Teeny tiny

I was telling Sorrell earlier about my "mini betta" from my red spawn, so I snapped his pic and figured you guys might get a kick out of him too. Out of 300 someodd fish this is the only one who is tiny,everyone else is average...he's just special :P

Somehow he has managed to hold his own all of this time in the 55 gallon that holds the remaining 150+ reds. I noticed him a few weeks ago and he kept catching my eye a few days in a row (which is hard to do in a crowd that size!),but he looked all clampy so I decided to pull him for his own welfare. Now his personality is starting to show and he's really just too cute. :wub:

Here he is at his full size next to one of his brothers for an example :)

Isn't he a little super freak? :lol: But I like him :wub:

Probably,I'm sure no one else would want him :/ And he's fine here with me. He's even found himself on the "live worm" diet, only a select crew get the live food everyday (the younger crowd) and he is now one of them. :)

I would ;)
That's the cutest little betta ever!
It would be interesting to try to breed him and see if any of his offspring come out tiny too.... midget bettas! :lol:
I have a crowntail girl who is half the size of all my other females. I figured she was just young when I bought her, but she has never grown... she's a fiesty little thing though! I love her to bits :wub:

Edit: .... But seriously. If you don't want to keep him for whatever reason, I'd be happy to pay shipping *wink wink nudge nudge*

Synirr, if you want him, he's yours :thumbs: I'd love to see him go to a home but I figured you guys would think I'm insane if I put him up for adoption :lol: I assumed he was one of those -"Oh well,you'd just better stay home with mommy"- kinda boys :lol:

He's a little DT too :thumbs:

That black thing is filter sponge blocking a hole in the plexiglass so she can't wiggle through the divider...

He could hang with teeny little Liza!

Oh! Isn't he just so teeny and adorable. :D Now just think - if someone could find a way to breed miniature bettas and remove that unreasonable aggressive gene from them - we could have huge tanks full of betta boys and girls. Think of the possibilties! :hyper:

He reminds me of the clown fish in Finding Nemo, the one with the "lucky fin". It just made everyone love him more! :wub:
