Regular Member Rebecca Hampshire Posted November 1, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Love his colouring! Beautiful, reminds me of petrol in a puddle. Or a peacock's feather!

Regular Member number20121 Posted November 2, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2010 This is an amazing looking fish! If I'd ever get a betta, it would be so hard for me to pick one. I love the color of this one, and I love the purple-ish blue ones, and the ones that are either one of these colors with a bit of red or pink in them and and and. Anyway, this fish is stunning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be very careful who you talk to about fish Some people don't think it's normal to have tanks everywhere-you know,those 'non-goldie' people-they might think you're Hey Shelly-you're the reason I have 12 bettas myself! After you told me you'd had 12-that became my limit-and I stopped thereThank God,you didn't say 24-I DON"T HAVE THE SPACE !!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shellbell4ever Posted November 3, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2010 Having a dozen Betta's was a lot of fun but also a lot of work with my back I have to keep it simple now what can I say i am very ocd So I now have everything in 3's not counting my Daughters naturally 3 betta boys 3 kitty cats 3 goldfish tanks (2 goldfish each ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so do that...my daughter recently moved back home and she's sitting on the couch and thinks i'm staring at her at night while i'm actually staring at my goldfish tanks (LOL) but i do like that it creeps her out a little 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member arabpaso Posted November 6, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 6, 2010 Wow, what a pretty betta! Very nice. They are sooo addicting aren't they?? I had 16 bettas all at one time for awhile and yes it was a lot of work to keep all their bowls clean plus maintaining several tanks of other fish as well. Now I only keep bettas in tanks so they have more space and I only have 4--3 girls and one boy. But, I am always seeing other bettas I want! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member devilduck Posted November 6, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 6, 2010 Your guy is almost exactly the same as my Kitchen Betta! Yours is just a little spikier in the finnage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shellbell4ever Posted November 17, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 17, 2010 So I kept calling my new Guy Turk for some reason so that is now his name Thanks for all of the suggestions though And my Poupon has taken up residence in my daughters room as her little yellow fellow didn't make it so I am now on the lookout for a new #3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BenJoly Posted November 17, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted November 17, 2010 Very nice looking, but you may not all agree with me, but his colour makes me think of healthy hair algae from a pond, so how about Al for a name??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
