Betta Pics here!

This thread is making me think of changing my favorite fish. KaraWolf, that General was a great fish!

Neat KaraWolf, aren't white Betta had to find? I never see them.

yes they are >> even more so when your buying them from cups because even the whitest of bettas are stressed and not showing if they have any tint. By the time General really colored up he was really metallic grayish and metallic blue at just the right angle. Halo is interesting pink and white will post his pic when I have a non-blurry one good purple ones are really hard to locate too
Thanks BallardFishGuy and MRTom!!!

So I may have a lead on B. macrostoma... nothing solid yet but I guess there is someone in the state that breeds them. I would love to get a pair!!! Cory also said he can get them for me but the price is really steep for me at $200 a pair, they are amazing fish though that's for sure!

:bounce:  Yes however space is at a premium in my tank room (as in my wife says no more) so I would have to see how I could do it. At first I would just get them in one tank and if they do breed I would worry about the next step after that. :twisted:

I won't comment about being able to trade in spouses at the LFS ... : 

But if you could get a pair and get them to breed, just show her the prices they go for on aquabid. :spoton:

Ha yes that's true and it crossed my mind already...both things :iagree: 

My other thought is you can raise fry in the same tank as the parents it's possible in a planted tank but not as many will survive so worse case senario I could keep all my Albi's in one tank and have my other two for the Mac's.

Latest pictures of Hubert Cumberdale. Got some torn finnage when I got this picture, but it's been two days since then, and his fins seem like they are recovering. Hurray.

 

[BallardFishGuy]

Nice!!!

BallardFishGuy: Thanks!!

those betta pics of yours look stunning! I want to read more about wild type bettas. My mind was blown when I found out today that you could keep males together...

OK why the name? According to an online 'urban' dictionary it can mean: "A name used to describe someone who's a little strange or possibly smelly."

Is your fish smelly and in need of a deodorant? :joker:

Hubert Cumberdale is a cartoon character, who looks like this:

. . . a finger puppet if you will. I don't know, the name just struck me to be catchy sounding...
If it was a female betta, I would name her "Marjory Stewart Baxter"

And to quote:
"I wonder what you taste like... *lick lick*
Marjory Stewart Baxter, you taste like sunshine dust.
*lick lick*
Ew!
Hubert Cumberdale, you taste like soot and poo. "

I posted my betta elsewhere, so I thought I'd finally join in the fray

Thanks Poke for making the sale last weekend!

Nice betta, MRTom :spoton:

MrTom: Woohoo!! Handsome little fella that betta! Has your female betta gotten a glimpse of her new soon to be mate?

DMD123: Yeah, don't lick your finger puppets, kids...

 

[MRTom]

Thanks DMD!

MrTom: Woohoo!! Handsome little fella that betta! Has your female betta gotten a glimpse of her new soon to be mate?

She did for a little while, not sure what to make of her reaction yet. She mostly ignored him, then they flared at each other a bit, then she went on to terrorize her shrimps. :shock: So the love birds are apart for the time being. :scratch:

 

[PokeSephiroth]

LOL... it's gonna be like that huh? Perhaps a love/hate relationship... such is the world of the Betta =P
There should be a soap opera for this. Seriously. Someone get in on this! =P

 

[jettej]

Soooo, if i get a dumbo and breed it would people buy it? I mean they're such a beauty and i'm pretty sure you could ask a little bit more bucks for them?

Seeing all the pretty bettas - I want another one. I have plenty of food, but I lost my fish earlier this year and I've not gotten anymore bettas yet.

I may get a pair of Killifish for my 7 gallon (once problems are resolved) or maybe a betta. I've not decided yet. I wish I could set more tanks up... I have a 5 gallon that would be great for a betta. Just no place to set it up yet.
