Winter strutting his stuff for his new girlfriend Riviera.

Matt

what awesome fish

I think they are in LOVE!!!

I hope you get some fry

pinkfloydpuffer

LOL
I'm definitely not gonna try to breed them! Haha

Shawnie

awwwwww look at her tease him!! they are a great pair!!

Matt

lol. True. It is alot of money. Surely you will remove that divider for them every now and then though?

if u remove the divider for a while then make sure you get a video of it

pinkfloydpuffer

Goodness no! They'd probably kill each other!

Lucy

That's really a cute video!

Matt

PFP- I dont understand. If he is "Flirting" with her then why on earth would he kill her?

Please explain i am very confused.

pinkfloydpuffer

Bettas are very aggressive fish. Many times when experienced breeders put them together one of them kills the other. If the female isn't ready to breed and the male is, he'll likely harass her to death. They are not nice fish to each other.

Matt

Oh now i understand. But if they are both ready to breed then will they kill each other if they are put together?

I love that girl she is so beutiful and winter is a very handsome boy too.

Say Hi to that happy couple for me

pinkfloydpuffer

Well, I'm certainly not planning on breeding them...

Matt

lol. I understand that. Although.... I can picture the babies in my head

How are your puffers doing?

Would a 100 litre tank be enough for a puffer?

pinkfloydpuffer

I'd love the babies... but they'd be mutts. No one else would want them, lol.

They're doing fine.

Depends on the kind of puffer.

Matt

LOL. I would buy a couple of babies although i live in Aus so there is the problem

What sort of puffer would be ok in that size tank?

pinkfloydpuffer

Dwarf or figure 8

Matt

Ok cool. Thanks ill look into it

CHoffman

PFP what kind of betta is Winter..He is so awesome...He is giving me Betta Fever.

pinkfloydpuffer

He's a run-of-the-mill petstore crowntail betta. And I love him to death! He reminds me of the first betta I lost, and he just loves me to pieces.

CHoffman

Hmmm...I was just thinking what I said earlier..lol...I think all those fancy moves he was doing for his girlfriend impressed me a little too....Just kidding..He is a very pretty Betta..I think I'll be getting me one of those..His tail just looks soo full.

pinkfloydpuffer

He is quite the charmer

Yeah, his tail is beautiful. And he has the cutest face, and adorable pectoral fins, and and.... haha

He's my best buddy. He's like a teddy bear... I just wanna give him a big squeeze! But sadly I can't lol

guppywhitecloud

well breed ur bettas u just have to read the betta breeding page for bettas on this then u can sell them to ur LFS and get money$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

pinkfloydpuffer

I would love to but I have neither the time nor means to breed bettas. Plus their babies would be FAR from show quality. lol Little mutts really

Zoreta

So? Not all LFS look for quality- the one I got my swords from will happily take our fry, despite the fact that both parents are mutts (red wag tails with a touch of blue giving them iridescent side-stripes, I believe). They're planning on taking any fry we get from our platies (bah, another case of mutt fry- we got two, and one turned out to be a juvenile male that didn't show his true gender until we got him home and settled in)

Sunset platy + white MM platy = lord knows.

pinkfloydpuffer

Well, too late for that... Riviera jumped out of the tank last week and I couldn't save her.. so no breeding going to happen between those two.

Jess

Pink great video, beautiful crown tail (I have one too).
How could she do that?! She must have been reading up on Romeo and Juliet or something. If I can't have him I'll have no one. . .
But really, sorry she's gone, she was a beauty.

pinkfloydpuffer

I knew I shouldn't have let my fish read Shakespeare!
Maybe she got depressed, cause I seperated her from the others cause she was beating them all up...
Thanks, I loved her little pouty face and those cute spots she had.

Jess

We have to remember to tell the girls. . . there's sooooo many more fish in the sea. That usually fixes the whole depression thing. : )

plcd22

awww so sad... I am confused though I thought that male bettas were the only ones that were aggressive towards each other?!?! I was gunna get a male in my 30 gal tank and then add bunch of other passive fish to it, thought that would work fine? maybe I am way wrong! please enlighten me!

pinkfloydpuffer

Bettas are often aggressive towards any other fish. Several of mine I couldn't even keep cories with. I would not suggest keeping a betta with another fish, let alone several. He'll be happier alone.
And yes, females are often just as aggressive as the males.

fishpie

rly does look like their flirting
