Here is where I will be posting pictures of my Envy as he/she grows up
I've always wanted a baby betta, and it turns out that since they only had ONE dead baby, that this batch was actually decent. I got the most colorful one there
For now i call Envy a him.
Haven't updated in ages!
Anyways it has been 8 months with Baby c:
Oddball
Saphira
Daiquiri
Unfortunately, we lost Lucky on her one year anniversary of being with me.
Daiquiri also seems to be super stunted and has a arch in her back similar to Oddball's. So chances are that she'll be like him, minus the lack of vents.
However, there is still not an eggspot!
Having an arched back has nothing to do with being stunted, just bad breeding is all.
Oddball looks great though! Envy's such a big boy now!! :-D So exciting!
And Daiquiri is a boy, from what I can see, there are no ovaries. Egg spots are not reliable as we mostly know, Betta's are just out to confuse us as this journal supplies proof for! haha. They all look great though, hopefully Saphira grows his tail back and ventrals? Or are they just missing from birth perhaps?
Ah gotcha, so he most likely lost them when he was young. He's a special fish for sure!
Oh and females and males can share a divided tank, she'll just get a little eggy if she wants to breed and he will just make bubble nests day and nice haha. But they can all share a divided tank no problem ^_^
Unfortunately, I've heard more bad stories about females and males together, than I have good, so I feel it's in my best interest to keep them apart lol
I don't mean in the same tank, I mean divided like one male on one side and a female on the other side. I would never suggest them without a divider though! But it's all up to you of course
I don’t exactly know what to say right now. It’s really hard to find the words when you can’t exactly process what happened.
One of the things I was hoping that wouldn’t happen for at least another year or two, happened. He was found and bought in Petco on March 4th. Months passed and he became one of my favorite fish I ever owned. He reminded me of his namesake in every way and I throughly enjoyed watching him and seeing as he tormented his fish brothers. He was one of the few fish I thought who would have stayed with me until he passed of old age. Instead, he passed tonight from something internal or unknown.
Baby Buddha is really going to be missed by a lot of people, but really I’m going to miss his little grumpy face and his blue lipstick when I look at the tank now.
RIP little guy, and I hope you get to swim with the others.
Alcemistny, I am really sorry to hear about you're loss, he was beautiful. I can completely relate... its tough to lose a betta you grow really close too. He's in a better place now and swimming under the Rainbow Bridge, SIP.
Aww no, I'm sorry to hear! You know little Envy was the reason I got into PetCo babies too. At least he's swimming peacefully under the Rainbow Bridge now as Phantom said!
