Goodness sake I can't believe they're 5 weeks old already. Where does the time go? Anyway, good job, they look right on track :nod:

I'm a huge AD fan, and I can't wait until season 3 comes out on DVD (supposedly June) It's a huge disappointment that FOX cancelled but not a shock, look at what they did to Family Guy. It's like they just don't know how to deal with a good thing unless it's The Simpson's....which should...

Beautiful shots. I'm currently switching a 100g over to a reef tank and I'm stoked.This thread just makes me :hyper: even more.

I've only seen them on the most extreme, twice! They were the Most Extreme Survivor, and m.e. something else. Apparently they're indestructable! And darn cute :)

I had a tank of frontosa, but I just cleared them out last week to set up a reef tank. Otherwise I keep a tank with a pair of kribs and their bajillions of children and some small synos and mollies w/tons of children (anybody want some kribs or mexican mollies?) Then I have a red devil in a...

awww, I'm sorry to hear this too :(

Stunning. I don't believe I've ever seen one before. They look quite large already, how big are they?

Joby, crazy busy,baby!! Sue, they are in a community tank of their own. There's no way I can set up another tank for only three adults, only for them to spawn in there too. The only other communities I have are cichlids :look: They're outta here! If anybody wants them, make me a reasonable...

:lol: :rofl: :lol: I think you did too! So I've just made a very big decision and I had to rush over here and post about it. I think I'm going to sell these adults, I can't take anymore. I just went and did the first water change on them since the first batch of fry. The new water was...

He's sort of got that swoopy head you like,too. That's a feature of his that I like, he wears it well. This one reminds me the most of his father.I should do a new father and son photo shoot! Maybe I will,maybe I will...

Get a cup with a lid, or a bag, put about half a cup of water and the betta and he should be fine :thumbs: Leave lots of air room. I'd keep him in my cup holder but don't let the heater or ac blow on him.Or put him in a cooler. They travel like champs :thumbs:

Small PH swings won't hurt your fish. The PH down is completely unnecessary so don't worry about it. It's best to adjust your fish to living with your tap water. I've read an article somewhere that spoke of experiments with PH and CO2 in the room. Supposedly when more people were in a room the...

Why are you worried about feeding fish food to your fish? Yes it's fine to give it to them once a week,more if you like. The Formula 2 is good stuff, I've never had a fish turn it down. And no I've never really had the urge although my lfs does make a frozen food that smells pretty...

Exiled!!! It's good to see you. Well done on your letter! :thumbs:

No, they're relatively new and there is no standard to which they need to go by. So the judge can't judge them...because they have no standard. If this guys caudal lobes were split just a weee bit more and a weee bit more even, I'd think he was the perfect speciman! Maybe I'm just partial though...

What a cute story thread :) And a cute dog!

oh maaan she's cute! Congrats on the new addition to your beautiful family :wub:

My thoughts,exactly! That's a lot of mouths to feed, but they all look healthy and beautiful :nod: Plus she has her fish,too :P

Sue, I think they're 5 months....ish? I would have to look it up. Thanks guys, I can't wait until show season starts back up, I'm sending them back for more rejection like their father got :rolleyes: J/K, I'll show them in a temporary class as they can't compete in the DT class nor any of...

Yes, I adore them ^_^ and they are addicting, brace yourself!

Congrats! That pair is stunning.

I paid 4.00 for Band Camp last night on In Demand and watched like 5 minutes of it before I turned it off. What a jip! With that said, the first three are good.

ha ha, demon fish. They've all got a little demon in them somewhere,as well as an angelic side. They're pert near human! Don't worry too much,they usually handle shipping like champs :nod:

Honestly, I didn't browse through the link but I liked Killian right away :nod: I could be partial to the meaning of the name though since my name is Kelly and that means 'warrior woman'. Also, betta splenden means 'beautiful warrior' I was actually looking for a different link that SRC posted...

I wasn't ever too crazy about them, but somehow they've grown on me :look:

Asian Names and meanings

I *think* I've been holding my new camera too close to the fish as I haven't been turning out many decent pics lately. I took this one last night as this guy was putting on quite the show and giving me pose after pose to work with. I took about 60 pics and the best onewas my first :rolleyes...

^...? Sukie, right now I have smaragdina, mahachai, simplex, kapuas and chiangrai (aka as wild splendens) although I don't have any females for those guys.

I swiped that one for a background too :look:

I'm corny and I talk to the fish, sing to the fish....dance with the fish :look: Buuut,I also think it gives them personality. Betta juvies are a trip when you talk to them in a crowded tank. They get downright insistent that "She's talkin' to me!".."No, she was talking to ME!"...and "You're...

They really are stunning :wub:

Thanks, brainiacs!! :* That annoys me to no end. Styx I'm glad you said that about Sukie's fish because I almost PM'ed her to say "I think Styx has a pair for you" but I didn't know whether or not you decided to keep all of them :P Wisperain, I thought the same thing about their name :look:

I have smaragdina and mahachai and they're very similar in disposition to betta imbellis. Extremely laid back, wonderful little fish. Here's the SMP link for starters... http://www.ibc-smp.org/species/imbellis.html

Will do, Sue. Sukie, I got these particular fish from our last show. They were sent in for our wild class.

You know I'm ready :* I've been replaying season 5 on HBO In Demand just to catch up again.

There's just hundreds of them, all different ages, it's crazy! But quite a learning experience. It's quite remarkable how different they are. Good parents and siblings etc :wub: Sue, I couldn't kill that fern if I tried! I've had them since October and they don't get any light or anything.

It's actually a line from Arrested Developement (the show),I didn't expect any of ya's to get it anyway. And the last thing I need is another tank! Thanks for the well wishes, atm. I went to a new lfs today, a salt only shop, and the guy who owns it was really awesome. I believe we'll be doing...

Yeah :nod: They lived with the fronts for a couple years. I kept them and moved them to my krib tank, but I don't know if they like it as well since they don't have the high powered filtration that they had with the fronts.

awww,they look fantastic :wub:
