Rustyness, your new betta is AMAZINGLY beautiful, especially with the lighter things around it to bring out his color! Flame and Margret (RIP) are also very beautiful =)
About taking pictures: if you have a digi cam (digital camera), then you will be able to get a MUCH clearer picture if you use the Macro mode. It shows a flower symbol when you turn it on. It is for taking pictures of things 3 feet away or closer, and it blew me away when I discovered it and how clear things are which otherwise would be VERY blurry.
Oh, and I wouldn't use a flash (or at least a low one)...both because I would think that it might hurt the betta's eyes, and because you'd probably get a bleached/overexposed picture.
That's just my 2 cents, though :)
Hey Kiki,
THanks for the great advice on the digi cam.
That works amazingly. I am not a camera person, and was quite frustrated by the way the pics were turning out.
Thanks!
I'll try to get some of my bettas' pics uploaded sometime soon - most of them have passed on (RIP), but one, "Pearl" as of yet, has just set up housekeeping a few weeks ago :)
Baron looks JUST LIKE my betta! I still have no name for it :-/ Pearl is what my sister named him, but I think I'd rather change it, so that he seems more...mine, I guess you could say.
Do any of you have favorite names for fishies? :)
After all of the fish that I had died, I didn't want any more. I was afraid that they would die, too - which, all animals die, and I'm still afraid of it (knock on wood!!!!!!!!), but anyways - my mom got me another fish, and we named him Genesis, because he was the new 'start' :) Genesis means 'beginning,' I think, and is the 1st book of the Bible.
Here's Genesis!!

I really don't name any of my fishes except bettas, but I do if I have some sort of "connection" with them.
I always use different names for my bettas, and they always start with a B (B.B, Barb, Baron).
Hugo is really pretty - even with his face double-sized, LOL!
The other betta is pretty, also - looks like Genesis, except I think yours looks like a crowntail...?
Everybody has pretty fish! :D We don't show off our children, we show off our fish :P
Im going to add the two males i got from Thailand...they just arrived today!! Im still so excited about it. I got the females too, but dont have pics of them.
This is the Mustard Blue Crowntail male
and this is the Royal Blue Butterfly Crowntail male
