Hiya dodge...

thanx sooo much...

ahhh m soo glad that Cindy is doing much much better now...


Dunno where to post these pics of my Betta fish...from my garden...i have couples n families in their private concrete 'ponds'...n this morning i noticed this couple engaged in 'procreation'...suppose most have seen Betta fighting...they r very well known for that...well that is their other name...fighting fish.... but have u seen them mating...? here r some pics....







Enjoy...n have a nice day...!

WOW - fascinating!

I thought the female was dead in the fourth picture? Do they die afterwards?
Are those small white things eggs?

THANKS NML, I LOVED THE FISH STORY, AND NEVER SEEN THEM THA COLOR .. YOU MUST HAVE A COOL AREA THERE.. SHOW US YOUR HOUSE SOMETIME.


tHANKS FOR SHARING TOO.

Hi plant n' pots...

think she was just a little stunned...nope she doesnt die from this...n the white thing r bubbles...d eggs r smaller...saw d male picked some from d female's belly...n from d surrounding...

Hi dodge...yup may b one day i will...but for d moment i wanna share d beauty of d Betta fish....

These ones r so darn difficult to capture on film...they do dart around ever sooo fast...so i caught 'em in my 'net' so they won't b darting around...wanted soo much for u to see their beauty but i think i have failed to capture that...!



..the same guy...different angle...



..n here r his 'wives'

...n here is another guy...d same colors i think...


...same guy..



..this guy has a rather big family...here r some of his offsprings...



Enjoy...n have a nice day!!

...woops forgot to add pics of their 'homes'...



...a closer shot...

WOW - thanks for sharing more great pictures Alba!!!
I had a couple of betta fish in separate vases - they don't live too long that way here though...

Tell me - is that a mosaic plant in the 4th and 5th pictures? I'm thinking of getting some of that for my pond this summer - it won't make it through winter here, but I love the way it looks!

nml,

wow gorgous photos. I love it all. You do so well on everything .
Looks like a Tropical Heaven there. The Betta fish lasted 2 days at my house.
I am a fish killer , I guess. My sister is the opposite. Indoors or out the fish are huge.

Thanks a lot.. Show us anything on here , we love your work.

Wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing.

too many pics for me to upload but I seen the first few...Fish porn

Bad Tamara I never thought about it that way :wink:

Teaching her fellow countrymen the wrong way, isnt she?????????

They have such pretty color. I never even thought of them living outside. Do they move around more outside?

Hi Sheri...yess they do move...err dart around much....



Hi plants n' pots...yep think they r whats known s mosaic plant...they have small yellow flowers...

Hi dodge, kenny n tamara....

...n s a result of that 'porn'....think i have n overpopulation problem here.... look at the young bettas i collect to transfer away today.... this is a second batch of transfer...didn't take a pic of d first.... only about 12 of 'em in d first batch.... these little ones r all from about two or three different couples....




Have a nice day everyone...!

WOW - I just love all the colors - very nice!!!

Can't wait til they are fully colored up - please post more pictures then?

Hi dodge....

Here r a few more Betta pics.... but think d camera didn't do justice to this guy...it failed to capture his amazing colors...nonetheless...here he is...isn't he a beauty?!







Enjoy...n have a nice day!
