      I’ve been looking at fish for a long time, and I finally decided I had room for one. So I got a Beta.

      This is Ghost.

      He’s mostly white, but has a tint of red and some blue on the inner edges of his fins, near his body. In this picture he was sort of wigged out because he got put in his new home, and then I took a picture of him with the flash, and he got stressed. So he’s a little more red than he usually is. He spent much of that day flaring at me, but now he’s mellowed out and enjoying his new home.

          What a pretty Beta!!! We love them!!! We’re on our 4th one. We only manage to keep them for about 2 years. Jen has one that’s a lot older, I think. 🙂

            He is a really pretty fish – how do you tell male from female in a fish?

            #723930

            very handsome! I love the light color ones, I have a betta too, his name is Mr. Fish, and he flares at me all the time…he’s a pretty blue and purple crowntail. Oh, and female bettas are slightly smaller and have stubby little tails and shorter fins.

            I hope you don’t mind if I post a photo of Finnley 😳 Not the best shot, I gotta try and get a current one, he’s changed a lot since I got him in his little betta cup!

              I love beta’s but after my last one died… I was finished having them for a while.

              Handsome fish by the way! 😉

                No problem, Eleu. He’s a beauty. I would love to see pics of everyone’s betas. Feel free to post beta pics in this thread. 😀

                  He’s adorable! I still miss my betta Shimmers…I only managed to keep him alive for about six months, so I haven’t wanted to try again since I haven’t yet figured out what I did wrong…my goldfish are all 3+ years old and doing great. Although, I knew others who got their betta from the same source and nobody else’s lived through the week…so I guess that’s some consolation. ^_^;;

                  Ah well…perhaps someday I’ll pick up a new tank and rescue a betta again. (my old betta tank got turned into a snake feeding tank, hehe).

                    That is a very pretty beta.
                    My mom gets those. She had a white one too one time, but he ended up changing color a little bit over time.

                      My beta, Dan, died recently.:cry: He only lived two years.

                      ooh nice crown tail. I think if I get another he(the males are the handsome colorful ones for those who don’t know) will be a crown tail.

                      I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~

                        What’s the difference between a crown tail and others? How can you tell mine is a crown tail?

                          I love betas! I have two right now, they’re both in my classroom. Lapis and Dagwood. 😀
