Bumping the thread and adding a few new pics.

Pixel:

It's not easy to get pics in an acrylic, bowfront aquarium, but I'm pretty happy with this one of Enigma:

Nice pics Bulldog & thanks for bumping this up , I know there's more than 4 Betta's owners on this site...sure hope to see some more members Betta's

So i found some flaws in my betta tank my overflow holes are just big enough for my bettas to stick their heads into (my doubletail decided to stick his head in there and got stuck but i got to him before any permanant damage was done to him, he seems to be heeling up fine and only time will tell how much scaring he will show from it ) so i changed it by putting screens on them and just letting the water flow over the walls, the section with the heater in it is just untill i get a smaller filter, there's a dwarf pufferfish in with the heater and he seems to love it in there

CC that is one gorgeous Betta, thanks for sharing

Spit....that tank looks great , plan on doing something like that myself. Sorry to hear about your split tail, they are definitely curious fish, hope he is recovering ok

Love that setup Spit! I really like the betta with the orange/red tail

That one is way cool CC, I can see why he's a favourite! His colours are really unlike anything else I've seen!

depends on the species of gourami, some are quite territorial while others would do fine with a betta, stay away from kissing gouramis tho

WOW! Nice shots! Now I have to get to mine too.
Just wondering, why would bettas start biting their tails? I have couple of those now too. Are they bored?

 

[Diztrbd1]

Beautiful Betta's! Great pix everyone! Thanks for sharing !

Atom, I really like Locke's color, would love to see a recent pic of him.

jordonsmum:Nice collection... I'll bet the last one in part II looks really cool when he flares, very nice colors

Roadrunner: I have never seen any of my Betta's biting their tail, but maybe they do it for the same reasons dogs chase their tails lol

Here's a oddball shot of my split tail....sorry not the best quality
the blue lips kills me lol

My theory based on my personal experiences with Bettas is that I believe they really don't like having the extra heavy finnage dragging behind them. None of my crowntails are tailbiters and so far only my halfmoons have done this, but only after a certain point. They start to bite when their tails have reached a certain spread and length. I think it may partially be stressed related so they give themselves "fincuts" to reduce drag. This of course is based off my own bettas and observations.

Atom, I really like Locke's color, would love to see a recent pic of him.

I will see if I can get a recent photo of him. He is the same colour, but with tattered fins.
