I Treated Myself!

[MewMew42]

I was feeling a little down after mrs sharky died so i went to some fishes and this little guy stole my attention, i don't usually like veiltails but his colour was so beautiful!

brings the grand total to 5 male bettas now and 4 females =]

pictures ahoy!

So sorry about Mrs sharky i remember that thread and it certainly was a mystery

He is beautiful and a lovely viberant red, i'm sure he'll be a good friend to you for sure

very pretty addition, sorry to hear about Ms sharky. I am sure this beauty will cheer you up

 

[MewMew42]

thanks guys =]

It was horrific towards the end of her life =[

but as you said he'll cheer me up =]

I'm getting a 125l soon but i can't get rid of my 10g lol so i guess it'll just have to stay as a betta tank...oh what a shame

 

[MewMew42]

I'm going to call him starburst

well my boyfriend wants to name him solaris...but i think suntan cream lol

 

[CTlovesKS]

Nice colour... I dont blame you for treating yourself I would do the same if I was in the same boat as you...

Also Im very sorry about the lost as your betta...

 

[lilacamy931]

I think suntan cream too! Starburst is good (though also think fruity!) good name!

Beautiful fish! I like Sunburst and Solaris both. I am sooo jealous of your UK stock. Sunburst, Bubbles, Radish, etc. I just have never seen any fish like this over here.... Yes - the betta bug got me. If I ever see one of these here, god only knows what will happen : D

Galanta, are you kidding me? You've got Aquabid! LOL
I know everyone in the UK secretly wants to pack up and leave for the US just for that peasure

 

[Galanta]

I know - it's irrational. It's just this infatuation I have with the orange ones, especially the spotted ones. Getting them from aquabid would be 10x what I pay at the LFS, so I am "trying" not to do it. Though have I have taken up checking aquabid about twice a week now. I just fear what I will do once I spot "Mr. Right". So far no orange spotted veil tails even on Aquabid. I don't know if I am happy about that or not ... ; )

 

[xweeqtx]

Just to tempt you even more, did you see this one?

 

[MewMew42]

ooooo he is a beauty!!!

*drools*

 

[Forestpisces]

HA! It's a half moon Radish!

In the UK finding a nice betta or anything aside from a VT is a rare thing, remember most of ours were recues and came to us in awful states.

I'd die for something other than a VT but have yet to see anything, i've even been checking female stock to check if there is an accidental male in there but no such luck

I've seen some belting wallmart bettas! PLatiniums, CTs, HMs it's just beyong me as to why we can't get rthem as common place over here.

 

[MewMew42]

i see mostly VT's CT's and now increasingly plakats around here! in fact i found m first Ct in a little petshop that just had a huge shipment of them=] now i see them everywhere!

 

[lilacamy931]

I have to say i was astonished the other day to see CTs in a shop! They were basic colours but still really pretty, quite astonished.
