ty for the compliments..the boyz say thanks a ton also!
20 longs were all gone by the time I got back their

...so they are going into a 10 gallon seperated...its cycleing now...
my baby, which i wish I knew how old, hes approx 1 1/2 -2 1/2 inches from end of tail to nose...really small compared to all the bettas ive had...looks peach colored with red half way thru the tail n fins...is doing AWESOME ...he wouldnt eat for two days but today, got him to eat some 2 pellets soaked in garlic juice.....
my other feisty boy, with the purple body and blue/red fins, has always been soooooo full of it, but totally damaged fins...he has always eaten since day one...both are still in breeder tanks 3 gallons each, until the 10 gallon finishes cycleing (picked that up at a yard sale for 10 bucks on the way home from my dissapointed 20 gallon failure)
ordered vita-chem off the site rose and dave gave me..that fishplace...in meantime, doing 50% water changes daily with stress coat...
