Your fish are gorgeous! I'm looking forward to pic of your fry.

I find fish breeding very interesting. I have fancy goldfish and would love to breed them someday. I'd need more room and the floor would have to reenforced though, lol. I have two telescopes, a black moor and my very first oranda. Ultimately I would love to have a fish and possible pond store. Koi are amazing too. I had no idea they had Koi clubs, show and auctions where the fish sell for tens of thousands.

i had a little betta & loved him so much! i trained him to jump within the fish tank to get treats!!! seeing your fish really bought back his memory.... he had so much personality and was so wonderful, now i'm really missing him!!!

I love this thread!

We have Scooter who is about 3. He came home to live with us the same day as Wolfie (coincidence and boring story).

LOL.

Here is a video of Scooter

I had no idea there would be so much interest in bettas! I'd have posted sooner if I had known. They really are neat little guys, fun to have around. I also find that watching fish is really soothing. I admit that I don't relax too much when I watch the babies. Instead I sit there and squee over them, haha.

I love hearing about other peoples' fish and seeing pictures!

I have another that thinks he is Jaws. They love getting frozen bloodworms as treat, all of them swim to my fingers as fast as they can and snatch them except for one fish. He will circle the bloodworm and watch it like he's waiting for it to try and escape. Around and around he'll go until suddenly he darts forward, grabs it, and hauls it to the bottom on his tank to eat. He cracks me up to no end. Some are laid back, others think they need to show everything that moves how big and tough they are.

My girls all have different personalities too. I have 2 that are very shy. They stay at the back of their tanks when they see people coming, but then slowly make their way to the front for food. I have another that gets so excited over food that she will leap out of the water. I have to keep her water level low so she doesn't jump out. She jumps impressively high.

The average life span of a pet store betta is generally not more then a year or two. A betta from a reputable breeder can live up to 5 years and I've heard of a few rare cases of them living longer then that.

After learning what I have, I despise pet store care of bettas and the ridiculous containers that they sell to people to house them in.

These are a couple other pictures of fish I have. Definitely not your average pet store betta!




WOW.....STUNNING!!!!! Are these all Bettas? I never seen these before..quite amazing!

Yep! They are all Bettas. The ones you see in pet stores are definitely much different. They come in so many tail types and amazing colors. I really love them.
