Well These are my two Bettas and their stories!
Here is the story of the newer one!
Well I recently started really loving female betta's, even ordered a "Super Black" (full black) which inturn I ended up not buying. Here is the story and pictures of my newest betta...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways I had a spare 2.5 gallon with a filter and heater from my hospital tank. So I grabbed some substrate on sale, its black sand. From there I went ahead and grabbed a couple plants which turned out were not water safe plants unlike what the LFS' said.
I grabbed a couple other plants and grabbed a betta. I returned it the next day as he just didnt click and didnt seem to healthy.
I went and asked ordered a super black from a new fish shop which had a far larger and rarer selection of every fish.
I showed up a couple days later and it was in. Though another betta caught my eye. A "Metallica" type female. There seem to be many variations of "Metallica" Betta but I chose a nearly pure silver one. Unfortunately the images only caught her with her red and green tinge, though she also has a blue one in specific lighting as well.
Basically she normally looks silver.
I ended up grabbing another plant and spreading it around the tank. Heck I ended up spending 60$ with a large assortment of stuff for my other tanks and this one.
Lets get to the pics:
Here is where I set the tank up:
Here are a few shots of the tank:
Here she is, she doesnt have a name yet but Tuna is one of the options.
Enjoy, and any tips on the photos would be great!
Spiky my male Betta!
I ended up buying a Betta even though the 5 gallon is far from cycled. Reason being they were about to feed Bettas to very large fish (not sure of species) and I asked why they were doing so. Well truth turned out to be they couldn't sell the Bettas and a new stock was coming in. So I said Ill buy one (Ill take pics in a few hours and post them in other fish pictures).
He is a Crown tail Betta, the front half of his body is black as night, while the rear becomes a dark navy blue. The fins start off as a light blue/green (kinda light turquoise) and end in dark blood red.
