Thanks for looking at my pretties! :) Hope you're all having a great week!

[petslover]

I really like how you got them line up on your countertop. That looks great...

and You have some really pretty bettas...

Rush has a variety of colors on him.. very pretty..

[Zippy]

Your bettas are really pretty.I like how you have there tanks.

[Chilli]

They're lovely! :D Its really great that they're in a more active room in the house, I'm sure they enjoy it. Also, Compaired to gravel, I do love those larger pebble-like rocks for betta tanks, they're such nice accents!
And Freckles is so cute (I couldn't help but notice her in the last picture^^!).
I hope you get to feeling better soon. :)

[lute]

pretty bettas! i hope you feel better! i use those glass pebbles too. they are sooo much easier to keep clean and i think they are pretty too.

[finn's mom]

I'm glad you guys like the way their tanks are! I originally wanted them on these shelves we have in the dining room (you can kinda see the "feet" of the shelf in the last picture)...but, I worried that the shelves wouldn't hold the weight. SO, to the counter they went! But, I like it. And, it is very active through there, and, they do seem to be aware of things.

Thanks for the comments!

Freckles did sneak her way into pet general, didn't she? ;)

[My Peanuts]

They are beautiful! I love how they are all lined up. Very nice.

[finn's mom]

:D Thank you! :D

[Sevaede]

Wow, they are all gorgeous! :D

What do you call Murphys fin style? That's one of my favourite fin styles. :D

[CagneyDog]

They;re all gorgeous. I love Connor, what unique colors. Ooh, and I even got a glimpse of Freckles. She's as cute as ever!

Hope you're feeling better Kari.

[chocolatepuppy]

Your bettas are gorgeous Kari! I like those rocks! :)

[finn's mom]

He's a crowntail. :)


Thanks, everyone! I am feeling a little bit better, thank goodness. I have to work at three, but, luckily only for a few hours and then I'm off tomorrow. So, I'll have more time to rest if today's shift takes a toll on me. I'm hoping it doesn't though!

[Zippy]

I think Ruby could be a crowntail his fins look like that but i can't really tell because he will not flare.

[BCollie_Kelly]

Very Nice! I love Wyatt, such a cutie!

[Roxyluvsme13]

You have such gorgeous bettas! I love Connor, and I love Murphy, too. Crowntails = my Obsession. Now you only need a DT, SD, HM, etc.. to have a whole tail type set.. ;).

[finn's mom]

Oops :P.
HM - Halfmoon
DT- Double Tail
SD (!?!?!)
VT - Veiltail
CT - Crowntail
I think there's more, but my brain's dead :o

SD stands for Super Delta^^.... plus I do believe there are also just Deltas?
And you forgot PKs! O:
PK stands for Plakats (my favorite type)

don't feel bad. i have 5 bettas and don't have any idea what those abbreviations are either.lol

[Roxyluvsme13]

I'm pretty sure you have VTs (Veiltails..) ;)

[Zippy]

I'm pretty sure you have VTs (Veiltails..) ;)

Nemo and Tugboat are Veiltails.But i am thinking maybe Ruby is a crowntail

[Roxyluvsme13]

He doesn't really look like one to me.. :/

[bckrazy]

Your boys are so hunky ;) I love how their marbles coordinate with their coloring. They all look very healthy, you must be doing something right, Kari!

[finn's mom]

Oh, I don't feel bad. i guess I don't really care. ;)

[finn's mom]

I love how their marbles coordinate with their coloring.

:o Actually, I want to put the green ones in with Rush, as he has a turquoise tint to his body, or red ones to go with his tail. I think the blue ones will end up with Murphy, and, I want to get different ones for Connor, as the peach ones go well with Wyatt, and, I'd like to have four different colors. That's just what I had at the time. ;)

[K9soul]

I missed this when you posted it (I'm so low on work today, sitting around waiting for reports to come in :o). I saw you mention new bettas in another thread though so I found it! They are beautiful. I love the flared out crown tail!

You're sweet. ;) Yeah, I saw your post in that thread, too, you have a great way with words. That's Murphy, he's got a really full tail, it's so pretty!

[Logan]

I missed it too, but I must admit with my preoccupation with the puppy, losing Zipper and Mimi, recently, plus the cockatiel eggs, and life, I have not been opening many of the Betta threads. I realized that I have never taken a picture of Otto for you guys to see, either!

Kari, your Bettas are beautiful, and the water is so clear! How often do you have to change it? For some reason, I thought the bettas had to have some kind of lid on their tanks........see, I ought to be reading these threads more carefully. :o They don't jump out? And I love the glass marbles, rather than the nasty gravel that we have. Helen and I are going to have to equip all over again, I think!

Maybe Otto can get a prettier set up if they do fine in the open bowls. He is on the table in our entryway and gets lots of attention. I just love him, even though he is Helen's fish. :)

Aw, Logan, it's totally understandable! You have so much going on! And, you definitely should share a picture of Otto with us!

I started out doing a partial water change weekly and a full water change every two. That was my plan, anyway. But, now I decided to go with a full water change every week. I just buy the bottled water in jugs and use that. And, see, I always thought they jumped out, too, and, I think some do. But, I started out with covers on the tanks, but, my guys don't seem to have that urge at all! So, I leave them uncovered. And, the glass marbles are really nice, and, I think they are less dirty than the gravel. And, prettier, I think.

Our guys get tons of attention! I sit on the counter and David stands on the other side and we talk to eachother through the tanks and to the fish too. ;) They are in a really busy part of the house, and, they get really active when the dogs are barking!

I think Connor is my favorite, he's very alert and really sweet! He takes food out of my fingers, it's cute!

[Anita Cholaine]

You have four gorgeous guys! I specially like Wyatt, his coloring is beautiful :)

[Flatcoatluver]

Wow your bettas are gorgeus!! I love Conner is so stunning. I love his color!!
