dumbo

Hi everyone! My 10-gallon tank is finally cycled and I am ready to buy my betta! I love dumbo ears but many of them I have seen are labeled dumbo half-moon. I am worried about getting a betta that has oversized pectoral fins and is a half-moon because I think they would have a hard time...

Hello Everyone, It has been nearly 20 years since I have done my first successful Betta Spawn as I left the hobby aside during this time I had no time or resources to attempt this again. So, here I am with a nearly ready couple to attempt this again! Why 'Nearly'!!! Because the male seems...

EE Female X Cosmo HMPK Male I will post pictures of the Female tomorrow. Has anyone ever spawned a similar pairing? I would love to hear your experiences. :smile2:

Well, he wasn't what I went looking for at all, but who could resist this goofy looking guy? So Admiral went into the 20 long community (where he's thriving) and Norbert got his own 5 gallon. After hiding and resting up the first two days he's now full of energy and Mr. Personality!

Look at this beautiful boy I won at an Auction from Fishchick Aquatics (Jodi-Lea Matheson) I'm so excited, I'm already trying to think of a name for him! Any suggestions? He should arrive in 2 days. My 7.3G tank is looking quite empty since I've moved Callisto to his old 2.5G home! :-P

Hello Bettafish community, I've been handling bettas for a good amount of time, and I've never had this experience with a boy who's fins won't heal. I come from mostly a ciclid background, but have fallen in love with several of the wild-betta types. On that note, the kids really like the...

I have been having a terrible week and happened to be in PetCo to window shop the day they got a shipment. Well, we all know how that goes. Left this guy there, went home, and then drove back right before they closed to pick him up because I caved. Actually, there's a bit of a story: my...

Hi there, I am new to this forum and so far I am loving it but I do have a question about my male dumbo betta, I bought him about a month ago from a local fish store, when I purchased him and put him in his tank, he would always seem very sad, and I don't know... floppy?! As if he is weak, I've...

I recently bought this guy at a local fish store, I think he is so unique, I love dumbos, I think they are just the cutest.

Hello, nearly a month ago, my little brother begged for a female betta. With permission granted, he was allowed to purchase one and the proper setup with his own money. I helped him through the process. We went to PetSmart as its the nearest pet store since LFS seems to not be a thing in my...

Hello! So I am absolutely in love with dumbo bettas, problem is here in Canada my petsmart and other LFS dont sell them. I cant find any for sale and I'd prefer not to buy from Aquabid because of the high prices. If anyone has or knows someone who has Dumbos I would love to chat. Preferably in...

Hey guys! I have a dumbo betta that's a tail biter and his tail is healing fantastically, but when I bought him I noticed that he may have chewed one of his pectoral (dumbo ear) fins. Do dumbo betta pectoral fins grow back? I haven't seen any new tissue forming at all.

IDK if this is really the right section, but I don't think there's really anywhere else, plus it feels kind of chatty and I'm just curious about it. So: why do all the elephant ear betta fish I've seen have the exact same (ok, similar) coloring? (Purpley-grey with white-ish- or something like...

Hi all! For Christmas I treated myself to the betta of my dreams:lol:. Fryderyck is a dumbo delta tail boy and I knew when I bought him he looked like a tail biter (he had a chunk missing, but it was healing and growing). Last week Fryderyck started tail biting, he's healing up now but I still...

This unnamed fish lived for nearly 7 months after I rescued him from PetSmart, blind, starved, and infected with a fungus. He finally succumbed to dropsy this evening, but he fought for his life for a long time. After his rescue his fungal infection was cured within a month and his sight was...

Hello! Here I will be posting progress, questions, and results relating to my first spawn. I want to introduce myself first; My name is Logan, I'm 15 years old and live in Boise Idaho. I've had fish since I was 5, and always have been fascinated by them. In August of 2014 I purchased my third...

Hello everyone, I decided to actually make this cause I was lurking around this area, bored to death, and I'm pretty sure Dawn is sick of me, haha. My online name is Fawn Enasni, and I congratulate anyone who realizes what Enasni means. I'm 13 years old and I swear I have murdered anyone who...

I go to petsmart once a week, I always of course look at the bettas!! And usually bring one home lol. Im just wondering is that all elephant ear/dumbo betta fish at petsmart has only small tails???! I've been going to petsmart for couple years but started getting interested in elephant ears...

~~I APOLOGIZE FOR THE MASSIVE PHOTOS~~ I don't plan on breeding this pair until after summer but I thought I would show everyone the pair I've chosen! The plan is not to breed for anything specific, I just want to breed for experience. Not looking for a specific colouring, not looking to have a...
