3 New Crowntails! Pix!

[bettaBetta]

I couldn't resist when I saw some nice cowntails in Walmart and grabbed a 10 gal kit and a couple dividers. Sticking with me greek theme and having a mini "Jason and the Argonauts" theme their names are Jason, phineus, and orpheus.
Jason and phineus were flaring up a strom at their reflections but not Orpheus, so I hope he isn't ill, but he just seems to be kind of shy. He basically looks like a green/steel blue version of Jason.

Phineus

Orpheus

It was a surprise to find such nice Crowntails at Walmart I took all they had. I wonder if they'll change color any like my other betta did when they got to live in better conditions.

i love that second shot of phineus- the white body and blue tips look great

 

[Ethos]

How much did they cost? was it painful?

Gawgeous boys!! I'm in love with Phineus, even I wouldn't be able to resist that handsome BF CT! Good job rescuing them from a life of hell, too. ^.~

Ethos... I assume they cost $3, or whatever W*M charges for all their Bettas.

Phineus is lovely, i think his colours are beautiful.

Thanks guys!

How much did they cost? was it painful?

They were $5.50 each. Not a bad price considering I was about to spend atleast 2 times their total cost to get a crowntail off aquabid because they are so hard to find any non-veiltail betta here.

I finally got some pix of Orpheus flaring, the 2nd pic I used a flash and it changed his color but you can see it better.

They are very nice but I have learned my lesson about buying from Walmart.

That marble is quality! Wonder if they were accidently shipped... He looks double ray? Is he?

 

[JBN]

Wow those CTs are . I'm curious, did you get the name Phineus from the book "A Separate Peace"?
