First Ever Betta

wow thats an awesome looking betta, where did you buy him through?

also how expensive was it? looks like a lot of them are$30 on ebay
thanks ^^
finzntailz.co.uk Same ebay price.. I was only allowed to get him on the promise that I wouldn't ask for any more fish! :shifty:
 
I thought I recognised him! big fan of Finz n Tailz fish although i have none myself Yet! He's another importer local to me :D

Any pictures of his tank?

Here's the tank so far... have ordered some java ferns which should come next week.. It's looking pretty empty at the moment! Also, the water level is low so he can't jump out - he can't jump out from that hieght right?

You'll be surprised how high they can jump! i have a female with swimming difficulties that easily jumps 1.5" over a divider

Too right! My juvine male was such an escape artist! He jumped out of his temp breeder trap which was 3 inches out of the water a few times.

Just be careful :good: He's stunning! I've been tempted by finzntails so much haha.
 
i'm quite worried now! Think i'll have to cover up the larger gaps in the lid, I thought because his fins were so long and he can't swim so fast that he wouldn't be able to get enough speed to jump out - I don't want to risk it though,
Yes they are very tempting! I'm sneakly setting up another tank despite my no more fish promise.. :shifty:

yes so am I 9 tanks later! :lol: Mainly Bettas! 10 Males *+3 to come!* & 13 females so far :look:
 
:drool:

He has to be one of the best looking bettas I have ever seen. I've been looking on the 'Finz n Tailz' website recently just out of curiosity, haven't seen him though! Was he bought through their website or eBay?

Wow - haha I only just got the one yesterday and I want more! :lol: They're lovely to watch and it's a nice change from my food obsessed tiger barbs!

Neither actually - forgot to say! There's a finzntailz youtube account, I asked about the betta in the video. It had only just been uploaded so I think he would've got up on ebay or the site!

yes, hopefuly he'll sleep on the java fern leaves instead of on top of the filter, :)

Sorry.. I can't stop photographing! :lol: Last ones I promise..
