jo oakley Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I thought it was time to show you the replacement for Pig.(well didn't think just handed over the money) His name is Spur, I bought him on the spur of the moment Spur looked so sad in his small container, I had to bring him home. I didn't see him flair in the shop, his flairing now:lol:. Not a perfect fish but a nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnylass Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'm thinking Spur has thought he's died and gone to fishy heaven. Good buy, he's a gorgeous boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhong89 Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 He's beautiful! Who says he's not perfect? He's gorgeous! Why does he have irregularities on his tail? Is it mild rose-tail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 He is very pretty Jo! Good find from the LFS. I'm sure he is very, very happy to have a loving home. Hope he likes the lavender girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo oakley Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Sunnylass, Spur does think he's in fishy heaven, he escaped from his isolation tank. He is in with 4 small female guppies in a 30inch tank, it has 2 small tanks floating in there holding Guppies from someone. Spur keeps flaring at the male Guppies like mad LOL Joan, I think your right about him being a rose tail, that is a big no no in my books?? But I had to save him, He looked so sad. Sarah, I am glad you like him, I am hopeing to pick up dalyall's girls next Sunday. Edited November 21, 2010 by jo oakley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbites Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hey Jo... a christmas tank is what you make of it.... depends what a Betta Christmas looks to your imagination..... I'm thinking of my Bettas sitting round the pool and bbq'ing some worms and brine shrimp.... maybe with a few eskies of IAL extract between them Seriously.... lights, decorations, ornaments, gravel, plants, tank backgrounds, or anything else the imagination can conjure up could make a "Betta Christmas" tank.... Spur really wants to be part of the competition he told me (did you know he has a twitter account?) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo oakley Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 The little Bugger, I will have to get him to show me how to get my account going All I get on my twit account is error on page He's smarter than me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bec Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hey Jo, I think the rose tails are among the nicest to look at, even when they are not flaring they tend to look spectacular (provided they are not so extreme that there ventrals are tiny and the balance in the tail must be close to the rest of the fins). I have two rose tail type fish and find they are the ones visitors always love the most, especially as they swish around the tank like primadonnas with their long full skirts. Maybe they are not good for breeding into some lines but I think that they are a beautiful addition to the betta world and with selective and knowledgeable breeding why cant they be an acceptable version?
