Three New Bettas

[t.ropical_m.istx3]

they are beautiful. You pick out some nice fish

thanks but i think they pick me out

goose is settling in nicely. he's still a bit uptight about being around pacific, but pacific's going to be moved into a new tank (once we get it. stupid sale bowls) so maverick and goose are side by side
maverick's doing great.
when i woke up this morning, chris was staring at me like "can i eat yet?"


so yeah, they're doing great.

Goose doesn't look quite right to me... maybe its just the pic, but his face looks a bit swollen, and he looks clampy.

I agree, I read your letter post, which one was he? Like which one of the ones of the conditions you rescued the fish form was he? Maybe there is something underlying based off of the previous care before you got him.

They all look pretty though! And good to you for saving them!

he was in with the mollies. i think it's just the picture, i can try to get some better ones here shortly. it really doesn't look like that in reality.

Alright, I was just thinking that maybe if he was in with the gouramies or the algae cup, maybe he either got a bit beat up or he got something from the stress of the crappy cup water. If he doesn't look that way in reality that's great! I just was looking out for you and the fish, sometimes we miss things that others may see . You have the fish next to you, and only you would know what he looks like in person ! Did I say I love the colors yet? If not I'm saying it now... I love their colors!

she's gotta do everything i do
i'm just worried about his care.

okay, i got some more pictures, but as i was taking them i saw what you may have been seeing. his gills look like they're darker blue than the rest of him and then they turn pink. let me upload the pics anyways.

 

[t.ropical_m.istx3]

here ya go

what's circled in white is just a dark blue color while what's circled in dark grey is his pinkey coloring. i do see where you see the illusion as it's kinda swollen, if that's what you were talking about.

here's some more of chris, too

and another of iceman slipped in, too

That's what I was referring to. Cameras tend to make everything a little "eh" when it comes to lighting and shadows. Glad to hear that it is just that .

 

[t.ropical_m.istx3]

phew. you had me in a panic there
yeah, that is how it looks though. he was napping so he didn't want his picture taken. (i know that plants ugly, but it came in a package with two other nice looking plants and he needed more coverage so he didn't see pacific as much). he was like "another mommy? let me go back to sleep."

Can I just say, I'm so jealous that everyone else gets to have a whole bunch of pretty bettas while Darby and I have only each other to play with.
If I started stocking all my shelves with Bettas, my honey would have a conniption fit though.
Guess I'll just have to live vicariously through everyone else. They're so pretty! *Gives them fishy kisses*
...
Yes, Darby does put up with the kissy face. But he loves me anyway.

 

[t.ropical_m.istx3]

he's so cute though

 

[Phaedra]

I know, I wub him. He's such a character.
