One more lol. This girl is pretty big, and the other is very small, but they're getting along good so far, no nipping. Barbosa is HUGE lol. He's bigger then firethorn and aires.

btw: sorry for the bad pics, barbosa wouldn't sit still and by the time i was done trying to get a pic i didn't feel like doing it again for the females haha.


Also the small girl is getting her colors back, i think she's gonna be a red with some green mixed in.

Also i love how the big one had her fins outlined in black. lol

Petsmart. They're still in the small cups iwth blue water, but they're all pretty healthy, sadly they only have the common blues and reds, and only VT's and CT's. I rreally want to get my hands on a white CT sometime, or a green HM or SD, but this place takes the best care of there bettas so i but them there, altohugh eventually i'll scout out some of the other petstores for the bettas, never really looked.

well a 5 gallon tank like the one you have them in is better than a tiny cup. nice fish though.

Yeah i want some more bettas but i don't have any aquariums to put them in sadley :(...or else i would get some more...but my friend said she would give me some if i wanted some so i think that i might snag a couple 5g from her. lol. She has like 10 million tanks. lol.

Sorry...but i have no names for you. I might later though. if i can think of something.
