shadoh Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I went to Fishchicks this morning with Busman and his Dad. I couldn't resist buying this pair. I love black bettas and I love dragons. Seemed like a perfect match I have been wanting to do a spawn while I am waiting for the Jewel Box spawn to finish growing out.

kermadum Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not too shabby at all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 These guys look better in person IMO I was going to get then until someone brought out the halfmoon pair of her car. If you sell the fry I would love to buy some, or maybe I could swap for some of my halfmoon ones . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 :drool: There was a halfmoon pair???????? Will be happy to do a swap when we have some... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 There was they were the ones in my critique thread. He is beutiful when his fins arn't eaten and he flares. What do you keep your fry in? I am still getting everything I will need ready. I'm thinking a foam box filled with clean pots to. Let water circulate through.

shadoh Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Ah, of course - I remember your fish now I keep mine in 2lt soft drink bottles. Some fill up half of my 5ft grow out tank, others just sit wherever I have space. I plan on building a betta barracks soonish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Now that these guys have settled into their new home, they are looking a lot nicer than in the above photo. The female has an almost 180 deg caudal spread. The male has a more rounded tail, but still an impressive sight in full flare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 More impressive? Could you pleassee post pictures/videos? When do you plan to spawn them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 It may take a while Sarah, I just tried to take some pics. Got one of her, but he is one of those bettas that get the sillies whenever a camera comes out. I drained the rest of the battery trying to get a pic of him. Charging now and will try again later.

Fletch Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Lol. All of mine seem to suffer the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 OK Sarah, just for you: The only clear shot I managed to get of the boy was of his face. He refused to let me get a side on shot... This gives you a general idea of his personality. You'll just have to take the word of Busman, Matt_95 and myself that this is a beautiful boy And the girl, in comparison was quite laid back. She posed for the camera and practically rolled her eyes over her partners antics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Lovely! I like how you combined the photos. Thanks for the piccys. I guess the male just likes to take things 'head on'. Look at girlie's eyes in the bottom right-hand photo! Any names for them yet? Edited January 28, 2011 by Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Thanks Sarah, I figured it is easier to combine the photos rather than post 5 then wait for someone to comment before I add more. I'll be doing that from now on! No names as yet. I'm willing to take suggestions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 The girl is beutiful, much better than mine. I am thinking of heading down sunday to get another boy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) I went searching how to spell "Mithril"- the armour that saved Frodo from the Orcs spear - coz I thought it would be a good name for the girl, and stumbled across a dragon name generator... Just generates random names in "dragon language", "human language" and special dragon type names. Have a go, might lead you to some dragon names that you like. http://www.polenth.com/fun/dragon.cgi If I were a swamp dragon I think I would like to be: "Kindle Mountforth I of Pseudopolis" lol Edited January 29, 2011 by paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hahahaha. Seems you were right Busman... Wasn't feeling well and just woke up after an 18hr sleep! Feeling better now, but... I still like the name. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
