Guess what??!! We got 2 bettas!!! :D

Well, read the subject line, we got two bettas!! Yay!! I was hoping we could for a long time, they seem like such neat pets!:D We got a male and female (separated of course) and I think they're beautiful! Also, what is the plant you can buy that grows into their cage and they eat off the roots?? Just wondering!:) On with the pics! Sorry they're kind of blurry...:o Also, we named the female Coral, and my siblings insisted on naming the male Marlin...haha, really funny.:) I like calling him Fizz, lol!;)

The male...(I like this one!)

I know, I love the male too!! (especially his coloring!):D

They are both beautiful :). The male's color pattern is called a butterfly (body one color with the fins half that color and half another color). Bettas will nibble plant roots but cannot subsist wholly off of them as they are carnivores. I'm not sure if you saw it, but I put together a rough betta care post last week based off a lot of reading and research. It is Here if you'd like to look it over. The betta forum at fishforums.net is also a wonderful learning resource I've found.

Best wishes and congratulations on your beautiful bettas!

Wow, they are both gorgeous! Welcome to the betta bandwagon! :D

Congrats! Your butterfly is so handsome!

Do as I and others have done and join a betta, or other fish forum. They're helpful, and you'll learn a LOT from them! :)

I'm a member of Flippers & Fins, Betta Talk, and a couple of others, lol.

Thanks, I'll look up that thread K9Soul! And micki76, what are the URLs/links for those forums?? Isn't Paula and Kara doing a betta forum too??:)

They are both pretty. I really like the males gorgeous coloring. I also got a new betta. That makes three for me now and I am not getting anymore. I have run of of room to put them.;)

Oh, aren't bettas great Robyn??!!:D;) Gotta love 'em!;)

Congrats! Love the pictures, they are both stunning!

Katie, another really great site with tons of info on bettas is www.bettatalk.com. It's actually not a forum, so you wouldn't have to sift through lots of threads to find basic information. Enjoy your fishies, they're gorgeous!

Thanks K9Soul, I'll definitely check it out!;)

Sorry I just got to this well I have been reading it but not having time to reply :o Congrats your bettas are beautiful I look forward to seeing more pics of them :) I want a betta/fish but my dad says no :(

My sister had a betta that was the same color pattern as your male. His name was Flame, and he lived a very long life. The only difference in the coloring was that Flame had one red spot in the center of his white bottom fin.
