Hi,
I'm fairly new to the world of bettas, ive been toying with the idea of getting some myself since my boyfriend picked up a red VT who we fell in love with. So a couple days ago i bit the bullet and gave in to 3 gorgeous girls from my lfs. Im just getting some pics now but i kinda need help with some names and tail types if anyone can help???

i have a blue marble, a white-bodied red finned and a white-bodied yellow finned

pics will be up in 10mins

cheers

Ok so here's my girlies

i was a bit woriied as i had read that they would have to establish a pecking order and i was expecting a bit of aggression but they seem really calm, sleeping together and everything! and they have totally different personalities,

Red is so feisty and has proper attitude, she was trying to attack the camera everytime i put it near the tank and sticks her little (non-exsistant) nose in everyone else's bussiness!!



Yellow absolutely HATES the camera...will not let me take a nice piccie of her, swam to the other side of the tank whenever the camera came close! She seems a bit baby-like, she like to be touching the other girls if she can or be as close as possible!!



Blue is just a dopey hippy fish, so laid back and happy to come say hi when i go near the tank!

(obviously these are just temporary names til i can figure some out!!)







So what do you guys think for names, and also any suggestions for tail types?

Thanks guys!! i was originally looking to get a male to put in this tank but then when i got to the shop they had a tank full of girls and i just fell in love!!........looks like ill just HAVE to get another tank now to get that male i wanted

lovely fish. yellow cambodian is fairly new and still an unusual find. i picked up a yellow cambo female yesterday, but her colour is not as intense as yours.

keep an eye on red,, "she" looks suspiciously male to me. she looks like she could be a plakat (shortfinned) male.

the marble is simply gawjus!!! i love marbles. i used to have a marble VT just like yours and she was awsome!!

Very nice coloration. IMO- all are VT females.

 

[sparky sixx]

Yeah i kinda assumed they were all VT as they are just pet-shop babies but i don't really know how to tell so thought i'd ask!!

ANYWAYS........they have names!!

After 4 days of being just colours all three names came to me within like a minute last night, so we have:

Lemonjelly... (or lemonbelly, lemonhead, lemonbaby....i can see me using many lemon names for her!!)


Sunday (because she is just so damn laid back)


Sparky (i know its my username but still just suits her to the ground!!)



ahh love them sooo much!
