Tallahassee, Fertile Myrtle, and Bowie

[1fish2fish]

100 points if anyone can tell me who each of these fish are named after

First up.. Tallahassee.. Blue OHM MG/Melano Geno









Fertile Myrtle (Myrtle for short). Sibling female.





And... Bowie!!! Multicolor BF HM. I just snapped a couple pics of him.. he wasn't in the flaring mood tonight.

They are so pretty....does this mean I lose 300 points for not knowing where the names come from?

[Betta Slave]

Gorgeous! All of them.

Haha.... I don't know about Tallahassee, but the first thing that comes to mind for Myrtle is Moaning Myrtle from Harry Potter XD

And for Bowie, David Bowie (did I get that right?)

Haha, I don't know...

[1fish2fish]

Haha.. got one. I <3 David Bowie. Fertile Myrtle is from a movie.. just not Harry Potter and Tallahassee is from a movie as well.

All three of these beauties (as well as Lilly Vanilly.. my pastel HM girl) will be going in the spawning tank this weekend hopefully. Maybe even as early as Thursday.

OMG FERTILE MYRTLE!! Hahahaha that's my mom's' nickname because she has 5 kids :D this makes me LAUGH. Her real name is Missy but ppl call her fertile myrtle oh man *wipes a tear from eye*

They're beautiful fishies!

[beat2020]

Beautiful pictures and bettas.

I don't know where they're names come from but I Lol'ed at the name Lilly Vanilly :P

[CodeRed]

.... I cheated XD Do they still count? I looked off of UB XD

I know what they are, but I don't want to ruin the fun xDDD

But they're B.E.A.UTIFUL. Gorgeous babies (: I'm jealous.

[1fish2fish]

Don't be jealous.. in a few months you can buy one (or a bunch) of their babies.

Ok.. I gotta go to bed so I'm gonna cave :P

Tallahasse is a character played by Woody Harrelson in "Zombieland"

Fertile Myrtle is from a quote from the movie "Juno" that I love.

Bowie is of course David Bowie who starred in my favorite childhood movie "Labyrinth"

Lilly Vanilly is just a silly name. I was originally just going to call her Lilly but everyone was calling her the "vanilla" fish so I added on the "vanilly"... its similar to "Milli Vanilli"

Many of you are probably too young to remember the "Labyrinth" or Milli Vanilli unless you love 80s movies and music the way I do.

Does Myrtle live in a toilet?

lmao, Harry potter joke :P

[metalbetta]

*SPOILER ALERT*

Tallahassee is OBVIOUSLY from Zombieland. WIN.

And I'd love one of their babies too lol
