Phil Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi Guys, I just won this guy tonight. I am on a quest to find the perfect green colour, so this guy is greenish, plus white marble so fits in with my 2 lines i want to continue with. What do you think? I think the fins need to grow abit to look more balanced but like the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I love the colour. he's very plakaty, isn't he? Fantastic blunt dorsal and anal fins, and good balance. I wonder if Stefan will notice the curve of his spine I have a nice girl you can borrow if you want: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiPS Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 His fins are on the small side, but well-balanced with each other. Colour is very striking. I have some girls who would be perfect matches colour-wise, but the form wouldn't be up to the standard you'd want. Very interested in fry though :lookaround: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 I love the colour. he's very plakaty, isn't he? Fantastic blunt dorsal and anal fins, and good balance. I wonder if Stefan will notice the curve of his spine <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I did notice the spine/topline of this guy, as well as the topline of the black pk... But this guy's finnage is Fantastic! I love his dorsal especially It looks like he might become a rosetail as he matures. If you breed him to Lilli's female you could get perfect fry Goodluck with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 he should grow up to be a stunner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettabegood Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 He's pretty special, Phil ... and I'd guess from that photo that he knows it too!! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 ooooohhhh just imagine the babies of that pair good buy Phil, he's deff a stunner. I've found that the more proper green comes up in either marble or black lace. just a thought still have to breed my green marble that I got a cple of months ago. He's got a green girl sitting next to him in the barracks, but no room/time anyway ( ) i hope you find a good girl for him Phil, or the one Lilli has :lookaround: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishchick Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 hmmm yes, he did start out with more caudal - guess he had an "inflight" snack! : P Fantastic photo!! He's gained more colour on the body as he's matured. Cheers, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 This guy has turned out to be the best betta i have ever owned. Take a look at him now, he is even more impressive in real life. He is going off to live with lilli soon for some serious breeding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
