My new girls were extremely cooperative during Picture Time a little while ago. These are the best pics I've ever taken of fish. Here is Pinky. She's asserting herself as the dominant so far.  Here is another shot. She has a little black dot on her head/back. I'm hoping it's just a birthmark or something.  Here's red. She's a little timid.  Here's Sally in the 10. My good picture luck ran out when I decided to try some pics of the 10.  |

Nice pics Stephanie! ;D
My favorite is the second one of Pinkie, I like the reflection and her color looks really nice here.

Beautiful! I love your pictures. Pinky looks like my female betta Dot. But mine is cuter unless yours jumps and gives a cute look when it's feeding time. lol

Thanks everyone!  Mine haven't figured out feeding time yet. I feed them yesterday and they just kind of wandered around and stared at the food before deciding to eat it. I hope mine aren't jumpers! It stresses me out too much when they do that! My scissortail rasbora jumps almost every time someone walks into the den if the tank light isn't on. He's such a big sissy! |

If that's what you're getting at, mine don't jump out of fear, they jump for joy. I drop a pellet into their water, then they give a look like they're focusing and preparing to jump. Read, aim, fire!

Funny! I went to Petsmart yesterday and almost took home a baby girl Betta. Just because of your pictures...lol Then I started thinking, oops no place to put her. Need a ten gal tank, but then I would want more fish..Does it ever stop?? I can see tanks every where in my house! lol

Havce you tried a 2 1/2 gallon? That won't take up much room a nd will certainly be big enough. Congarts on getting her! Hope she's doing well.

I didn't mean that yours jump out of fear. I was talking about my rasbora. He's very jumpy when the tank light isn't on. He's afraid of dark even if it's not dark in the room! lol Jasper my old CT would try to jump for food every time I opened the lid, like it sounds like yours do. None of my current bettas do that. At least not yet. |

No, it's ok. Nothing's wrong with what you said. When yours get more tame and start to like you they will probably jump liek Jasper did. It's the fish saying "I want food and give to to me faster!" My female bettas will forget that they are aggressive and all 7 of them bunch up in a corner and jump saying "Feed me!" They're very cute. lol
...Why would your fish be afraid of the dark? Mine are alwasy afraid when the light comes on if it was dark previously. I believe that rasboras are schooling fish (not totally sure) so if it is by itself, maybe it needs a few more for company.

I've thought about that too. I'm sure he is a little bit lonely. I used to have 3 rasboras, but one got sick and died, the other died of old age. I liked them, but I'm going to take a break from them, so I'm not buying any more for a while. He hangs out with the tetras and rainbows, but it's probably not the same as having your own relatives around...
The one that died of old age was an accident. I wanted head and tail lights, and when I got home, I realized I had a scissortail! I think he grew up believing he was a head and tail light, lol.

If he hangs out with the tetras, I wouldn't worry about it too muhc then. Afterall, you can't keep rasboras forever just like I had to give up on breeding bettas. Hope all goes well. I think I'm in love with your white betta. XD

Oh well, she's very spunky and I'm looking forward to seeing how she fares in the 30 gallon. |
