He's a beaut!! And those spots are really cool :). Nice catch!

I'm relieved to know that he was just gaining more colour on him! :wub: I've adjusted his tank set up and so far he has been rather content! I feel silly sometimes asking these questions because usually I know the answer already. I suddenly feel like a big newbie to bettas! I guess I am a...

While he was flaring, he gained red streaks on his fins. I am not home right now so I don't know if they're still there, but they stayed there for at least an hour after he started to calm. Here's a pic: I'm not sure if this something to be concerned about, or if this is just new colouring.

nope. It's a 5.5 gallon so I don't really have options. I ended up putting my temp. thermometer in front of the part he was reacting (it's really tall) and it seems to have stopped him from flaring. I didn't really want to have that thermometer in my tank anymore so I'll have to try and find...

Is he just feeling really manly all of a sudden?

Right! Well, he never flared for me before. Ever. Could care less about his reflection. Suddenly, he's started to flare at EVERYTHING and he won't stop! I tried turning the light off, covering the tank with a black scarf, but he just won't stop! I'm really worried he's going to stress himself...

Thanks everyone! I feel like he's growing quite a bit since I got him. I'm not sure what the rate of growth is normally for bettas, but he's definitely gained a little more length. His tail is growing in a lot more than I was expecting (I originally thought he was a round tail but his tail...

Thanks! Yes that is one of the main things that caught my eye when I saw him! I loved how the light hit off of him. The shininess of his body was amazing!

Hi everyone! I bought a new betta just over a week ago! I originally named him Perry after Dr. Perry Cox from the TV Series Scrubs. As I got to know my new little guy a little more, I came to realize that Perry was not a suitable name for him at all. The problem was, I really didn't know what...

Nope, it sure doesn't! He's already dancing when he sees me reach for the food. I'm happy to see that! haha.

Thanks! He's definitely fun to have around. He's super active, that's for sure! He's starting to get used to me now. Doesn't swim away the minute he sees my hand with food! He's starting to realize that big hand gives him food! haha. I may also change his name. Perry doesn't really suit him...

Haha, oohhh boy! Okay. So I did my best to get a few decent shots. Every single picture is either blurry or is just of his behind (since he kept hiding). I decided I would let him have his privacy after a couple tries...but I do have a few to show! They are nowhere near excellent, but this will...

Alright, good to know! I hope he likes pellets...they are my favourite thing to use! =P

Thanks for all the information! :). I'm leaving him alone for awhile so he can get used to everything. I tried feeding him, but he completely ignored the food. I did manage to get him to eat one pellet though so it isn't completely a lost cause! =P. I guess I'm still adjusting with having a...

Yes, I'm working on it! Though he seems to hate the camera and is swimming away as fast as he can when I put the camera up to him! haha. I guess I will just have to give him some time to get used to me :P
