My New Bettas :)

[Kitty Whiskers]

Here are my new Female Bettas. Top picture is Lacey (on top) and her twin sister Laney. Both are Orange VT. Middle picture is Spectra, I'm not sure what her color type is but she is a VT. Bottom picture is Little Girl Jani and she is a dark Blue CT.

Lacey and Laney were in a tank at the petstore together and the other new female bettas they added were picking on them so much they hid in the plants together and were fin nipped so much. I felt sorry for them and so I bought them both. Spectra came from Wal Mart and Little Girl Jani came from PetCo. Spectra was nice to everyone right away. Little Girl Jani wasnt one of the females that I wanted to buy at first glance, but all the other ones seemed too mean. I spent 2 hours holding up all different female bettas in their cups side by side to see which females were calm or which ones wanted to fight. Jani never tried to fight with any of the other fish I held up to her cup so she won! LOL Now all 4 of my Female Bettas get along perfectly together.

Thanks! ... New Update... Lacey's fins are almost all the way grown back now since her and her sister were so fin nipped at the pet store.

Laney's fins are totally back to good health and even has shiny blue rays showing between the spaces in her tail fin!

Both Lacey and Laney are so much more Orange and have a luster that makes their scales shinier too now.

Spectra has her fins growing back too, but more slowly, ever since Binky (RIP) Bit them off when she first came.

Little Girl Jani is an even darker blue, almost a dark purpleish blue and her head is a darker black now. I wasn't sure if Little Girl Jani was a Crown Tail or not, but now I see she is a CT. She has longer little "forks" growing off the ends of each ray of her fins, especially her tail fin.

And all 4 are so much longer and bigger! I must be doing something right after all

Yeah I have 2 Orange Females. I call them twins because they were in the same batch of fish where I got Binky (RIP) that the pet store added a few weeks before they added the new batch of Females that attacked them. There were only 3 Bettas left in the tank. I bought Binky first, but then felt guilty for leaving the other 2 behind. So I went back a week later to buy them both and seen the pet store added a few more Female Bettas to that tank. They were afraid if the new Females at the store that were taking bites out of their fins. They huddled together under the plants and only came out if the other one was near by. It is like they are good sisters to each other so I bought them both. I feel like I saved them :)
