Its been a crazy week for sure!!! (thanks lady in the shoe!!!!! LOL)

after settling all the new betta kids, and relaxing a few days , before going back on the hunt for the big tank for africans, all HECK(OOPS) broke loose HAHAHAHA (should have expected it from my lifes chronicles and MM's love for me)

all my girls are NAWTY ladies!! the only two that stayed together, were lavern and nakita(the tiny teeny gal) who are doing great but never ending watching them but they seem to actually care for eachother....DSC02226.JPG
DSC02224.JPGso ANYONE wanting a community tank with betta's, KEEP A VERY VERY CLOSE eye on them...all these girls came from a grow out tank together and it shows that doesnt always work either!!

sanchez sanchez.jpg is totally grounded, and in her own tank now LOL ...she has some amazing purples coming out and wish my camera skillz were as good as MM's

belle a roonie (not bill) has always had her own paradise as payton says she is the queen!! DSC02201.JPG and she acts it...

JR is such a love bug and I seem to spend ALOT of time with him...hes one fish I wish I could pick up and cuddle as he seems like he would like that hahaha ...he didnt do well in his 10 gal as his spine is different and his swimming seems to take alot out of him...(maybe its me worrying who knows )so he is in a 3 gal shallow breeder type setup so he can swim, but get to the top easily.....I hope that lil man lives forever because ill be crushed when his time comes for the magical bridge...although ive always adored all my fish, this guy captures every part of the heart...DSC02219.JPG

Lucy

They're just gorgeous! Zouk is fabulous.....love his fins.

What are you going to do with all the convict fry? There's so many of them!

SWilkins

Dont worry about the water spots I think we all have them. The only time we notice them is when we are taking pics though LOL. All beautiful fish!!! Oh an steveangela1 I love the Pilot..gorgeous...I think I might need a pair of these.

Shawnie

ty everyone!! but what am I going to do with 9 tanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
the step daughter is still supposedly moving in my fish room in june so I have not a clue where everything is going hahaha...

as far as the cons, once they are big enough, I give them away ..ive got my pair growing up that are from the pink/stripped spawn so hopefully they will like eachother soon!! (to get some jelly bean convicts)

shawnie they are wonderful!

Shawnie, thanks for posting pics of all of your babies! Your convict fry are so cute, and of course your bettas from Karen are all gorgeous! I love Belle and Sanchez Their colors are gorgeous! They look like they have such Sassy personalities I'm glad you are having fun with all of your new fishies! If you need room for the betta tanks when your stepdaughter moves in, you can always get wall mountable industrial strength shelves. They may not look the nicest, but at least you will have somewhere to put all of your fish kids.

ty alex!!

kate, im not sure what will happen hahaha...hence why I was downsizing...WAS is the keyword...such nawty girls for sure!! but ty for the comment

capekate

good afternoon Shawnie...
it looks like you sure have your hands full! I was looking at the photo of your con babies.. oooo my goodness all that gusto and attitude in one tank! hehee...
Your betta's are gorgeous.. I cant believe how purple that one is.. ooo wow.. she sure is gorgeous! I love them all, but your white and the purple.. wow weee....
Best of luck with them I know you are very busy with them, but once you settle into the routine with them, it may not be so bad.. lol.. Yep.. the step daughter... is going to have to love the sound of running water in her room lol..

Shawnie

ty kate!! oh I cant keep them in her room....I wouldnt like not being able to see my fish babies whenever I WANTED and that wouldnt be fair to just walk into her room...although I could set up her room in the shed maybe?

capekate

lol.. the thought came to my mind.. but thought better of it
(only joking... )

Martinismommy

There is the answer to my question in my other post lol.....Those photo's are excellent Shawnie! I got goose bumps when I read how you feel about JR.....Isn't he something else!

Thank you for being such a good Mommy to my kids!
