new walmart find :D

[ShadowCourtGirl]

:/ yea.. but my brother gave me his betta.. o.o to make me happy i guess? just another reason that he is my fav brother.. but idk if its a male or female or what kind of betta he/she is.. i'll post some pics of he/she..

[ShadowCourtGirl]

here is he/she..

[Ramble]

Aww...sorry to hear it. He was a handsome fellow. Your new guy is quite a character, though!

[Knitterly]

My walmart had a double-tailed female last week. I wanted her, but DH said she was too dark for our tank. Sigh.

In the long run, that's probably fine since we've had very mixed luck with Walmart fish. Our fist, a male, was fine. Our second and third, females, split evenly with one fine and one dead within 2 days. Our fourth is currently battling ich. We've only had her 5 days. Sigh.

So sorry for your losS!

And congrats on the new blue one! I'd guess female, but I can' see the ovipositor. She's pretty, though!!!

[ShadowCourtGirl]

i can see the ovipositor quite clearly but i just cant get a clear picture of it.. as soon as my males saw her, they went nuts.. several of them are already making bubble nests... i have decided to name her/him Shinra..

[ShadowCourtGirl]

and what kind of plakat would she be, if i might ask?

[Tikibirds]

ooh, she is pretty. I think she is a dragonscale?
Most of my fish were from walmart. I think the local petco is worse

[mursey]

Wow, I don't think I'll ever get a betta from Walmart after these stories.

My Petco near me actually often has a lot of variety of bettas .. they have veiltails, doubletails, crowntails, deltas, halfmoons, halfmoon doubletails, plakats, "Kings" (is that the same as Giant?), females, males, and babies. All the time. And I have seen some crappy looking ones but also a lot of really interesting looking colors and some that look pretty lively. I have 3 from there and they are all doing very well.

BTW ShadowCourtGirl, sorry about your dead fishy and Congratulations on your consolation fishy - it is very very pretty. :)
