Added a couple new wild-type species to the family this month, along with a pair of yellow plakats, figured it was time to show everyone off. I don't have any new shots of my Betta falx, but if you're interested, the thread is somewhere.
I do have some new shots of my Betta burdigala I wanted to share. The female has changed from being a light pinky color to being marbled:
Its unexpected, but I love the way she looks.
And not to leave the male out, here he is being a grump:
And a shot to show off his lovely colors (he's hiding his head, being a grump):
Now on to the new additions!!
I've had the Betta pugnax since September, but they are very camera shy. Finally managed a couple of not so great pics, but they'll have to do:
Just hangin' out:
"If we dance, will you feed us?"
"Whatchu lookin' at huh?"
(I love the puggy faces)
Then we have the Betta enisae:
The female:
The male (wish he was showing off his pretty fins for you):
The pair:
As of last night, the enisae male is holding. Its their first spawn, so here's hoping. I'm not expecting much, the falx spawn every two weeks but not successfully. But I still love to watch the papa turn the eggs. I just love mouthbrooders.
On to the Betta raja (they're still juvies, but cute none-the-less):
"Are you here to feed me?"
"How about now?"
"Maybe if I look all cute you'll feed me now?"
"I can be even cuter if that'll help"
(The raja are major beggers, like little puppy dogs)
And, even though they're not wilds, I wanted to show off my new yellow plakats. The male however is recovering from a split tail fin (he didn't enjoy his trip across country) and therefore, hasn't been too photogenic. But the female has more than made up for that. I just love her.
Lookin' pretty:
Shakin' what her mama gave her:
Whew, I'm done now.
