Betta Resistance Is Futile?

[RCA]

What do you think of this guy I saw this week? 
 
Pretty stunning I thought, but I resisted him - amazing really that I manage it - would you have got him - answer in the poll please

 

 

 
I have a video of him if you want to see it let me know?

He's a beautiful example RCA - however I voted no purely because I have my heart set on a purple one so once my 30L tank is cycled that's what I'll be looking for.

 

[Shelster]

I said no too, again he is stunning but I do like them with colour

However, having said that, he would look lovely with green plants behind him

How many bettas do you have RCA?

 

[TallTree01]

I said yes. He's a stunner! However, you have sommany bettas you can barely get out your front door already?

I saw a gorgeous betta in my lfs the other day that I managed to resist but I'm going back there tomorrow and if he's still there who knows! he was half black and half white!

Give them a ring and see? Reserve him

As soon as I saw mine I had to reserve him

I voted no simply because I am not particularly partial to dragon bettas.   He is a nice looking betta though.

Lol, tempting but I am meant to be downsizing tanks as I have a little one along the way, but if he is there tomorrow perhaps it was meant to be and 1 more small tank can't hurt can it?

Don't have a third option.
I didn't get mine soley on coloration. Had my eye on an orange VT. It was more attitude, and how he interacted with me. So got a red CT.

 

[Essjay]

I voted no.
 
I had a betta that colour only mine was a superdelta. He went blind, something I've since learned can happen to dragons. With mine, the white scaling grew over his eyes; by the time he died, one eye was completely covered and the other had just a tiny bit of black left for him to see out of. I've sworn never to get another dragon.
 
 
Edit - must learn to spell

 

[DreamertK]

I voted NO because my gourami would kill him. Mines not a proper home at all.
 
He's very lovely though.

ROFL @ Talltree! Your locations get longer and more bizarre by the day!
In your last post here, there were a couple of lines for the post then loads of space because of the profile location! lol

 

[TallTree01]

Hehehe. I like to be precise. LOL. You gotta give credit to frapadoodle he came up with Orion's arm part.

 

[Mamashack]

Yes that makes all the difference - would hate anyone to get lost on the way! lol

 

[betta fish]

Well you are right!  resistance is indeed futile!! I went back to the lfs but they didn't have what I wanted so I couldn't leave empty handed could I? he was still there 

 so he came home with me and I got some plants too, wisteria and Java fern, he has a 95l tank all to himself! well him and a few apple snails plus a baby bristlenose 

I've called him Ralph, he's very feisty! settled down immediately, flared at his reflection and chased the bristlenose into it's tunnel lol!
