How many bettas do you have?

[BrookeLea]

Hey guys. People keep telling me that I have WAY too many fish, and I know that a lot of you have a bunch of bettas, as well. I don't think I have too many. So long as I can take care of them and love them properly, I don't think I'll ever have too many. I was just wondering how many you have. Post and let me know. Here's what I've got.

10 gallon divided:
blue/red crown - Scooter
red crown (my first betta) - Flare
red/purple crown - Wedgie

10 Gallon divided:
red/green veil - Booger
white veil - Casper
blue mustard HM plakat - Phen

2.5 gallon:
dark blue veil - Oliver

2.5 gallon:
red/white/green veil - Rudolph

2.5 gallon:
blue mustard (really orange looking) HM plakat - Thai

2.5 gallon:
beautiful wild type - Baht

1 gallon:
HM male that I haven't met yet because he came in while I'm out of town

1 gallon:
another HM male that I haven't met yet because he came in while I'm out of town

10 gallon sorority tank:
red cambodian veil - Star

copper gold crown (haven't met yet)
green crown (haven't met yet)

1 gallon:
black copper crown female (haven't met yet)

1 gallon:

SO...that's 18. Seems like a lot when I type them out. I can't wait to get home to meet my new guys and girls!

[Elise]

Split 2.5
Ula-copper plakat
Kai-odd colored VT (cream body w/ the scales outlined in black and whitish fins that trail to clear and show up blue under the camera flash)

Holding tank
Alpha- I think he's going to be a VT (fins are chomped up) he's turquoise

Triple Split 5 gal
Twinkie-my melano plakat girl (she's getting darker everyday!)
eXXon-my marble patriot CT girl who is getting more marble-er-y everyday

Minibow 1 gal
Jimmy-purple mustard gas VT

Split 2.5
Little Girl-marble patriot girl VT girl
Omega-turquoise (I don't know what tail type she is, looks like HM/VT mix--but it's long and pretty! )

So, 8 all total. And I think I'm going to take Pixie (my friend's rescue) off her hands (he only eats when I'm around, isn't that odd behavior? And since I can;t be at her house all the time...... he is SO mine!)

 

[MegTheFish]

Divided 18 gallon (its actually more close to 19 gallons, but I rounded it off)
Ruby (Red VT male, my oldest betta at about 3-4 years!)
Flare (orange spot VT male)
Pebbles (red/gren VT male, kinda my brothers fish)
Drake (purple/blue VT male)
Bruno (dark blue VT, he has only half an anal fin, don't know how that happened, he had it when I bought him)

and my female who had to be pulled from the 10 gallon is in a temporary 1 gallon kritter keeper. She is a grey/mud brown color, but when the light hits her fins at a certain angle her fins shine a metilic blue, its really cool! I bought her because she had been at the lfs for weeks, and nobody was buying. It also turns out that she is crowntail! Oh and of course, how could I forget, the female in my 10 gallon. She's a normal blue color, she's also my oldest female.

I am so glad I got the 2nd hand 18 gallon and divided it, the bettas are so happy! They would all mope around their 1 gallon-ish homes before, never really active at all. My mom always said "How can you like them, they're so boring". But now since they have almost 4 gallons of water to themselves, they are extremely active, and display their colors better. My mom even noticed a difference and commented on how active these fish really were, and she tells me over and over again that she thinks its so cool what I did with the tank and that the fish look so happy. LoL. My room looks a lot neater too, without all those small tanks laying around. Water changes are MUCH MUCH MUCH easier now, too. Before I would have to haul each tank to the kitchen to clean them, now I just siphon the one tank in my bedroom.

I'll be getting JUST ONE MORE betta soon, too My 3 gallon currently has 3 guppy fry that I raised that will soon (like in a few more weeks) be ready to go into the 5.5 gallon. I have to pick out the the perfect betta though, as this will be my last one MAYBE. LoL

Oh, and BTW, my CT male, Dragon, did finally pass away about a week ago. R.I.P poor guy

[FishEnthusiast]

I have 16 females and 11 males ATM. I just upgraded my girls to a 30G, so I am probably going to add a couple more.

 

[LifeBear]

Sandi,
Hilarious names. Yes, it is obvious you either have children or you are weird. Yellowy, I love it! That is why I don't let my daughters name my fish. Otherwise I would have SnowWhite, Cinderella, Belle, Jasmine, etc too.

Alexsdaddy,
I have a fish named Hagrid too! But he isn't a betta. He is an oscar. My daughter and I had a while Harry Potter theme going with our fish. We had Dumbledore (blue betta), Weasley (goldfish), Godrick and Rowena (silver mollies), Salazar and Helga (red swordies), Sirius (black molly), Hagrid (oscar), and The First Years (school of neon tetras, because they hang out in a group and tend to look confused).
