My betta hobby is leading to new things...:D

[Jessabell]

Well ever since I got my betta, I've been getting more and it just seems like I have to many now xD

Anyway, I'm going to get a big tank with Koi fish :D

My betta have inspired my fish hobby. lol.


Did any of your betta fish inspire you to become aquarists? (sp)

[kathstew]

Yep! I have gouramis (honey and dwarfs), guppies platys and I will be getting an axolotl soon!

Kois need HUGE tanks, especially if you want more than one! ;)
Glad you are enjoying the fish hobby!

[Jessabell]

Lol cool fish! Lol yeah I had a 32 gal. I got last year when I stared my hobby :D

[kathstew]

Koi's need about 75 gallons EACH. :/

[Jessabell]

D: Oh well then lol. Nvm.

[Pitluvs]

Ya common thing pet stores dont tell you is goldfish and koi need ponds, not tanks lol

My first Betta Joey inspired me to have a tank again one day. 5 years later I got a 29gal and danios/swords/pleco and I am getting back into bettas. I am getting more plecos and some cichlids next year!

Thanks to the betta's, my family is planning when we move into a bigger house to get a koi pond, saltwater and freshwater tanks plus a breeding set up for betta's. (My dad dreamed twice that I had become a famous breeder.)

Yeah, bettas are usually the "gateway fish" (as said in the paragraph on the main bettafish.com page.)

With a 32 gallon tank, there are a lot of other options you have for what you can get though!

Well, if you do, remember your friends on the forum. lol

Get guppies!!! Hahaha :)

Surprisingly being into other fish trickled into me getting bettas.
