They're really bettas, but they're a new type they tinkered up. There isn't too much info on them yet, far as I know(I only just discovered them a couple months ago myself). I did find a couple photos on google, but that's about it. LOL I have seen them though, they're pretty. I saw a pure white one, but I didn't get it because I know little about that type, being newer and all.
I think they are pretty! The boy in my avatar to the left was a big ear. I had him exactly one year then he died. He was probably 1 year and 4 months old. I don't know if he died young because of his new type or because of my newbie care.
He was a fast swimmer and no different than any other betta in personality.
not the best picture, but my Hiccup is a big ear. :B
here's a better picture of one, though:
i didn't think much of them at first. didn't like them at all, but i adore Hiccup, even if his pectoral fins aren't the biggest and are all shredded up. :3
:B might have to order females from breeders. xD or, you could talk to the person who orders the fish at the pet store and ask them if they can get in some big ear females.
You can Google Dumbo betta and you might find more info on EEs and big eared bettas. I have 3 EEs, though Joven leans more towards just big eared then true EE. I would like to breed Hector at some point though if I could find a female as purple as he is.
EE's are pretty but when I went to get a new beta yesterday my boyfriend didn't like the EE's, claiming they looked "unnatural". I agree with this but they're just so cute! I left with a gorgeous red/salamander HMPK which I think has some EE genes because his pectorals are half red/half clear.
I went to PetCo today and only saw one EE there. He didn't look so good. I wish I could have saved him. He was a pretty dark blue with light blue fins.
Registereduser, not only is that one gorgeous EE, but an amazing photography job!! When are you coming over to take pictures like this of my horde?! lol
I am getting a female EE for my sorority I am sooooo excited, she may be my first new girl I have qt tanks set up and everything, about 4 so far. -dances around-
Where are you getting your EE from? The only place that sells EE's is a PetCo that is an hour and a half away from my town and they only sell males. Louisiana isn't big on bettas.
at my LPS they are called dumbo ears! i saw a white one i just love, Thinking about getting a divider for my 10g.
Is it a bad idea to keep two males in a diveded 10g, wouldnt wanna them in an agro state 24/7
