I know...it was such a shame to lose them. I lost them within two weeks of buying them. I really think it was a bad batch from the LFS...Ol blue hit me hard when he died as I had him for a very long time....I will have a new pic soon I won that female betta!!!

Thank you for the kind comments about my bettas. I really need help with Ice. He was soo pretty, but ever since the episode of him jumping that barrier, he has become a fin nipper and is eating his tail. I have tried rearranging his tank, moving him to a different tank and so on. He keeps eating himself. So far no fin rot, but his poor tail...

 

[Man of fish]

I just saw that. Congratz. Hope all goes well with your breeding project.

 

[Dieses Madchen]

Fingers, toes, legs, arms, and anything else is crossed on that one!

 

[Man of fish]

That's sad to hear. Ice is a lovely betta. Never heard of a fish eating itself...

I LOVE ICE AND FLARE!!!!

ESPECIALLY ICE!!!!

I got this betta for my girlfriend for christmas, his name is Charles, and I'm keeping a very close eye on him incase she cant handle fish keeping. I wouldnt mind keeping him in my house instead =P

Lol. I REALLY want the bettas on the previous page and my dad is actually gonna let me, but I have no where to house them until my chi comes even though I could prolly cycle in a week. Then I'd still have nowhere for the other. I should buy another tank! 2.5 gallons are only $20 this week at my local petco! Lol maybe. What would I do with them during cycle mode though?

 

[Fishy friend2]

He is abospulutely georgeous! Where did you get him,

IMO I wouldn't waste any time with cycling a 2.5 gallon, it is too hard to keep the cycle. In smaller tank like 2.5's the cycle will crash easily once again it is just my opinion and other people probably have different opinions on this

Who, Charles?

He is from petco!
I sorted through literally 100 bettas to find such a looker!

Fishy Friend2, i really really really like the first picture you posted, the one that appears to be dull coloured, and i dont know why!

 

[Man of fish]

I wouldn't cycle the 2.5. I've got lots of gift cards going through my pile. I had $100 for amazon. Blew through that today. I've got $25 for petsmart, $75 for petco, $20 more for amazon. I should get something.

 

[Fishy friend2]

Wow I can't believe that you looked through that many to find the right one. And thank you for the compliment

 

[Man of fish]

I've looked through who knows how many cups of bettas and still haven't found that perfect one. I found a solution for the bettas!!!! Petco is having a dollar per gallon sale. I buy a ten gallon, dint fill all the way so I won't need a lid and add a divider in the muddle voila a good temporary shelter for about a week. They'd come a day before my heater for the chi so I can use the heater on there temporarily so may try and bud on the bettas. If I buy a filter may keep other one in the 10 long term. Maybe a cheap internal see how it goes. Is there a need for a light or is it just a want for aquarists?

 

[Fishy friend2]

Theit is no need for a light IME..... Unless you have live plants

 

[Man of fish]

In there I don't think I'd gave live plants. Maybe just 2 of those energy saving reading lights or something. Or a clip on LED for like 10 bucks. I'll be inching along for this ten gallon. Lol first it'll be the tank. Then I'll get a cheapy heater. Then cheapy filter. (found a heater and filter both $10 for 10 gallons. I have the filter and got the heater for chi) then I'll be like hmm I'm missing somethin oh right a light fixture. May need a screen but I'll avoid if possible.
