well went to the LFS to buy some lamp eyes for my small tank but noticed they had some bettas in , the ususal red, blue, marble and them saw they had an orange :eek: and then saw two pink ones flaring at each other through the glass. And one of them was flaring and fighting off the golden rams in his tank at the same time! Well i had to have him so hes now living with two peacock gobies 4 small platy fry, 2 albino cories and a pygmy corie and 2 ghost shrimp. and he flares at them all. Once i've got film for my camera i'll take pictures but hes a VT with a pale pink body and fins with red spots on his tail!! He's a bit ragged at the moment from being with rams but he now seems happy and shows off all the time! He is called "Hellboy" :D
 
A Pink Betta... wow... now that's a fish you only come across very rarely. Can I have him? jk ;)

Hellboy... hehe that a name of a movie too!

Good Luck with your new betta :)
 
My boyfriend accused him of being girly (what with the pink colour) so i gave him a macho name it was Hellboy or Riddick! and since he was red around the gills and he flares at everything including shrimp, plants and heaters ....Hellboy it was!!
Should be getting some snails this week wonder what he'll make of them.
Just wish i had film in my camera so i could show him off !!

thinking about it hes the colour of this smiley :wub:

Hehe... Hellboy would fit him, if he always flares like that :)
That really cool that he is around that colour... I'm trying to image what he looks like but it's really hard because I have never seen a pink betta before. I hope that you can take a picture of him soon, I can't wait!
 
Way to go on rescuing Hellboy from the Ram tank. He sounds right fancy, I'll be glad to see pics of him. Oh and tell your bf that REAL males aren't threatened by wearing the colour pink! :rofl: Hellboy sure sounds like he has attitude to spare. I'm glad to see by reading in these forums that I'm not the only one who gets hugely tempted by new batches of Bettas, that's how I ended up with Jack, who is metallic royal blue, turquoise, teal, some blood red on his fins plus white touches. Just can't resist a cute fish! :rolleyes: Which is why I haven't been near any lfs Betta sellers lately! It's way worse than being at the dog pound and seeing cute puppies.
 
I'm really bad everytime i go to a local LFS i see a fish i want. So when setting up my new tank i bought everything online to avoid going to the shops and buying more fish! :shifty:
I had been wanting a betta for a long time, i'd always loved the pictures of crowntails on this site, but over here good bettas are quite rare i would have to mail order a crowntail which is expensive! And i have always avoided buying a veiltail but when i saw Hellboy i couldn't resist :wub: How often do you see a pink betta with red spots on his tail. now i just sit in the kitchen watching hellboy flare at everything and he loves being at the front of the tank. think he blew his fins on the way home from the shop they are looking quite tatty now! Photos will be coming soon!! :p
 
Hellboy , that is awesome, I named one of my former fry , now an adult that, mine has a pinkish white body with red fins and some cellophane. WOW, that is a cool coincidence. :thumbs:
 
wow!, you 2. i gots a pink female fighter, shes awesome, not really an expert on bettas but i didnt no that theyre not common, shes got a belly full of eggs at the mo aswell as two of her sisters but im not goin to be able to carry on the pink genes cos i havent got any equiptment or anything. NVM
 
:( i had a pink female betta but she died two days after i got her but her female friend is okay. I called her kiss because she had a little x mark at the back just short of her caudal tail
