Betta Photos

[Anonfish4]

Little koi dude Khonshu who was purchased today. Seems to love his 10gal, definitely a mansion compared to his cup

Couldn't believe how lucky I was to get this photo by accident. Our new girl, Sunset, crushing on Groot. <3 lol

Another photo shoot and battle of the brothers. These boys were not harmed, they are separated before the real fighting begins. It just helps to get them to flare and show off for the camera.
My favorite of the koi HMPKs, working on plan to breed from him soon, just looking for the perfect female. Second is also a favorite but his stubby pelvic fins put him in second place.



My favorite CT and his bride to be, plus the brother who was my previous favorite but let's face it, the first one shown has better form and fin balance.


A few others, I'm currently loving the last one and I'm looking forward to what he becomes.

What should we name this gorgeous guy?!

 

[GouramiGirl100]

This is Marina she’s very feisty and hunted down and ate every single shrimp in her tank- there were likely around 50 or more. She’s extremely active and uses every inch of her tank

She is stunning!! Thanks for sharing. Feisty girl! I actually have a male named Feisty, haha! I was given him sick, and he fought through it! Here he is! I asked the pet store to give him to me for free because he was visibly dying.

Latest picture of my sassy girl, Sunset.
I absolutely love her!

Hi, we have merged the betta picture threads together.
The gals get plenty of attention in this sticky. Let's keep all the betta pics together

Hello all. If you stumble across here, you not only love bettas but you like females, maybe because they're underrated, they have big personalities, or they don't have swimming problems...well, you're in luck! This post is for those of you who love (or prefer) female bettas.

If you know me, you know I've been rescuing fish for well over a decade, and I especially like giving female bettas a home. There's just...charm about them; one you don't often see in other fish. So here's a few pictures of the "prettiest girls" I've saved over the years. Enjoy

**Feel free to share pictures of your own female betta(s)!**

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Maybe we'll do a female for the wife's office. Milic likes the 20

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Nailed it.

 

[fishywoo]

I bow before you, oh mighty Pond Frog!

Couldn't resist.

Picked up a young female Betta today. Calling her Petunia

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Unfortunately the kiddos Betta Luke passed away last weekend. His successor, Blaze

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Caught him mid bite lol



This hide is much more open than the log hide Luke had. Our first crown tail. The copper / orange bottom varies into pinks and purples when moving. A nice match to the magenta / chili Endlers.

 

[amil]

it’s been so hard to get a picture of him because of how high energy he is. finally got one. he’s not the prettiest betta ever but he was a rescue with a badly damaged spine who couldn’t swim- he’s my pride and joy and in my eyes he is the most beautiful fish in the world. his name is jesse pinkman btw

 

[OICU812]

MY samurai betta

 

[OneFishyGurl33]

Here is a small photo dump of my current bettas.

 

[zvsfish]

My currently unnamed lad, it's been hard to get good pictures of him but I finally got one.

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Milic and Petunias first and second spawns. Had to prevent a third lol

They're so cute right now. Can't wait to show a tank full of wee fish that actually looks like Bettas

 

[GouramiGirl100]

Peter this morning

 

[tintin1982]

My Betta "Chini" (Hindi, means Sugar):

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Has his daddies looks and nest building desire

Taking him and ten brothers and sisters to the LFS tomorrow

 

[Halloween]

A month ago I put together a 6 gallon and got a beautiful betta (and a hillstream loach, not pictured lol), his name is Mer, short for America because of his colors, heh.

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Daughter of Petunia, meet Rose
I named her after an Ethnobotanist to give her some credit for her work. Enjoying that she has long black "hair" (tail pattern) like her namesake



She has had her name for some time, but the pattern just started to show. I think she has accepted her name

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Coloring up nicely. Still not done though

Too late to edit Got better (Bettar?) pics

That last one is what I'm hoping to end up with on my next actual real attempt lol Then breed one of those females, hopefully carrying purple irridescence with the black developing up marble type pattern male with purple irridescence

Next spawn is kiddos black and red with blue crown tail to this...

But, I'm starting to think Rose is more of an Axl Rose lol So I have a very similar piebald blue and pink next to that tank There's a green irridescence female I might snag from the wife's stash. She has two lol

 

[fishnerd1111]

bonnie and clyde

 

[BPSabelhaus]

"Rose" Definitely a male lol Since he's all developed up, lost the black in his fins etc... He is now called Pinky NARF!

Figured I should finalize that lol He took over his mother's at the kitchen table and she is over in the 20 long as the sorority mother of her daughters

Petunia looking even more fantastic at about a year old now

Aside from Cambodian and cellophane, the only hints of her beautiful fins were a bit of red irridescence on the blue bodied offspring. I really should give her another shot with a male that be able to express that red better while she's at peak. She was a great mother too, helped with fixing the nest and moving eggs into it.

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Developing red on her fins like Mom who photo bombed the pic lol First of the sorority to get a name. Fed them some mosquito larvae today. She swam into the net to get some. Get her out, back in. Get her out again, go to release the rest of them, right back in.
"Ugh, you're acting just like Loki"
That's when it clicked, Sylvie. She's a variant lol

This is my pet store rescue Cletis.
Male Twintail Halfmoon

 

[BPSabelhaus]

So, last pic of Pinkie. Wife's friend has wanted a pink Betta and loves Pinkie so I'm keeping Brain instead


Just noticed that this pic really shows off how the pink deteriorates melanin.

Brain

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Brain now

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Lily enjoying brunch with her sisters and mom. Probably going to take a few to the fish store. Have some females from the second spawn in there and want to get it back down to six or so.

She's one of the bigger ones and until a month or so ago only displayed the white. The pink just came in Hoping it lasts. Before that I had nicknamed her the ice princess. She was #2 and had her turf. With the pink I settled on Lily to stick with the flower names for my females.

 

[Fishfur]

Not the best pic as it was taken after the lights went out in a darkened room but this is my new betta. I saw his colour and just couldn’t resist him.

He was labeled a halfmoon but he may not be - his tail doesn’t look full enough for a half moon but that would be a good thing for him.

He also has dragonscales, which were not noticeable in the store lighting. I sincerely hope the dragon scales don’t end up covering his head.

I have no idea what I’ll call him - except for bettas I don’t usually name fish.

This guy has peachy-apricot-yellow fins with a white body - the lighting in this shot makes the fins look more orange than they are, though who knows what shade they might be months from now.

 

[wolfmother]

Cujo and Romeo are having bad tail days, so those are pics when they were having better ones. That's probably the best pic I have gotten of Jett, he is almost impossible to photograph because he is so busy and swims very fast. Plus he recently decided that he hates the camera

I feel that. My king is always busy too. Got lucky getting a couple pictures .

This is my absolute king. He can be hard to get pictures of but this was a lucky day. He was skinny, and pitch black when I got him. Now, he is turning blueish purple and has white streaks in his fins. I have no clue what kind he is. ❤️

 

[IzzBizz]

This is my aquatic baby, Wonder. When I got him, he was in a sad little dirty cup at my LFS. After he was put in his new home, an 8 gallon rectangle, he perked up. He's now super friendly and always comes to see me when I come. He's super photogenic too, so I have plenty of pictures of him on my phone lol. I absolutely love this guy! (also don't forget Pinky the snail lol)

 

[IzzBizz]

Here's a better picture of him where you can see his blues and pink!

 

[Angelfish1977]

This is a happy color version of a betta that I colored I know it’s not real but t thought I would put it here. I used to have a lot of betta in my past but they all died and never lived very long.

Would you be interested in learning how to keep betta alive and thriving? It will probably involve totally unlearning all the misinformation you have been spoon fed.

Bennigan, platinum white halfmoon, lived almost 6yrs in this 6gal bow front.

Hi Fishlorians,

Please welcome my new male Super Delta "Dragon Scale" Betta Splendens, Sky Draconis-Squāma! Long may we reign.
