Pictures of my bettas Sixxie and Flash :)

I will try this again since Photobucket froze my computer.

Sorry I don't have too many photos of Sixxie, as he hates to be photographed, and since he mostly hangs out at the top of the tank in hopes that mom will sprinkle more pellets for him, it's hard to get some good photos of him. Flash on the other hand isn't shy at all, so that's why there's more of him. I just cleaned Flash's bowl and bought some new plants so later on today I'll take some new pics once the plants are in.

Anywho, my mom sent me these cute little rice bowls from Japan and since I doubt I'll ever use them I thought they'd make good betta tank decorations. HAHA. Don't hurt me mom! I have one more which I'll put in the new bettas bowl once I find another one that strikes my fancy.

Some of you may remember Malakai which I had for 3 years and then passed away from illness. He was sick for a very long time. We tried everything. Dr. Below the fish expert I work with couldn't even fix him, so it was his time to pass. That's how my son got his name...from my fish! I loved that little guy. After he passed I needed a new betta to fill the hole in my heart so I bought Sixxie. Sixxie is very shy. He looked like poop when I got him, and was very tiny and lethargic. But after switching him to the tank he is bright and alert and very happy for a fish. I've had him for about 7 months or so now. I just got Flash about a month ago.


Flash- named for his colors, as if it weren't obvious. He's a crowntail and quite a looker!








In his bowl. You can see the cute little rice bowl. I'll be adding his new plants later on today. I'll get an updated photo then. He'll be switching into one of the tanks that Sixxie is in soon, which will give him tons more room.

And here is Sixxie. Again, he hates his photo being taken!







I love these little bowls. He likes to hide in them, and behind them. And yes, I need a background for the tank. Still haven't gotten around to it.


I love my fish!

Wow Flash is one of the prettiest bettas I've seen! I love the teal.

I've had a few bettas in my life... but they don't seem to live very long. I had one jump out of his tank and down the drain.. No joke.

My SIL just got 2 this past week, one of which looks like Sixxie, a dark blue. The other is white... its really strange looking. I've never seen a white one like him. She has yet to name them tho.

I love bettas. They are so easy to keep and not too much maintenance. I love the white bettas, especially when they have pink eyes. They're so cool. My mom would get bettas all the time when I was younger, but my cat would always fish them out of the bowl, and I'd come home from school to little fish filets on the counter. I laugh about it now, because my mom just wasn't smart enough to learn how to put them out of the cats reach or into something that the cat couldn't get into. I sometimes think she would bring them home just for Blackie...

You've got some very nice looking bettas there. Don't you love how such small fish seem to have pretty big personalities? Sure, they don't have quite the personality like the larger cichlids, but they are still a lot of fun to have around.

Thanks for sharing!
