My blue-eyed boy

[Deanna01]

I honestly didn't know bettas could have blue eyes, but Courtland's match his color so beautifully. :)

wow, what a beautiful boy! Some bettas carry the blue eye gene, not a lot. Lude has it a bit, and only when he turns his eyes. Your boy has it all around!

[Deanna01]

Thank you! Yeah, he was my first Aquabid buy. I'm crazy about him, though he has so much finnage I think I may need to take some of the plants out of his tank!

[AyalaCookiejar]

Oh, my, he is beautifull <3 I love blue eyes! My girl Okami had blue eyes but she passed away from dropsy very young :(

He definitely does have some fins on him!

[Laki]

If anything, with such heavy finnage, the more plants the better! Gives him more to rest on ;)

[AyalaCookiejar]

I think less plants would be better.

Sometimes those with long finnage who are tailbiters because of it are only happy in a small, mostly bare tank. I think it's easier for them to get around if they don't have as much stuff to navigate around.

[Laki]

Ah, good point. I avoid heavier finned bettas other than VT but I thought more plants were better, thanks for clearing it up! I guess the OP can try whichever she thinks this blue eyed babe prefers :)

[Deanna01]

I'll have to watch him over the next few days and see. I'd like as many plants as possible, because I'm trying to do a silent cycle with them. :-/

His coloring looks somewhat like my Kohaku's, but his eyes are red. He's a beautiful boy though!

[AyalaCookiejar]

They are all different! Some may like less plants better and some may not mind more, but maybe if the tank were a giant jungle he might have troubles navigating through them with all that extra luggage?

The biggest issue with this is the tailbiters! If he's not a tailbiter he should be okay, but I know it's more common for ones with heavy finnage to get in to the habit :( he's beautiful! He may not mind more plants, either! It's all in the personality. :)
