bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004	i went to my lfs in search or red rosy minnows and walked by a tank and saw lovely female bettas. so i picked up the whole tank full(which was only 8) they are special to me, as they all have long fins. i had long fin females in the past, but it was still good to find some more around. 2 are steel, and the 6 are cambodians. pics soon

I walked in a local pet & LFS to fill in time while wife went shopping and came out with a powder blue and red M Betta all his fins are not showing the usual LFS tattered look. What is your total count of M&F Bettas also how many fry do you have? Do you show them and have you had any luck at shows? Well done BC *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW
