My newest buddy “ noname the second”

WOW! I haven't been in here in a while and I see some incredible new bettas!

Meanwhile, little Zed still lives in a 5 gallon with two guppy fry as his current pets. At least he doesn't eat them, but they are 1/10 his size.

He hangs out above the tank in his bubble bottle a lot, and he can see the mollies and monos and guppies in the adjacent tank.

Zed is the only surviving result of my betta harem attempts.

He has always liked to lounge on the algae in the bottom bubble, but I noticed recently that he was keeping the algae cleaned off the top bubble. It normally would grow 4x being that close to the lamp, but I think he wants to see the adjacent fish. He can also see the front yard thru a window, though what a betta can see at distance is probably not great.

His father didn't care for company, and I kept his tank blocked from adjacent tanks for his privacy.


Zed can see six 7" Mono Sebae from his perch in the bottle, but they don't concern him.

My boy Midnight!!
I took him home May 2019. Don’t ask me what type he is, I couldn’t tell you. He was labeled as a black orchid at PetSmart.

 

[Spinydogfish]

My boy Magnus Burnsides... he's the first betta ive had in a while. Forgot how personable they are.

This is Chase. One of our foster kiddos loves Paw Patrol and named him. He lives in the guest bathroom with his two cherry shrimp housekeepers.

[FathomtheFish]

Here's Scuppy and Fathom!

Fathom is a super-delta rosetail and Scuppy is a koi delta. I love them both so much!!
Pebbels, how'd you get Scuppys picture? XD
Everyone has such beautiful boys/girls!!

 

[TheBettaSushi]

Hey guys!!! It’s been a min but just wanted to update y’all on salem... he’s changing patterns and colors almost daily. Has a bunch of new marbling going on and looks like he’s turning more into a galaxy koi plakat than just a regular koi. He’s also gotten a lot bigger since I brought him home. Still can’t believe I found him at petco. It will be one year on Friday (March 6th)... happy early “gotcha day” to him!!

Ugh I have a horrible quality camera but here’s my Nemo Koi HMPK, Peachy

Hello, question, do you guys get better results from using a flash, or no flash??


My betta, with and without flash

I finally got a good picture of my male.

He’s not at full flare in this picture, determined to give me a hard time for putting him in my photo tank.

Beautiful photos! If you dont mind me asking, how do you get such clear shots? I really struggle with clarity, so my settings must be wrong for fish? I have a decent camera but still get better pics from my phone. And also, what is that creeping plant on the bottom in the second pic? I love it!

I used my phone camera for those. I keep the glass super clean (no water spots) and maintain swimming in air water. I try to have minimal lighting in the room with the tank so that there is no glare and the colors don’t get washed out. If you have a little bit of background light, you can use your body to block it. For fish, I’ve found the faster shutter speed works well.

As for the creeping plant, that is Hydrocotyle tripartita. It’s spread around the tank like that all on its own and actually started out in the back.
Another part is knowing which angles in your tank get the least glare. For example, I know I can get a side picture in this tank with no room light glare because the room light is angled at the front of the tank. However, leaving the room light on will still wash out the colors a little bit. To get rid of this, you can slightly touch up the color.

He's currently dealing with Fin Rot (Not all the pictures are recent).

I got this little dude for free from my LFS just 3 weeks ago. He was a little beat up then, but it seems to be settling in and doing well in his new home.

No name yet, possible suggestions?

 

[The_fishy]

Got some pictures of the male Betta albimarginata showing off for the female!

 

[HannibalXavier]

I love being able to see other people’s little betta babies and how unique they all are. So nows your time to show them off and tell a little bit about them!

Here are all my current babies. Here’s my eldest, this is Tauros, just your classic old man cranky betta

This is Kimchi, he’s a very sweet and mild fish.

Here’s Axel, my most recent addition and the newest bachelor. He’s actually quite large, I was very surprised when I first got him. He’s over 3.5 inches.

And this little girl is Pickle! She is Kimchi’s daughter, she’s one of the most beautiful female bettas I’ve ever seen.

[AquaCaitlin]

Mosiaic- she’s pretty young, about 4.5 months old I believe. My youngest betta, other than the fry I’m raising (which are hers)

Inferno- around 8 months old. Father of the fry I’m raising.
Peachy- she’s pretty big for a female with a grumpy temperament. 8 months. I still love her despite her angry face and refusal to live with other fish

July- veiltail I bought about 2 years ago. he’s a pretty boy, with lovely lavender fins.

Anemone- by far my oldest betta. She’s about 3.5 years now. This picture was from maybe 2 years ago but it’s the only one I have. She’s now much bigger with longer fins and a lovely deep blue metallic color.

A few of my betta fry- picture taken yesterday. They’re just over a week old.

 

[qldmick]

and another i used to have (i lost fish while i was away from home for a long time)

 

[MaximumRide14]

This betta's unofficial name is Euler (inside joke with my calc friends)

I got this betta from my friend, and he doesn't have a name yet. The picture isn't great but his color changes with different lighting. He's red, blue, and purple

 

[AquaticQueen]

Does anyone have any photos of their bettas? I'd love to see them if you do. Here is my betta boy, Rex.

 

[butterflybetta]

I love the colors of your betta! He’s so pretty!
Here’s my Betta, Tyler the Fish :


He didn’t want to stay still for pictures today lol

These are a few of my bettas. The last picture is a regular sized betta next my king betta. he's HUGE.

 

[The_fishy]

Male albimarginata holding eggs with female in breeding colors.

 

[LadfromLondon]

Skywalker’s my first ever fish, and he’s the king in his territory! He’s a Betta Mahachai (Wild caught), and he’s only been with me for a week or so-Still shy! I’m hoping I get to see him more, because he’s a beaut!

 

[Demeter]

New male for my female koi, just got him today.

Young ones with nice color, you can see the mom’s tail above the blue one, she’s an unusual blue color.

 

[kcisco71]

Meet Finneas! He lives in a 13 gallon tank with 5 Harlequin Rasboras (Eeny, Meeny, Mini, Moe, and Stubby), 1 golden mystery snail (Mr. Miyagi), a zebra nerite (Elton), and a tiger nerite (Bernie).

The last picture is my favorite. If you enlarge it, you can see his mouth is wide open as he goes after that "evil fish in the mirror"

 

[louiebetta]

This is Louie, my gorgeous blue betta and the reason I got into fish keeping!
He lives with a couple of bronze corys, about 13 shrimp (red cherry and Amano) and a zebra nerite snail
