The betta thread on the old forum was really cool, so I thought I'd revive it!
The more pics you have, the better! :D

Enigma: Bought as a female, had a great debate whether he was male or female, finally decided he was female, added a couple of other "females", and found some rather large bubble nests the next day. Now confirmed he's male :)
This is actually an old pic, but he rarely flares these days, so I don't have a more recent flaring pic!

And a more recent pic. The flash makes him look green, but he still looks blue like in the first pic:


Pixel: Bought as female, but had a pretty good hunch he was male (and he is). He was so tiny when I got him! He's grown quite a lot now.
Baby picture of him:

More recent vid of him flaring:


Mango: One of the "females" I bought to put with Enigma, but also a male. He recently injured himself on something (my best guess is the lid of the tank), so now he's got a wonky jaw and stubby ventral fin, but it doesn't seem to affect him.



Rosemary: The other female I got. She's actually female :p She's got a "lucky fin", like Nemo ^_^ Her left pectoral fin is about half the normal size. It doesn't slow her down a bit, and I didn't even notice it until I'd had her for a couple of weeks!

Shows her lovely colours:


And my most recent addition, Marmaduke. My very first veiltail betta. He's a big boy, so I suspect that he's already a couple years old, but I just fell in love with his colours. He's sort of a "dirty" orange dalmatian.

Shows his spots:

I got pics of all 8 of mine that I will post soon.

I call this HMPK my little pitbull- He's small/stocky and mean as hell. The only time he ever stops flaring is when he's getting fed.

Here is a link to my Betta thread for pictures of my fish...
http://www.bcaquaria.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40

but I'll post some different ones here so it doesn't get too repetitive...

Riel - If only his dorsal was turned around in this shot!




Sidney when I first got him with finrot. He is much better now. He was a bit stressed in this shot.


Ponyo in his waiting area as I change his water.

He is very beautiful , he was a super delta if I'm not mistaken, glad to see you guys got him. I lucked out and found this one today :) Have to take better pix tonight

Diztrbd1!! Yours looks purple!! Very nice :)
thanks, he definitely has some purple in him. If I get him in the right light he is loaded with colors. He's so active I can barely get a good pic of him, might do a video and post it later. Henrik is gorgeous too, glad I didn't get him & you guys did.

There are some absolutely beautiful Betta's on this post, thanks for sharing everyone
I think Henrik would have been happy with you or us! hehe :)

+1 thanks for sharing everyone
