I went out to a few fish shops today just looking around. I had the intentions of getting a 1.5 kritter keeper and a male betta. I looked around at both stores the first one didnt have any bettas and the second one had a couple but none really to my fancy. Then I was looking in a tank which had some females in it and out popped this gorgeous boy :wub:

I'm not sure what tail type he is? Maybe just a young vt? He's definately a baby still :wub: He reminds me of a mustard gas though I can't seem to capture that in pictures. He seems to come out just tourquoise but in real life he's blue,some turquoise and some yellowy/white.

I haven't bought a male betta in ages ..I only have 1 other in a bowl :)

So here he is what do you think?

haha :lol: All of a sudden I've got the urge to buy lots of kritter keepers and buy lots of boys. Ut-oh :*) I thought I started then stopped this obsession but seems months later it's creeping back up :p Still though heaters are expensive here so looks like I'll have to be satisfied with my 2 boys for now :no: :sly:
 
What a cutie!!!! DEFINITELY young :wub:
He looks like a veil to me, but a very very cute one ^_^
I just wanna pinch his wittle cheeks!
 
congrats you have the betta bug. its incureable and there is no rehab(my mom looked for rehab once o_O) :rofl:
 
ya, i finally saw the pic on my computer! sweet betta! i hope my lfs will have a metalic silver/ blue betta when i might go tomorrow.
 
It is an addictive thing, sounds like you're relapsing. there should be warning labels on betta cups.

"Warning, purchasing this animal can and will cause obsession, and has a tendancy to make all of your spare change dissapear. They also will make you dilusional, and you will find yourself talking to the betta, as if it will answer."

hmm, maybe then this forum wouldn't be ridden with Bettas Anonymous.

Nice fish though. Looks like a young VT.
 
50,000 tears is right you are now infected with the betta virus it starts out as one and you think "oh hes pretty i think ill just stay with him for now i dont have any money anyway" a week later youll have 5 on you desk :p
