New to the forum wanted to intro Our bettas Casper and Flower

[czeiszler]

So I am new to the forum and there is so much info. I wanted to intro our bettas the red one is casper and the black one is a female crowntail named Flower. We love our bettas. We got both of them from Bridges Pets in Snohomish and we are happy with them. Flower currently resides in a 29 gallon tank with guppies, tetras, a frog, snail, and a common pleco. She is very happy. Casper is in a 1 gal cube at the moment as we are trying to get his 2.5 up and running and ran into a problem with the rocks leaking color. He should be in his new home by tomorrow. I think I got their pics uploaded right but we will see. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Nice set ups and fish!

Thats a really nice female.

Very nice. I've been thinking of getting a betta. What tetras do you have with Flower? And do you find the longer fins on the guppies to be a problem with nipping?

[Fyurae]

Some bettas can be problematic with other fish, and some arent. One of mine is a huge VT and his reaction to tank mates is to sulk. My other betta is a smaller DT and he is quite ornery, so I wouldn't put him in with guppies or smaller fish. He is kind of a punk to the gouramis right now, but they are so much bigger and it's temporary.

Both of your bettas are so beautiful! Good luck with them.

I got my betta from Bridges Pets and she was in with other bettas and tetras. I currently have her with neons and whiteclouds and she is very happy and I have not seen her nip any guppy fins but I have seen her muscle them outta the way to get to food. She is going to be relocated to a 10 gallon with casper with a divider. Sorry this post took so long don't know how I missed the previous posts.

I enjoyed having a Betta; it was a little lazy - just chill, wait for food, chill some more. But, it would swim in and out of my palm, which I thought was really niice.

Seras Betta chases my hand its so funny. They have great personalities. They are lazy too though. My MIL's betta lays on a rock all day until someone comes near his tank

Bettas seem to laze around, conserve energy for their main purpose of eating. Nice looking
Bettas and I haven't been to Bridges in so long. No vehicle ATM.

[czeiszler]

Too True they are lazy lol and they like their food. Bridges is nice i am sure i could go to petco or petsmart and save a dollar or two but Bridges staff are knowledgable and friendly. and they don't lie if they don't know they go find someone who might know.

[F.Banks]

Petco actually is coming up with some decent and full compliment of Bettas. Even HM's, Deltas and HMPK's. They had a Green Lace Delta which I missed out on that had beautiful fins.

You just have to take into account the care they recieve and some stores are better than others.

[czeiszler]

Thats cool. I am just really leary near my house because i have seen poor conditions.
