A fishtography session with Bernard.

I had some time to spare earlier waiting for a BT engineer to come, so I decided to get some snaps of Bernie.

He used to be camera shy, but he's a posing little tart now.

He spots the camera...



He poses.



Okay so maybe I was bribing him to pose with freeze-dried shrimp.







Blowing his...well I'd call it a 'bubble nest', but it's more just 'random bubbles'.



One last pose before I left him alone. Looking slightly plump after all the shrimp.

Great shots!
Looks like he is ready for some more yummy food!

[Campbell]

He's stunning. I'm jealous. haha

[LaniBaby]

my boyfriend said "Now that's a fish I can get behind." Apparently, he'd also have a betta if they all looked like that. :P

You mean he won't get behind Bluey or Crumb? lol Just teasing.

[Spode]

Aw, but Bluey is awesome, I love his goggles. His colour also has a gorgeous texture to it too, like velvet. Looks like he'd be really soft.

I ordered Bernard from Thailand (aquabid), was terrified he would arrive dead, refused to name him until he was in his tank and well. Cost me a fair few pennies in delivery (£43ish for Bernard + delivery). So I pretty much had pick of whatever colour etc I wanted, but this guy just caught my eye for some reason...

He is a very beautiful betta!
