THAT IS A GORGEOUS BETTA!!!!

I saw one today that looked somewhat like that--but a bit more metallic sheen. If I had a tank...I'd have bought it.

Emg · 07-12-2008, 07:02 PM

Remember I said that and feel free to beat me over the head with it should I post any more new BETTA pics !!

Betta rack?

Mark

Emg · 07-13-2008, 07:19 PM

THIS is my betta rack......

I had over 200 of the little darlings...there were even MORE over on the table and that tank to the right is full of female betta fry......the first time I ever tried breeding fish...and I have to choose bettas ! ...

NEVER....NEVER.......NEVER again !

however.....I certainly DID learn an awful lot during those six months raising them....

Wow thats a lot of bettas! The new one is beautiful. His coloration is really nice.

johnpeezy · 07-14-2008, 12:09 PM

Do you happen to have a sold purple or green one?

I have been looking but I keep coming up empty handed

Emg · 07-14-2008, 02:38 PM

No, but I did have a VERY green female at one time. She was one of the first betta I ever owned.....got a pic of her somewhere here.......

esce4 · 07-14-2008, 05:38 PM

Very nice fish there sis.

Trixie · 07-14-2008, 09:16 PM

I don't have room for any more bettas... but if I ever see a pink one... I'm sunk.

Sylvia · 07-15-2008, 02:32 PM

There was one betta I got that was listed as a female, but its fins grew, so I was afraid to buy a "real" female, in case the other was a male. Are females' fins really really short?

Emg · 07-15-2008, 05:49 PM

I once purchased a "female" betta that turned out to be a male short fin betta. He was a fantastic little fella with a beautiful blue color. I found out he was male when I put him in with two other females.

The difference I saw between him and the other females were the size of his pelvic fins....they were much longer than the female's.

Female's fins are shorter than the males. I wouldn't say that they're "really really" short......but definitely not long and flowing like the males.

female betta

This is that male shortfin that I had.....#1-his coloring was VERY bright and pretty...females just about never look that good. #2-take a look at the pelvic fins....those skinny fins that hang down under the gills....they're quite a bit longer than the female's.

Sylvia · 07-15-2008, 08:07 PM

Wow - great photos; thanks for the pointers! (Nice frog friend by the way.
