Official "PetCo Baby Betta" Thread

I found my baby! It was hiding in the divider. Baby is fine it just has a little scratch on its back. I have baby in the cup and I think I'm going to keep baby in the cup for the next day or two just to watch over it.

So this week 2 of taking care of baby. I thought it was a girl now I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure baby is a VT.

Yay! I'm glad baby is alright.

For the person talking about double tail babies. I saw the most beautiful baby double tail today. The baby had clear fins & a pale colored body. It looked to be in good health too! Wish I could have gotten her/him myself, but I have no room ATM. :(

Thank you. I want to petco this past Saturday and saw they just gotten in a bunch of new baby's. They were all vt's and they all look the same. I was hoping to find a double tail like everyone else. No luck. :(

Around 5-8 weeks males start to get aggressive. So it's not a good idea to keep them together.

Muasdc, a young betta especially needs a heater and more space than the cup it came in.

Makkuro is three days home and very curious :)
Also showing sooty coloration to match its sooty nose ^___^
