      I was NAUGHTY! I got the Betta Fettish! More PIctures

      I purchased these two today..my first bettas. The teal colored one is a crown fin betta and the red & white is a Delta Betta. They are so cute! Shocked the hubby...He is thinking..great..more fish. The teal colored one actually had a cream colored body in the pet store and teal/blue fins. Not sure what attracted me but when he got home in the light of his new tank he got a really pretty midori color.

      They are so beautiful. I used to have them in with my Mollies. Good luck with them. I actually had a male and female and had them spawn. It is the coolest thing to watch.

      I see you put air in the bowls. I think that's so much nicer for them than just plain bowls with no air. The water stays so much cleaner longer.

      I think the air and charcoal filter will help alot. I will still do water changes every 4 days ...The hubby is thrilled because I told him we need to keep the house at 70 degrees. I am the polar bear in the family.

      More great pics. If I thought I could keep some water hyacinth alive I just might try that in some of my bowls too. I don't have any water lettuce. but I have a bunch of water celery thanks to Lynn, wonder how it would do indoors?

      Lari I would ship you some water lettuce if you are interested.. I am thinking about getting a little grow light to share between the tanks.

      Sure Lori. Box some up and I'll send you back whatever postage it costs...unless its just a stamp..then that's silly to send a stamps worth of money for a stamp... Or I can send you back some seeds or plants in trade too if you like.

      The problem with bettas is that you always find more because of all the coloring...lol...you are going to have a house full, I think. I had 2 male bettas which one I would put in the 55 gal tank with the mollies and he was fine. The other was in a holding tank. Everytime I can home the other one was in the tank too. I would put him back. Kept getting out. Had a little hole in the bottom of the holding tank he would get out. They did not fight and they were fine which really perplexed me. So I let them be. Then someone said that if the tank is big enough they won't fight. I guess with the mollies in there just subdued them. Still don't why. I have a zillion of those vases if you need.

      Lori, you said you have a charcoal filter in there too...Could you show a picture of that..I'd like to look for something like that...I have the air, but with just air stones...some sort of actual filtration would be great too.

      I'm interested in seeing the carbon filter too that you have in there. They are lovely fish. I'd love to get another one. I wonder how they would do with angel fish? Anyone know? Jeannie
