Well, I found an awesome home for all 5 of Synirr's babies at the auction/meeting ~ one lady adored them and took them all! I know they have a great home, but it was sooo hard to let them go!!! I sold 2 of my free blue Marble girls in the auction, they were pretty hot ;)... however, I had to keep the melano DT and the original marble girl and Pinky, because I lurve them too much :wub:! That, and they'll look awesome in a little 12g community!

Of course, I could not go home empty-handed after rehoming 7 babies! I wasn't too interested in any of the Bettas in the auction, until I saw these two *adorable* blue sisters in a cup - together. They were totally aloof of each other and in great condition. Their owner said they had been kept together since they were babies, and they'd become depressed if seperated. OF COURSE I bought them! And they only cost $3, since they're not in their spawning prime and will just be pets for my community ;)

Meet Bermuda & Jamaica (er, I think that'll be their names)... :* before you guys start bashing me, I would *never* do this unless I knew they'd get along. I had them seperated the first night, and they had permenant stress lines and they were pale and lifeless. Now, they're SUPER happy hanging out in Maui's 4-5g... I made sure one side was decked out with Java Ferns and moss, really thick so they can get away from one another if need be. I've seen absolutely no aggression, though. They often sit right next to each other.

"I tend to have that affect on the ladies... who couldn't love this body? WHO?!"

Oh, and I also got an adorable spotted Cory for free... he'll be hanging out in the fry tank soon doing clean-up duties! :lol: I luff him, I named him Spot, because I'm original like that. I know they should be in shoals of 4+, the lady I bought him from says he has always been with Bettas and thinks he's a Betta, but I'm working on getting him some buddies ;)

You did wonderful deeds and got wonderful rewards. Those ladies are an awesome blue with very pretty faces.
 
Ugh...I'm so jealous! You always get the good ones....hmph.... :blink: But thats ok I guess...because you know.. :shifty:

Those 2 girls are SO pretty! And I'm so glad you found a good home for the little Synirr babies! Its ok, we will all miss them...*whimpers*

Again...GREAT FIND! :thumbs:
 
:hey: thanks everybody! their colors really got me, I'm such a sucker for blues..

Jollysue, you should've come to the meeting!! It was in Davis, right up the road from ya! you MUST come to the meeting next month, it's in Vallejo. It should be fun ~ everyone is very friendly and they're all TOTAL betta-holics! :thumbs:

Paula ~ awww, thanks hon. you're so nice ^_^ guess what, Paula?... I just set up my spawn tank! :hyper: mwahaha. Now, hopefully Maui will turn out to be a good Daddy. I'm not counting on it, though!! I'll post pics once I get them in there.
 
Awww, that's so adorable!!! :wub:
I wish my ladies got along so well... there are two ladies in one of the growouts that I've been calling "the twins" because they look exactly alike, but they hate one-another with a passion :lol:. They flare every time they see one-another
 
:wub: thanks Synirr. I love watching them interact, having females together is a completely different experience ~ and they're SO pretty swimming together! I'm definitely addicted to female communities now. A bunch of my friends have already asked for some females from my spawn so they can have a similar community... Most of them I wouldn't trust with caring for any sort of living thing, though, so that won't work :shifty:

I ended up keeping the cambo girl from your spawn.. she is sooo cute! I think she'll do VERY well in a female community, she's not too reactive with other girls next to her but I'm sure she can stick up for herself if need be. She's so cute and little :*!! Lisa, who adopted ALL 5 of the others, said that one of the females was just put into a really nice decked-out 5 gallon and she changed colors from opaque-ish to bright red!! LOL, I guess she wanted a bigger flashier home. They're all SUPER happy though, Lisa is so in love with them that she's actually considering spawning. Everyone went crazy over the cute little Plaks from Texas at the meeting :hey:
 
Hehe, so good to hear everyone liked them, splashluff. I can't wait until some of them get spawned... I want to see what the outcome will be! I'm only planning to breed two marble siblings from this spawn together, not the "regular" colours, so it'll be interesting to see what comes out of it. I will, however, be using one of the regular ones to start my CT plakat line :hey:
 
PM me the link or whatever for the Vallejo show, splashluff.

Congrats, Synirr on your babies' reception. :D
