Betta Photos

[Sputnik]

Sir Plankton in silhouette- I love the shape of mahachai bettas!

 

[Sputnik]

And another one- he is being photogenic tonight

 

[John58ford]

Can't be bothered to eat a pellet, too busy chilling in a lilly pad.

Ahhh, so it's time to feed the schooling fish then...

It's gotta be the fish equivalent to being fed grapes in a hammock.

 

[John58ford]

What’s his name?

His name is Rex, he's been around about a year now. I put him in the 29 with a school of silvertip about a month ago and he's doing great. It was a long quarantine gradually increasing current to get him to act like a real fish.
Back at post 1717 of this thread was the first time I shared him with the forum.

 

[The_fishy]

Krylon, a plakat koi betta.

 

[Bluejay010101]

My boi <3 he's very sassy and angry

 

[Bluejay010101]

He was a rescue from a bowl (was gonna get flushed), and my 2nd rescue. Never thought I would be in this deep into the aquarium hobby. No regrets!

First day home:

 

[BettasAreSuperior]

My boi I got from an LFS.

 

[Cooperman411]

Here's Milo. I've had him about 3 weeks or so. He was listed on Aquaswap on Reddit. The guy who had him said he started killing off shrimp after peacefully co-existing for a long time but didn't have room for another tank. So I put him in his very own 7 gallon. I tried sneaking in 4 "cull" Neo shrimp that were almost completely clear. And I did it at night so they could explore while he slept. No trace of them the next morning. Oops. But super interactive - tracks my every move and will take food from my fingers. No fear of me whatsoever.

 

[Naz6968]

Got him a month back.

 

[LouPey]

I love this little guy, he often just comes to 'stare' at me like this lol. Although I doubt he can see me like this with his eyes on the side of his face but it looks funny

 

[Awesomeneptune]

I'm not sure if we are still posting pictures of our bettas here anymore, but heres a picture anyway! This is a picture of my male betta, Neptune, that I took awhile ago ( it's the best Picture I have!)

 

[Demeter]

My galaxy boy, he’s a dad to about 50-60 little ones but they are currently unimpressive babies.

Some of my other boys from my last marble spawn.

 

[FeederGuppies]

A friend’s betta. He lives in a 5 gallon tank with a mystery snail.

Just got my new betta! Soooo excited. This little guy is gonna help me with work everyday (I work from home), as he is on my office desk in a 16 gallon. Haven’t had one for over 20 years. His name is Ning Yi. Anyone seen striping like his before? And can anyone confirm what kind he is? I think he is a delta tail.... I think he’s just gorgeous and I had to share! I purchased him from my LFS that didn’t sell these little guys in cups.

 

[grac3]

I thought it be cool to see everyone’s tanks and bettas

here’s my bb

 

[Fishkeeper25]

here is mine *His name is borealis. I have him in a 20 gallon tank.*

Wow, you are right about the delta tail, he looks like maybe a black orchid betta

so happy for you, bettas are great fish

 

[jaycopper]

Got this guy yesterday, still needs a name if anyone's got suggestions

 

[ProfessorSycamore]

This is my boy Sabbath


And my girl Nebula

 

[mrsP]

Meet Salad and Tomato. I've had Tomato for couple of years, but Salad moved in today. I hope Salad will grow to be a big boy.

 

[Pariah]

Sushi - taken 19 days apart. Sorry about the poor lighting in the second picture, but y'all get the idea. I wonder what he'll look like in 6 months.

 

[Sean Smith]

heres my rosetail rescue , he was missing his entire back fin and starting to get body rot . So the store let me take him for no charge . Now he is healthy
.
Here’s my latest project betta . He is under two inches and fully grown . Trying to make a dwarf betta line

 

[RedOnion]

My only betta I have right now is Red Onion. I got her last year in june/july and I love her so much. Her scales are just starting to color up and she is VERY fiesty! When I first got her she was so tinyy and now shes gotten so much bigger!

 

[BevM]

This is Copper my only betta he is a halfmoon double tail. He was white and bluish when I got him, but he has turned this rusty, copperish color. Sometimes some blue shines through but mostly his coloring looks like an old copper penny. Great personality and loves to eat. I feed him a few flakes in the morning and pellets at night.

 

[Basil]

Besides the poor ill-fated betta I tried to save from a wedding a long time ago Eddie Betta is my first betta. I didn’t think I could become so attached to a fish!

 

[LeafY4life77]

Here’s mine, he's my only one.

 

[Annabanana728]

I have 5 bettas atm, My fav betta is not my favorite because he is pretty or has nice fins...he’s my favorite because he has such an amazing personality and he has an interesting story with a happy ending. He was a carnival prize. I was at the fair, saw him left on a bench and knew I couldn’t leave him. This is before I knew anything about the nitrogen cycle or really much about fish besides they eat fish food and live in aquariums. So I took him home, put him in a 2 gal and gave him some fish food. I researched more and that’s what led me into fish keeping! That was five years ago and he’s still with me, His name is Jupiter, he has a ten gallon with some tetras now, and I am very attached to him, never thought that could happen with a fish!

 

[Mandy627]

this is my boy Mandarin

 

[BettaCyrus]

My guy Cyrus with his blue lips!

 

[Whitelightning]

This is Ziggy. He sadly passed away a few years ago. I remember I was crying. I loved him so much. He was such a funny fish. And pretty.



Silly boy would launch himself into his plant like a rocket:

This is Fin. He also sadly passed away a few years ago. I had him at the same time as Ziggy (in a separate tank of course). He liked to nudge a ping-pong ball that would float at the top of the tank. I ended up moving him to a larger tank:


(I know, I know, I changed the plant later)

He loved hiding in his moon rock:

 

[jaycopper]

I'm getting Felix vibes... or Phoenix, rising from the flames? Awesome colouring!

Thanks for the suggestions, I ended up naming him Chappie though Felix definitely suits him as well.
My friend took this slo-mo video of him jumping to grab a food pellet -

(he missed but he usually can grab it)

 

[catperson]

My betta, Waffles

 

[Demeter]

One of 2 boys I kept from my last marble spawn. I wasn’t going to breed him but now I really want to find him a lady friend. Colors seem stable, he’s a year old this month!

 

[Whitelightning]

Ziggy liked to launch himself like a rocket upside down into his plant:

 

[RelaxingBettas]

The colors are so hard to catch but here's one of my shy little alien lads exploring his new tank, he already made a bubble nest, bless him lol- my son was leaning to Perseus, but we haven't settled.

 

[MelanieIh71]

He looks really similar to my Zazzy...did you find out what kind he is?

 

[FishFor2018]

Here are my four I currently have and the fifth one I will be picking up Friday and he doesn’t have a name yet!! all except Tarzan I adopted from someone who couldn’t keep them, Tarzan was just an eye catcher I saw at petsmart and while I hate funding them I couldn’t resist lol
These two share a divided 10 gallon, blossom I just got two days ago and she was supposed to be a he lol so I ended up dividing my female, baby blues tank
This one is Tarzan he started in my community tank but was to stressed from the other fish so he’s got a ten gallon all to himself
And then this guys name is Silvermist, I got him two days ago along with blossom, he is in a divided 10 gal waiting for his unnamed buddy to come on Friday to go in the other side.


and then this is the unnamed betta I’ll be getting Friday

 

[SchirmerFish]

A pic of my siamese fighter

Looks very active here is mine

 

[BettaCyrus]

New pic of Cyrus... because he's just that good-looking (battling mild fin rot, still handsome as ever!)
No, it's not velvet, he has this rad greenish iridescence, always has, no gold flecks But he has a nonconformity L-shaped ventral fin

 

[Frisbee]

Some up-to-date photos of Count Rosencross. Sorry for the weird glare in the tank.
I might be getting another betta tomorrow. I’ll keep you guys posted.

 

[Pariah]

Introducing: Sashimi! We just got him a few hours ago at our LFS. He wasn't even out of the shipping box yet. I can't wait to see him glow up once he settles in.



Temporary fix for the 1/4" gap that Sushi jumped through when he committed suicide the other day. It's just a bamboo skewer hot glued into place, but nothing bigger than a betta pellet can fit through now.
