BEEP BEEP BEEP ( alarm sounds )HAMBONE said:Is anyone else disappointed that this thread wasn't aboot Britney Spears??
I like the name Alex, may have to steal that one Not so keen on Malcolm though.Mamashack said:Has he got what is called marble colouring? In one of the photos he looks like Malcolm McDowell in the Clockwork Orange with one eye made up! lol
You could call him Alex (his character in that film or even Malcolm!)
Blackberry, is a cute name, but I see from later postings you have set yourself on Oddball?Ny82 said:It'e been years since I watched that! I really dislike the name malcolm!!! I think oddballs an awesome name!
I don't know what his official colouring would be called
My little one said lets call him blackberry because he's purple haha
Aw sucks, thanks, I still have a lot to learn, but like to do my research on everything I ownNy82 said:Yeah definitely! RCA is the siamese fighter guru!
Can you get some floating plants, as the Bettas like these, and it shields them from the light? Have seen he is happier though since the move, probably because he feels he can get away from that "face" starring at himNy82 said:Thanks, he's very shy at the moment, when I switched the tank lights on he immediately swam to the bottom and sat on the sand. Made a good pic though

Fighters tend to cruise around but if they are after something or want to hide they can't half shift. It is just they tend to not like strong currents due to their general cruising nature.Ny82 said:He is a cracker Ny82, reminds me somewhat of my recent loss. And he was great. Does he have a sort of irridescant shimmer to him like a moths wing? Blackberry is a great name, all my kids could come up with was Mr fish. Not too dissimilar to this.

I know! They look similar! Yes he does, when he swims there's a yellow and pink sheen to him. Aww bless! Mr fish is adorable!
Here's the weird part. Yesterday he just looked white from a distance. Today he has darkened, his head is mottled purple, the middle bit is a very strange orangey colour that his head was yesterday in that pic from earlier, the rest of his body is pastel blue and his fins are pastel blue with striking pink. What a concoction!
I forgot to add-those who say siamese fighters can't swim fast have not seen mine-he moves at the speed of light when I go near the tank!
Gee thanks, Shelster, I have been missing you all too...now so much to catch up on with limited time!Shelster said:Ah I was wondering where she was to.
We're missing you RCA!
I have Assassin Snails, they are great as they spend most of their time under the substrate, but keep pest snails at bay. They stay fairly small and hunt at night generally, but if you do see them their colouring is quiet attractive.Ny82 said:I had about 5000 snails! They just got out of hand, I sold so many! Now I have 1 in each tank!oh dear xD
either get a magfloat which you can use to scrub it away or snails xD
