his red fins in the front.
Next is Macey, a female veiltail. She's really a lavender color in person, not this blue that keeps showing up.
Then is Aurra, another female veiltail. She's a beautiful red color and is really friendly.
Last is Princess, maybe a female, maybe a veiltail. She/he is metallic but never stops moving.

My new addition

You all have some awesome betta's! Here is my new guy Roberto (two of the pictures show his "fungus" which is being treated as we speak. I just hope it works). He is a crowntail betta (from what was on his temp container). He came from Walmart, where they all looked awful.

Here's one I have to share. 2 & 1/2 month old I just jarred from a spawn between a White Lavender male I bred to one of my Pastel Green females. White, Orange, Pink, Red, Purple, Light Blue, Dark Blue and Black all on the same little guy. Talk about being Multi-colored! Click the image to open in full size.

I have pictures of my two Boys, none of my girl yet. She has a huge attitude to my camera. She hid on me a few mins ago when she saw the camera.

Here are my Two Crowntail boys

Oceanus is the lovely blue one and the other guy my daughter named blondi (don't know why). Sorry about Oceanus his whole pic is blue but you can see him there.

Finally have one of my girl Saphira. I love this little girl.

Thanks, He is a cutie. The fins are what attracted me to him, I am a sucker for the transparent look.
