My Bettas

[stang1]

I just thought I'd post some pics of my Bettas.
Can anyone tell me what sort they are as I'm not too sure.

Gandalf

Aragorn. I rescued him from an lfs because he was being nipped by Zebra Danios. I treated him and thankfully his fins are growing back.

Boromir

As you can see I'm a Lord Of the Rings nut
Only need 6 more and I'll have the fellowship!

They are lovely colours and great names! They look like veil tail to me, though difficult in the fist 2 pics as their fins aren't showing fully. The second pic, his anal fin seems very short, has it been damaged? Will be easier to tell if you can get pics of them flaring though. (But I'm no expert.)

When we went to one of our lfs they had Aragorn in a tank full of Zebra Danios. He had been nipped quite badly and I told the owner of the shop. He acted surprised and said that he had bred Bettas for years and hadn't had this problem before! Other than that he wasn't particularly bothered and wasn't in a rush to move him. I had to rescue him and ended up keeping him in a breeding net in one of my tanks until I could sort out his own tank. Sadly, his fins were quite bad but after treating him for a week they healed and have started to grow back.

Sorry about that, you did say it in your first post, I just read it for the red one, Boromir, by mistake!

lovely betta's, pretty sure they're VT's

i really like the block colouring though, when you get one that's purley striking blue or red, sooo pretty

Thanks Miss Wiggle.
Boromir and Gandalf had just arrived in a shipment at the lfs while we were there. I only had enough tanks to take two and there were ten to choose from! As you can imagine it took me ages to decide which two to take. I chose these two because they were pretty much one colour and I haven't seen many around.
My other half despairs everytime I spot one cos I'd love to take them all home! One day.....

Thanks Sylvia. I must admit he probably is my favourite, but don't tell the others!

 

[Andy1982]

Yeah I'll sort out some pics in the next week or so (or how long it takes me to figure out how to attach my computer to my camera lol! ).

He is his twin, He has a great personality. the other day he swam into this hole in a rock and kept popping his head out when the Tetras swam past lol!

Hi!
Have you got any pics of your Bettas, I'd love to see them.
I know what you mean about fish shops, my other half panics for the same reason!
Great choice with the Pictus, we have 3 of them and they are lovely. So much character and great to watch!

i love the pictus catfish i stood in the petshop n watched them 4 wat my bf (bozza, am usin his log in name hehehe) complained 2 b hrs (it was like half an hr) i also thought bout the cuckoo catfish but heard they wernt as easy 2 look after n i think get bigger not sure on that 1 but i do think i prefure the pictus hehe cant wait till i get mine.
i was gonna get it sooner but torrens (bozza) is goin away 4 bout 6 wks n i promised id look after his fish n as i cant get in2 his house they r bein braught over 2 my place i take no responabilities 4 ne deaths.
he just has american flags guppies n harliquins. tho i do like the american flag fish.
but 2 make it easier we are usin my tank (meant 4 the pictus) instead of cartin 2 big tanks over, just gonna b the one.
so i have 2 wait 4 my pictus
gandalf, boromir and aragorn are very beautiful bettas.
