I've been trying to get wild type bettas for a while now, but those killies are just striking! I wouldn't be able to decide, so I'd wind up with both, assuming I had the space to house them both. ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

trystianity Mega Fish Posts: 1028 Kudos: 926 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Mar-2004	My LFS got some new fish that are good for small tanks, but as usual I am having a hard time making up my mind deciding what to put in the smaller tanks that I already have. I have wanted to try both wild type bettas and killifishes for a while, and the lfs has both in now (yes I know, this is the betta forum but I thought the poll would be best here). I already have 3 Betta splendens but I have also been thinking about getting a few more. based on the space that I have to house these new babies, these are my options and pictures of the Betta smaragdina and Aphyosemion gardneri: Betta smaragdina: http://www.ms-aquaristik-frechen.de/Aqua_MS/Betta_smaragdina_MS.html Aphyosemion gardneri: http://www.wiljo.nu/images/fisksidae/aphyosemion_%20gardneri.htm[/font][/font] Last edited by Miss Moppet at 04-Mar-2005 19:26

Joe Potato Fish Addict Kind of a Big Deal Posts: 869 Votes: 309 Registered: 09-Jan-2001	Well, killis are just inherently very cool, so I think they should be in. As for bettas, I'm not a B. splendens fan, so I think you should get the trio of B. smaragdina. Some of the less frequently kept betta species are some of the coolest.

smantzer Big Fish Posts: 378 Kudos: 347 Votes: 10 Registered: 02-Nov-2004	Skip the splendens-- they're just not that impressive since it seems liek everyone's owned one. Smaragdina, definitely, and if killies are your thing, gardneri too.

trystianity Mega Fish Posts: 1028 Kudos: 926 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Mar-2004	You are all as undecided as I am! I am leaning toward the trio and pair as well, and plan to breed both as the offspring will be fairly easy to sell.
