Meet Ares ~

Wassup people! Thought it'll be nice to share my Betta with you guys

Hes the second Betta I got, and I bought him back in March at a LPS. I normally dislike crowns, but this one caught my eye because he have shorter fins and doesn't branch out unevenly like the rest. I tried to find other similar crowns in the city, but til this day I have no luck. I guess thats what makes him so special to me lol.

Hes not very aggressive, but eats like a pig every time I feed him . At the moment Im trying to get him to breed, hopefully spawn sexy little short-finned crowntails.

Here's some pics I have of him over the past months. Enjoy

he's very good looking. i was very tempted to buy one similar to him about a month ago. great choice

i wouldn't count on his crowns staying like that for long. I bought a crowtail on the same premise (liked the shorter crowns).... he was just young and his crowns grew very very long after some time. it just happens as they age. i'll try to dig up some pics for you if i can.... certainly not trying to discourage you though, he is a stunner!

Ares is lovely!

His colours are just amazing!
Looks like a real little personality-packed fish, too, with that very intelligent sort of look.
Does look very 'baby', doesn't he?

Gorgeous little boy and I love his flare

As ReMz said he looks quite young to me and has probably a bit more growing to do

Appreciate the comments people

Sigh, if only they'll stay young forever! I hope he'll stay sexy even when his fins grow longer hehe.

Wow , the fins grew a lot judging from the picture of when you first got him and 2 months later. Looking at mines now, he looks like a baby

The last pic of yours is what I meant when I said I dislike crowns. It looks like a torn up dress to me =X. Oh well, time will tell~

yeah... unfortunately some of his crowns curled. love him all the same though

Some bettas hold the form of their fins a little bit better than others. keep us updated.
