At the moment: A lone male I have had as many as five

Inky

I swore I wasn't going to get more, but yesterday I was in the LFS and spotted 2 pretty VT boys that did the "take me home dance". :%)

Been awhile since I posted...

I have 4 female plackats (the male died within a week of getting him) & 1 male splenda.

well, my new betta is in a 10 gallon all alone, 11 are floating in my 55, 1 is in my cat vase, 1 is in a 2.5 gallon hex, the 3 fry are in a 5 gallon, 6 are seperated in a 10 gallon one is in a 20 long.....i think thats it

Two females, one in each of my community tanks. Excellent for guppy fry control.
Fishyhelper, where do you keep all of those bettas? If I set up another tank, I think I'd have to start taking out -important- furniture, like my bed.
Kitten, if there isn't already a betta picture thread, I think one should be started. I'm sure everyone would love it.

I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

4 males and 3 females (not counting the 40+ betta fry!!!)

4 VT
2 CT
1 DT

well today i went to my fish stocker, and picked up some fish, and what also followed me home, was 3 male bettas, clear SD, copper butterfly SD (my new favorite), and a young DT red butterfly male. and two females.

One for the moment, but I have a hard time resisting them, Buddy will be getting a new tank soon and I will be looking for tank mates for him. I may decide to get a tank divider so I can have two bettas.

I'm uh... safely in the teens until you count the betta girls.

I HAVE built the betta collection up a bit... the one gallons used to be in storage, and then, I uh... yeah... Okay, I admit... I've got nearly every tank available to me full. The only ones I haven't dragged out are the new glass betta tanks.

I'm trying to figure out how to rearrange things ... The two new girls have to come out of the two gallon and join the other girl in the 12... that opens up the two gallon for the new betta boy (who still needs a name). But I want a tank for Gimpy the guppy baby, cause I don't know how he'll do on his own in a big tank... Are guppies jumpers? I could crack open one of the one gallons for him... Hmm...

In any case, I'm actually at about the number I'm usually at, except leaning more heavily towards the males than females. My girls used to outweigh the males by 2-1 or better.

Ugh, I just need to move out so I can set up things the way I want to! No more of these stupid little tanks... ten gallons! A betta to a tank, and give him buddies to play with!

In any case, maybe we should start up a "betta picture" thread?

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

Man, now I've got to count! Okay... new and improved count... at this time there are, uh... twelve betta boys and seven betta girls. Makes a current total of 19.

The boys are Patriot, Star Spangled, Feather, Balance, Majesty, Glory, Purity, Honor, Jezebeau, Freedom, Firecracker, and the newest-unnamed-as-of-yet betta boy.

I'll get back to you on the females (and come back with pictures like heidi ) since a number of them haven't been named yet. I lost quite a few to randomness and a few to old age, so I have to figure out who is left and give names to the new girls.

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

oops. forgot to vote

too many to count. right heidi, needs betta self control.

Voted for 6-15

I currently have none .

Nemo

I currently have three:
Fredricka (Fred, for short) is the oldest - two years.
Trinity, the male comb tail
and Hope, the little yellow female.
I recenly lost Kitty Rose, to a tumor.

I can't believe everyone has so many. I have 1 - Otis. He's lovely, eats out of my fingers and is beautiful to watch. I would love another one in my 24g but there are nippy tank mates in there.

5 boys and seven girls... all live happily in my 180gal tank
As long as I keep fish,I will keep bettas

He will soon be in his own 11G tank with 10 Cardinals.

No more

I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

Uh... hang on, some finger counting has to go on...

Eight betta boys...

And, uh... and even dozen girls...

20.

Yikes.

My dad doesn't know about this. He will NOT know about this. My mom doesn't know about all the new girls. No one at home knows about the newest boy.

16-30 not uncluding grown fry, young fry, and eggs

Its on the lower end of the scale now, i'm trying to cut back.

Last year I had quite a few losses and didn't get back into bettas until this spring. Now I have Jelly Bean (M), Goldie (very old M), and Rosie (young F).

~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Let's see... 21 males and at least that many females.... What else can I say but --- LOVE THOSE BETTAS!!!!!!*lol

To thine own self be true...

I have 24 adults right now, not including juvies.

To many to count.... since I am over the 30

I have 34 right now. I have never bred mine, people just keep giving me their sick or unwanted fish. Each have their own 2 gallon tank (100% water changes) and I have them at work and home.

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

Actually had 3,
2 i got for my ten divided and they both only lasted 48 hours.
The third I kept in my 90g community for a year before him and my Dwarf Gourami got in a fight, lost them both.

Forgot to vote....

I have 5 bettas. All males. Sunrise, Midnight, Corey, Alex, and Leonardo.

3 so.. 100% of my fish are bettas

I have 2 females, Venus and Serina, Got them during wibledon, both are really pretty. I have had a male called ... Timmy . Unfortnately he died .

You know it, heidi...

Don't mind the water spots... was afraid we were going to lose power for a bit there, so I was a bit more worried about getting mr betta into his new home while there was still light than about how things looked.

He's a thin little guy... but he's obviously willing to eat!

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

+1



That brings the new total to 21.

Got a lovely (if rather sad looking) pale blue/white cambodian male today. Figured no one would take him because he was very unimpressive. It MIGHT have something to do with the nasty water he was in.

However, he seems to be perking up with his new one gallon home.

I have a male and a female, but of course i will probably have more in the future...
