[Carito]

This forum section here is dead for a few days, hehehe...

so I will post my betta splendens collection up:

imported from Thailand via Aquabid.com (i highly recommend Nicebettas, she's SO sweet and likes to give deals to her buyers, her name is Vinita)

"milk"





"cloud"




unnamed- HE'S A DOUBLE-TAIL copper betta!!! look closely at his tail, it's split in half!


"supernova", a gold dragon... sooo beautiful...


"banana"




still thinking of a name, maybe "andromeda"



what i would like to own one day:

Very pretty. Is the split tail rare or does that particular species always have split tails? I also like the name Andromeda.

Love the looks of the gold dragon, "supernova".

[jimscott]

[Jefforever]

I'm absolutely blown away. I didn't know fish like these even existed. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the warm responses.

I did not know fish like these existed, either. I thought the local Petsmart/Petco bettas were about as pretty as they get.

The double-tail is a rare trait but many breeders breed hordes of fish with the trait to get a few babies with the trait, so it's easily acquirable.

i had a female double tail copper from the same seller, unfortunately, she jumped out of a TINY HOLE in her lid and i found her DEAD AND DRIED UP THE NEXT MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and today one of my beloved albino corydoras catfish was found dead... i buried him...

oops, i digress.

I have a 12-gallon tank as well, with 8 or 9 or so female betta living together. this is very common in the betta hobby, it's called a betta sorority.

there is an insane betta forum : ultimatebettas.com, where everyone talks bettas all day

i highly recommend investing in a few thai-imported betta to anyone. buy a few at a time, to make the $30 or so shipping cost well worth it. betta are very low maintenance fish in my opinion. (feed them twice a day, take 10 minutes each weekend for a water change, 5 minutes if you just have a couple betta).

it's called a betta sorority.

That is freaking hilarious. I always thought it was "beta" like the alphabet so thanks for informing me otherwise.
