Betta Paradise

Not yet... but that's what's going in my 10gal once I set it back up...

I've rather fallen for Betta coccina ATM but that might change by the time I'm ready for a pair.

Wild bettas are a real juwle's.

Around a mouth ago i didn't have any bettas and then i look at some drop dead bettas and i cought the betta bug agein and now i have 6 bettas and 2 more are on the way, So don't say i didn't warn you cause once you get one you get 20 LOL.

And @marko@ do you have any bettas?

Update.

The plants have really grown and the bettas are doing great.

**@marko@** · 05-31-2008, 04:24 PM

wow, they look happy, and more colorful.

yeah, just splendens though.

What do you mean "Yeah, Just splendens though"

**@marko@** · 05-31-2008, 04:39 PM

you asked if i keep any bettas. i told you yes, but only b. splendens (the common betta, the siamese fighting fish), not the wild types.

Paleo fish · 05-31-2008, 05:03 PM

What types of splendens do you keep Like do you keep plakats or Do you keep long finned ones?

**@marko@** · 05-31-2008, 05:09 PM

a few monthes ago i had a male patriot CT, and a female cambodian VT with a little blue. i spawned them and kept 2 of the spawn, 1 in a seperate tank and the other in the community tank. they were both males, cambodian, one with green fins, the other with light red and blue (like a blurry patriot), they had VTs but with fringy ends. the green one died however after exploring my canister filter via surface skimmer (i never new he would even attempt squeezing in there, but he did, couldnt get out, and i had to take him out and block the opening). the parents i had to give away (mom made me), and now i have just the one, but he is young, pretty and very active (suprisingly so for a betta).

wow, the grass looks happy it grew, a LOT. and i guess the bettas like it since they have more places to explore and hide from the camera.

Yeah the bettas are happy since it looks Like there home out in the wild.

BTW I got a picture of one of the fry, I'll post it later.
