My male veiltail, Rico! My love

 

[MomeWrath]

Found a couple more. Don't yell at me because they were in bowls...I didn't know any better at the time. I have learned much in the last 6 years. These are both from 2012.

This is Adonis. He was a WalMart rescue and probably the prettiest betta I've ever had. Pink with rust orange fins and a black head,

And I don't remember this one's name, but he's the one that used to make clicking sounds to get my attention:

This vase was nearly two gallons. Both fish had their water changed completely once a week and had live plants in them (I put a fern in Adonis' bowl it's just not in this photo)....

Here is Flame the day I got him:

Here are Phoenix and Orion, who have since passed away:
The red one is Phoenix.

... And this is Shadow. He had fin biting issues at that time, but now he's slightly better.

o0o0o he's really similar in coloring to my new guy Perry, a dumbo plakat

Venus is flashing outside of the breeding bin, looking in at her future mate, Spike.



Zed and Lucy
These two never did get along well enough to breed. They put on quite a show though.

Corbin is doing great!

New girl I bought off ebay.

Her soon to be boyfriend in a couple more weeks.

My brat Perseus that I constantly had issues with tailbiting got to move into a 10 gallon today upgraded from the old 2.5g he has been in since the biting got bad in his 20g. It looks like we’re dealing with fin rot on top of this, but his parameters were great! Who knows, that boy is such a challenge. I got a new Walmart rescue though! Sorry for the crappy pictures. He was still in his cup when I took these!

I think it definitely helps to have almond leaves or other vegetation in the tank. Helps keep the water softer and the tannic acid helps to prevent fin rot.

I was trying to post these photos, but wound up in the wrong thread, so I will just link them.

My daughter's betta, Finny McSharkbait. We have had him for almost a week and he has darkened up so much. When we got him he was a very pale gray and white and now he's almost navy!

Tail type betta?

 

[Katie13]

I spent the last 4 weeks watching this guy at PetCo. He found his new home on Saturday, and, of course, that new home is with me! Everybody meet Apollo!

 

[upinak]

My Baby Boy - Stanley. He isn't even full grown yet. I believe he is a King mix, because he is HUGE for a betta. Even as a Mix, his tail and fins are growing in very nicely!

 

[Blaggy]

Introducing Viserion!

 

[Katie13]

Here’s the male and the only remotely decent picture I have of the female right now. I took it while she was obviously still in the bag. They both still need names. I’ll probably stick to my Greek mythology scheme for at least the female. She’s in one of the 5 gallon tanks and is HUGE. He’s in a 10g.

 

[Katie13]

A couple bad late night photos of the female. It’s lights out in the fishroom, so I took the picture with flash. Her color looks awful in these pictures.

HMPK Koi Male which I am going to breed with my HMPK Koi Female

 

[Bikebookbread]

Here’s my new delta tail male, name TBD. He has a pretty platinum streaks through his dark crimson tail and his body is platinum. I’m excited to see how his color modifies. Hoping the red will become more ruby-shaded and vibrant. He seems pretty happy in his new home.

And a betta at Petco

 

[FergusDaFish]

Added some stem plants to both of my tanks:
Ludwigia Ovalis (the one with peachy tops in the bottom photo)
Ludwigia Peruensis (the purple one)
and the bright green one I can't remember the name of right now. EDIT: It's called Golden Lloydiella

None of them look like this anymore, leaves have melted and what not, but there's lots of new growth so I'm trimmed, replanted and it's looking good

 

[bettafly]

My new baby ... literally, a baby. S/He's from a local hobbyist, is 2 months old, and is just. I mean, that little face <3

 

[Ulu]

pas a deux


Betta Boy's fins are growing back in full.

He was abused by a former consort.

Well maybe abused isn't the correct word. She was eating his fins.

He is getting along so much better with Heidi, although there are still no fry.

Hanging out in the bubble. It appears they are becoming very good friends



Previously they were just Neighbors.

Took a video of Perry's morning workout routine

Also, didn't get a picture but I found a silver crowntail betta at the LFS, named him Argento, and I just looooooooove him! Why does it have to be payday today?!?! Just... Say.... NO!

[Bikebookbread]

New little delta tail guy. His body is silver with crimson fins. hard to tell here. We are originally from Washington State, so we just had to call him Wazzu (Washington State University). I agreed - gritting my teeth as I am an alum of U of W. But no purple and gold Bettas to be had. But I like him. He’s growing on me.

 

[Kevin Dennis]

This is Neptune. He is a walmart betta and has done surprisingly well considering his cup water was yellow when my wife brought him home in November 2017.

He doesn't like other fish but loves when people visit him. He's very large and loves to eat and flare at reflections.

My best little buddy Neptune is starting to like the camera now.

 

[TheBettaSushi]

My betta has a very bold personality with an underbite to match lol.



He’s a male diva!!

 

[Fanatic]

My betta has a very bold personality with an underbite to match lol.

Wow, what a beautiful koi!

 

[Ulu]

TheBettaSushi
That's an exceptionally nice koi betta.

Spike is never photophobic.

 

[FergusDaFish]

I got another betta.... Someone stop me!!

Here's Fergus this morning, or at least the kind of morning he was having:

He simply wouldn't hold still for me. lol

Meanwhile Perry wanted more food and didn't want to pose:
I've noticed that he is slowly turning more and more red - which I'm fine with as he's named after a red watercolor paint so that suits his name fine.

Aaaaaand, this is the new guy. He's named Argento because of his silvery-blue tail and he's simply gorgeous. This picture is of him at the LFS.

This is him when I got him home and sequestered in a quarantine tank.

And this is him right now. He's still in his Q-tank but I added a suffering little red flame sword in which him in the hopes that it starts to improve being under more light. I'm also sticking all the uprooted stem plants in with him right now. His Q-tank is bunked up inside Fergus's 20G to share warmth, hence the surrounding to block sightlines. Fergus don't give no Fs about Argento but Gene doesn't like Fergus. (Fergus is much more annoyed by Perry since they're both red, I think.)


The plan is for another 20G to be set up at home and my 5G to go to work but I'm now torn about which fish should go in which tank. The plan originally was for Argento to go to work but he's a larger bodied fish than Perry is (Perry is just dainty) and I think it would be better if Argento got the larger tank and Perry kept his small one since he's happy in it...

Ah, decisions....

 

[jenmur]

Merlin has become a much more rich blue in his body and fins. Maybe he really likes the tannins?

 

[Ulu]

Little HeidI can see betta Boy, Spike, the Guppies, the mollies and the Monos, all from her little tank.

 

[ElectricBlueCrawfish1]

This is my betta!

 

[Ulu]

Spike lives in a very tall tank as so I gave him this little cheeseburger box at the top of the tank to snooze in.

I tapped on it to wake him up and he dashed outside to flare at me.

 

[Renae516]

My beautiful boy Lenny when I first got him exactly 3 months ago (white/black) vs now. I still have no idea what color or fin type he is since he's so docile I haven't seen him flare once since I've had him He's only recently gotten those black spots on his fins!

 

[ladyrivermouse]

I just had to share this with someone who didn't think I was weird! My little Somnus is about 6 months old now and growing into a fiesty little fishy! ️

 

[Jayjhis]

Gorgonzola the blue marble

One pic is from 2 weeks ago, the other is from today. He's in a community tank with some fat platys and I'm not entirely sure he isn't a she.

 

[ap4lmtree]

I got a new betta from petco today. Instead of getting one of the two new young bettas that were barking at me and showing me affection, I opted to get the old colorful vailtail that nobody seemed to want and didn't show me as much attention. His name is Finn.

 

[ap4lmtree]

Last night was a rough night for Finn. Overnight he jumped out of his tank, and this morning I found him about 4 feet from his 2.5 gallon tank near the floor on a propped up paper. He must have been there for over 4 hours probably. I put him back in the tank. And he sat on the bottom of the tank for 7 minutes. Then, later, after getting air two times from the top, he sat on one of the plastic plants for 7 minutes or more. He swims around now a little more.

I am going to lower the water halfway to make things easier for him for a while



He didn't lose any fins during the whole incident; however, his fins are clamped most of the time he has been back.

Here’s my main man of the tank, Chad, flexing the signature betta pose

He’s such a good boy and honestly the most entertaining betta I’ve ever owned. I love how long his fins are, and how beautiful his colors are. Here’s a few other shots I grabbed of him.

 

[LilBlub]

My dumbo betta, Darwin, just passed away a couple days ago. Today I bought a new betta, Aurelio.


He’s a crowntail, but I have no idea what color morph he is. His body is mostly white with a black head, gold fins and bright blue at the base of his fins. Any ideas?

 

[Cameron2585]

My HMPK Koi pair and their 12 day old fry (hatched on april fools) and another HMPK Koi breeding project: (I just can't stop getting new bettas) (I did condition all the bettas and everything btw for spawning and everything is planned out for the fry)

 

[Bithimala]

Brought this boy home today! Bought him a large betta leaf, up near the surface by the heater. This of course means he wants to hang out on the ground at the other side of the tank, lol.
