The Bettas ~ Betta #15 - post 60

[Kfamr]

I added two new girls to the sorority! I also got 4 more danios.


She is tiny. I think she is VERY young.


She and the other blue girl seem to be going for alpha. I'll have to keep my eye on those two.


I added a couple more plants and a floating log:







And just one of the white girl because she is just too freaking pretty.

Those traps when I used them had air at the top it all depends on how you place them. The open topped ones allow the fish to jump out. Your white girl looks suspiciously like a plakat male. Does she have an oviposter?

I'm not tired of the pics yet.

Your new tank setup looks very nice! That is a lot of bettas! I don't live so close to the pet stores now that I go very often, so away from temptation more I guess

[BC_MoM]

So jealous! Your tank is gorgeous. Whitey there looks kinda male-ish to me too! haha

[Flatcoatluver]

Stunning!! Your females are very pretty, all of the females in our pets stores are not as colorful as yours.

I have been dying to do a female tank for a long time now, but I'm to scared to try.

For all you betta lovers, do your females have a different personality then males? (more social or shy with people, swim more?)

[Christmas_Hamster]

Between males and females it doesn't matter each betta has their own personality but females are little pigs and love to eat so they seem to like to say 'hi' more so they can beg for food, lol.

My female, Neptune, had really long fins for a female but she was definatly girl, even longer then your white girls finnage. Your white girl looks to slim to be male she looks really feminin I guess hehe. Blowing any nests for you? Thats another sign, hehe.

Oh and I love the tanks! Do you have a black background on it? It looks nice. And congrats on the girlies!

It's actually against my wall, which is a dark, dark purple.

I'm almost 100% sure Feather is female now - I finally got to see her flare and it's a girly flare. She almost never flares even when the other fish do - this time she flared at me! Silly girl.

Here's some photos I took today

Feather




Paige & danios (I'm resorting to naming them after people who did voices for Beauty and the Beast.)


Babette & Paige


Paige & a danio. Paige is soooooo tiny!

You really have me wondering now. Something seemed off about "her" to me. The ventrals are long compared to what I'm used to. I can't see a oviposter but then again he/she is so white it's hard to tell. I can't see oviposters on all of my females anyhow.

Another thing that gets me is the fact that he/she is SO docile. I've put him/her in a tank with one of my males and it didn't bother he/she. Even when the other mail was swimming around ferociously flaring.

So.. either I've got a silly looking female or a very, very docile male.

[3muttsandaboston]

lol I guess only time will tell. Yeah it was the long ventrals and fins that kind of made me think male. Also females usually have more rounded stomachs. On a forum I am a member of members have accidently had 2 male plakats in tanks for a few months before they realize it.
