My Black Orchid HM Betta....RIP :(

[Diztrbd1]

Just sharing some pix of the Black Orchid HM I picked up at IPU a few weeks ago. Hard to catch a good pic of him in full flare as he has A.D.D. lol But hopefully will have one soon and probably a vid or two.

He's looking nice. Awesome home for a betta.

Thanks everyone, gonna get a video up soon If can can catch him flaring.

CC: yeah I love that tank, 3gal glass tank with curved front corners. It was Zakk's home till he passed , so this guy is a great replacement in there

Totally agree with your comment in an other thread about these small tanks making great betta homes. I like the cave you've got set up- my guy used to love hanging out in his. Beautiful fish and tank.

Do you ever sell your babies?

I bred bettas about a hundred years ago, and it was awesome.

I have a 2.5g desktop tank that would be perfect in the kitchen, and a 10g spare I could put females/fry in

Please let me know!

Thanks Storm. Any tank I have, that has a Betta , has a cave as well. One thing I have learned is they are very curious fish and always exploring & they really love their caves and plants. That cave in general is actually a lizard cave , but he really loves it lol

Thanks Jason. I haven't tried breeding yet myself....maybe one day. Would love to find a matching female, but the odds are slim and chances the fry would come out with the same colors is slim as well. But one day I do plan on trying. Athena breeds them if you are looking, you might check with her. Here is a couple of her threads:

Thanks Conrad. I like the sand too, makes for a nice look and easier to maintain than any gravel I have used.
