I havn't taken very many pictures of Dumbo at all! I thought you might enjoy my stunning little VT Dumbo. His vase is 1.2 gallons, I am hoping to upgrade soon! But he's very healthy and happy, the big bubble nest proves it! I don't know why he only had 1 gill cover raised... oh well! Please enjoy.
I know sweeda, it was making me really worried! I'm gonn clean his tank again today, see if there's something wrong with the water. Thank you, I think he's so pretty!
Thanks Crys! His face is so cute and grumpy! And the vase is extremely easy to clean!
Me tooooo! Haha. Grumpy butt bettas. LOL! I'm so glad i have a girl betta, she's the only one who isn't always grouchy looking. She's stinking adorable isntead!
I saw a little girl the day I got Midnight and almost got her, but she looked ill (color faded, stress stripes, sitting on bottom of cup, potential fin rot) so I didn't get her, especially after Midnight looked at me and flared. My only problem at this point in time is space, because the only place I feel comfortable having my fish is my room, and I have no room. The only place I could think to have a fish is a cubby hole in my desk, and it's not big enough for my typical 2.5 gal.
Awww! I cleared a big place on my dresser for my 2.5 gallon. I love having my bettas in my room! But Dumbo lives in my mom's room. She works at home on the computer, so it's nice to have the company there! Awww, that poor lil girl betta! I want to get another girl, CT or HM. Sigh.
Yeah, having the company of bettas is always good But really, I mostly keep them in my room because I'd feel so disjointed to the ones that weren't. And my room gets EXTREMELY hot, so they're always warm enough.
I know right! My mom loves lil Dumbo. She doesn't like my obcession with bettas, but she likes the actual fish themselves that I have. And my mom's room is actually the warmest, which is good for Dumbo because he doesn't have a heater. Liberty has his light which gets nice and warm if he needs it, and Luna has a heater.
That temp is perfect! My house is 79 right now. So Dumbo and Bertie should be perfect too! Luna's tank is probably 78 steady, I don't know for sure though because that is at my dads house.
My boy Alle came from an awful cup in Wallyworld (gack) and nearly died from ammonia poisoning and burns. It ruined his right gill cover and hurt the gill, too. He cant and wont flare it out :c Just a thought- it might be from damage D:
(Alle's case is a bit extreme, but its a trauma thing sometimes!)
Hmmm... well, Dumbo rarely flares, he just did for the pics... his condition wasn't the best when I got him though. His tail was much smaller, and his cup was gross... but I have seen him flare both covers before! Huh. Well, I cleaned his tank 100% today, Bertie's too! And my minibow got a 100% tuesday. Ah, it's nice knowing all of the the tanks are clean! Thanks pew!
I know! His head is a rusty brown! And his blue is reeeeeally purple in the right light. Purple is my favoritest color! So of course I had to get him! Thanks, I'm glad you like him!
My fishies are lucky; they get to appreciate the hot weather. I, on the other hand, am cooking and it's only to get worse where I live from here on out. And the 78 was for their water; it's prolly 80-something in my room.
It's better now that the sun's gone down xD And I measured the cubby in my desk I could potentially put a tank in, and it has enough room for 2.6 gal, but that would be a tank that fits perfectly inside of it... so, DIY project?
Good idea! Or you could just get a slightly smaller 2 gallon. Those are fine too! And you can get a cylindrical one, so you have more room.
