Some New Plakats

I got a shipment of bettas in the other day. It's a pair of plakats and I really like them a lot. Some pics are below. Let me know what you think, and if you can guess who they came from! The greenish shine is actually blue in real life, but my dig cam is really old so use your imagination

Male:


Male again:


Female:


In the spawn tank:


Not sure if they're sexually mature, but female seems to have some eggs (I don't want a huge spawn) and is showing nice vertical barring. The male has built a bubble nest. I released the female today as both seem to be in excellent condition (and I've heard some success stories of bettas spawning easily soon after shipment). The male is currently frantically squirming his body for the female with his fins fully flared (he's a SD when fully flared).

So, any name suggestions are really helpful as I'm horrible at that!

I love them! I can't think of any names, but they are both beautiful. Hope the eventual spawn goes well!

Thanks! Female was hiding from the male in some pretty unusual spots. Though she still had her breeding bars, I decided to separate her into the chimney again and wait at least a few more days. In the meantime I'll continue conditioning them and let the 'tension' between them build up before a proper release.

Those remind me of Synirr's kiddies. .

Very cute!!!

BINGO. That's because they are! They're both from the Leviathan x Blondie spawn They should marble up soon...

They look good, I'm glad they made the trip OK

Nice colors and lovely pairs.

Give them adorable/cheesy thematic names!
