Well here are my new pair of Betta foerschi. For those of you that don't know, they are another species of the genus Betta. Not the same as the typical pet store betta, which is Betta splendens, so don't expect rainbow colors. They're incredibly beautiful, IMO though. :wub: I'm hoping they'll breed, they're mouthbrooders like my falx, and it would be awesome, as they're not very common. :hyper:


Their oh so pretty tank. :p

THEY'RE AWOOOOOOOMMEEEEEEEEEEE! :wub: :wub:

more pics :kewlpics:
 
Thanks Kelly. :D You worded how I feel about them perfectly!! :lol: Yeah, I just got one male, as all the fish on the list were sold in pairs, or in unsexed bunches. So far, the male is bugging the female more than the other way around though, so it shouldn't be a problem. I don't know if I have room for another male anyway. :S


Either way, I'm psyched. :wub:
 
I'd like to say I'm planning on breeding them, but really it's up to them now. :lol: They're mouthbrooders, so can breed right in the tank they're in. My falx sure didn't have a problem with it. :blink: :lol: Anyways, if they do, I'll move the male into the spawning tank and viola! We'll hope for the best. :thumbs: I'll definitely be distributing fry if the... three ... of us are successful. :p
 
Great fish you got there Julie, good luck with them :)
