Some of you may remember that about 2 weeks ago I brought home a marble delta tail male I had found at the store. I thought he was the cutest thing in the world, and just loved him. But now... he's the most GORGEOUS thing in the world. He has seriously bloomed into probably one of my most beautiful bettas - my mom says he is her new favorite. I can't believe the changes he has undergone - he's even got a bubble nest going. He is one of the most active guys I have, also, so excuse the pictures - it was difficult!


Here he was when I brought him home (with flash - he's blue without):

Omg seeing those pics so close together - I realize it even more now. He's a billion times brighter, darker, and more solid.

Here is his real color (without flash). I just LOVE it.

Alright, here is the jealous neighbor who I also adore. He has the most personality ever - he is always swimming around like nuts and flaring at nothing, whenever he stops he is in full "position" like this. BUT he is also the most scared betta I have. If I move too quick around him he tries to jump out and ends up hiding behind his plant. This is the guy I got at the show, from Jim Sonnier.

And her handsome hunk of a boyfriend. This pic is neat I think, because you can see the color he really is - greenish blue.

lol...tell us how you really feel wuv..Those are some pretty fish. The marble will probably keep changing for awhile. I had a steel that was not supposed to have any marble, and suddenly he went through his cycle. He went white, then steel again, then was going white again when I got rid of him. I'm about this - close to getting a mouthbrooder.. Again..nice fish

When are you going to breed the beautiful black boy?

) Thanks you guys!! I love them all.


Kelly - That little falx certainly is a cutie, but to tell you the truth he has a dent behind his head. Don't know if you want less-than-perfect.

f250fisherman - Mouthbrooders rock. If you're interested in falx, I've got 20+ upcoming babies, and my foerschi have spawned 3 times. The male swallowed the eggs each time, but he's holding them longer every spawn.

Linda - You know you've gotta have a marble. They're pretty awesome.

cation - I'm gonna breed him as soon as I have a female to breed him to. I want a copper gal, but the one I got in the mail still isn't up to par, in fact, now she's got fin rot. I'm almost convinced he sent me a sick fish... But that's another story.
