Hey

Hello,

My names Richy. Yesterday me and my partner recieved a Betta from Kelly. He is a wonderful red, black and green halfmoon. He is enjoying his time in his new 35l Arc tank, swimming through the live plants and taking a rest on top the filter. This morning he blew himself a bubble nest, I was amazed to see how quick he recovered from his travels and made himself at home.

I have kept Betta's in the past, with the intention to breed but it never happened. I have never had male blow a bubble nest as big as this before, so hopefully with the right girl, we may be having some fry in the not so distant future.

I will hopefully be getting some pics of this guy.... well, if he stays still longer enough for me to take some haha!

If you have any questions to ask, please do

Take care,

Richy~

Hi Richy and welcome! We have lots of experienced people to help you with a spawning if you need it. Don't hesitate to ask questions. I went by Richy up until my late teens and that's what my oldest son goes by now. Pictures are an absolute must! So post 'em if you got 'em. (or when you get 'em)

welcome Richy,
i'm so glad he'd perked up after the txt when he arrived! The last thing i expected to hear was that he's started on the nest building! lol

Its so good to hear he's settled so fast for you and I would also love to see his picture now he's in his new home

Hello and Welcome to the forum, great to hear your betta is in tip top condtion.

Welcome Richy! Can't wait to see pics of your bettas!

Here he is, couldn't get any good pictures of him. If only he would stay still long enough

Is he mainly red, blue or black? Who knows when the light shines!

Are you sure he is a HM, Kel? He looks more like a SD?

his pic is there (no. 5 bbt43... taken on 3rd march... looks hm to me, he also has growing to do so may spread slightly more.

give him time to display his full flare.

I agree, kel. He won't flare for me. He is never still enough to see the mirror! Haha

When will he be dully grown?

Richy

he's still got atleast 4-6 weeks of obvious growing to do, after that it willl be very slight.

He's young enough to still have plenty of meals a day without causing him and hassle.

Hi and welcome Richy! You'll find friendly and helpful people here. Doesn't Kel have nice Bettas? I like your selection!

Great looking betta there mate, kel has a brill fish selection.
