Phil Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hi Everyone, This is my new pair that i have just bought from NiceBettas. I think *Finally* i have found a colour that i am really into, has taken long enough! I like dragons but couldnt go past the rich colours of this guy, and his spawn sister isnt half bad herself Here they are: Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Are they definitely a pair? How old is that female supposed to be? Gorgeous nonetheless *thinks fry thoughts* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Well i got photos of 4 pairs to choose from and this female looked totally differnt to the others, the same as the male did. So i presume they are the same They are 3.2 months old, but the thai fish always seem huge! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Wow Phil, what a great buy, the colours are fantastic , just wondering if "Crystal" is the strain name or if it's in reference to somehting else? All the best breeding them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuckie Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Beautiful pair of bettas, my fellow westie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Gorgeous pair Phil! good luck with them http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif I bet they are a variation of the dragons, perhaps from red copper dragon x red gold dragon or something along those lines? Do you have background info Phil? Strain name definately imo, and it suits them very well http://ausaqua.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingfishfancier Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Fantastic colours, beautiful looking fish. :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Thanks everyone. I am not sure what 'Crystal' means. To me it looks just like a red dragon that dosent have masking. Either way, i love them! :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Top fish Phil, they are a very nice colour, goodluck with spawning them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I got this pair today. The male is soooo beautiful in real life, and so active, he has been flaring non stop for the last hour at the female floating in his tank! Here are some quick pics, i really should of cleaned the glass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VickiPS Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 By gee, he's beautiful, Phil! "Crystal" is a good name -- he reminds me of red beaded velvet. How gorgeous :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 WOW, look at all that finnage, very nice Phil is he that purple colour in real life, or more the Gold colour in the first pic? I luv the look of the purple and red tho Good luk with them :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Sorry for not replying Robbie! It is a purplish colour. Its strange because the metallic bits have the purplish sheen of copper, but the metallic colour isnt copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 The female is actually a real looker in real life, this is a bad pic, but she is in a big tank so was difficult to get a better one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Awesome , They are fantastic! And that male :tongue: , that's a whole lot of fin for such a little fish , get a load of those ventrals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 WHY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splendidbetta Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 OUCH! He chewed it? At least he came with hardly any damage and lovely full fins... others of us havn't been so lucky Have you exposed him to other fish for longer flaring periods lately? Done a stressful WC?

Chuckie Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 INGRATE!!!!! As stefan said though, you did at least get to see him in his glory - unlike ANY of the bettas I got on my last shipment! And this way you need have no reservations about spawning him in case he gets damaged. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Did he do that himself? GEEZ he is flexible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Well he was the only one in his tank Ab I added a corner filter to his tank with bubbles on really softly, that is the only thing that i can think of Stefan. And Lisa, he is already in the spawning tank, his chunky female is floating and there is a big nest happening :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leela Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Welcome to my world Phil! Geez how on earth did he reach all the way back there?????? Must be a yoga-betta..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
