I love bettas!

[Sorrell]

This topic has no questions or any problems, I just want to say how much I love my bettas! They amaze me everyday, their tough personalities, their beauty, everything...everytime I look at one they just seem more perfect to me.


I just had to share......you guys are the only ones who understand! )

I'm giving my mother both of the veiltails I nursed back to health, and even though they aren't very fancy bettas, I have grown so attached to them. Everytime I go into the room and walk over towards them, they are usually on the bottom, but every time, they always swim to the top and stare at me.. If there was a person who looked at this thread and didn't have a betta, they wouldn't understand. I guess that's what you call the sickness of bettas.

i kno whwat you mean sorell, they are just absolutely great i swear my bettas know how much i love them

 

[nibbles]

do you kiss them on the lips after theyve had tasty bloodworms?

 

[Sorrell]

Oh Nibbles. I would love too, however, Miss Sorrell is deathy allergic to bloodworms and that act would kill her


Then who would be around to post how much they love bettas

How do you know you are allergic to something like a bloodworm?

If I even touch the package I have reactions ranging from eyes swelling shut to going into anaphylatic shock. I've been in the hospital twice from feeding bettas, and I have to take medication when I do water changes or I will have reactions to residuals in the water. Not so fun

well, if i didn't love bettas i wouldn't spend so much of my time researching, sharing knowledge and getting to know breeders and enthuisiasts from such diverse places as thailand, philippines, singapore, vietnam, malaysia etc. i wouldn't be breeding my own fish. i wouldn't have tanks and jars all over the place, i wouldn't have cultures of this and that growing and i wouldn't have countless fish taking up space. i wouldn't care about traditional approaches to the keeping and care of these fish, i probably wouldn't know what the many many variations of the phrase "plakat" mean (such as plakat cheen, plakat mor, plakat par, plakat tung etc.). i wouldn't care about wildtype plakat either and wonder what i could do to preserve dwindling stocks of mahachai. i wouldn't know the difference between smaragdina and imbellis either. i wouldn't care about cross breeding and it's negative effects on fragile strains and why a "copper imbellis" really shouldn't be advertised as an imbellis. my computer wouldn't be full of 1000's of pics of bettas, i wouldn't be a member of this forum either, if i didn't love bettas.
