I kept a few betta for a while. I found that I enjoyed looking at photos of them (mainly on
aquabid dot com) more than I did keeping them. My cat was pretty disappointed when I stopped keeping them.

A friend used to keep them outside during the summer in 5 gallon buckets. He had more buckets than fish so when a bucket got a lot of mosquito larva in it he moved a betta to it. The females would get into great condition for breeding and the males were gorgeous. I've always heard that keeping fish outdoors as conditions permit will let them thrive. For these it really did.
I wanted to add that there are some great photos in this thread. Always better in person, but they are knockouts from the pics!

Another boy, this time a DT boy! he was supposed to cost $20, however the lady at the cash register put him through as a female DT so I got him for $7.70 :| thats cheaper than the standard VT boys!

Any idea of a name? He's pretty little, I think he's rather young.

i used to keep bettas a few years back but gave up on them after about a year or so. had 12 at one stage and loved them all. i think i had at least one of each tail type at one stage. these are only 2 of the better shots ive got. the pictures were taken about 4 years ago when a good camera had 5megapixles lol
