This past April, I was attending my University's spring fair. One of the booths belonged to a man selling some really awesome orchids and bonsais. As I was inspecting his flowers, he started pulling out male bettas in small bowls with colorful gravel. Now, my dorm does not allow fish and $10 seemed like a lot for a vt male, a very small bowl, and a zip lock bag of food. I was about to move on when I noticed a very tiny girl in a very tiny bag with blue water. I think he had taken her out to put her in a bowl but had forgotten her in the frenzy of college students picking up the boy fish and choosing which ones they wanted. I picked her up and she was definately a CT and had horizontal stripes like I have never seen. I got her and a bag of freeze dried bloodworms for $5.

When I got her:

Nice looking girl! I am a real big fan of the betta females, they may not have the long fins but they can be just as colorful when put in the right environments. I hope you enjoy her she is a keeper!

look here

katieb please do not take this personally but I think it will help if you read the above thread.

What I could see of the Betta it very nice. I am having a few problems with my Adobe Photoshop at the moment otherwise I would have made your 1st photo a lot clearer

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Thanks Keith, I will definately reread it. I have much clearer photos of my other betta girl who was much lazier; this one is all over the place. And I guess it doesn't help that my tank has been battling green spot algae

Thanks for all the replies
