That's one scary picture.

The mental image of a spoiled fish is scary?

Did I miss something?

Every male fighting fish I've ever had has had its own glass jar, rocks, live plant to rest on, both live and flake food to eat, water conditioner and freqent individual jar cleanings. Males are so needy.

The females could get along and live in one tank together.

I associate posts with avatars, so when the really scary avatar changed, I thought the post was deleted.

And how can a fish by spoiled? Updated On: 8/9/06 at 07:27 PM

Just another fisherman's tale of the one that got away.

My fish fight each other through the glass of their separate bowls.

Other than that, they don't really do very much.

If I ever had a beta, I'd name it Fish Sticks.

lol sorry i was just playing around with pictures and that one was from seussical which would explain its hideousness, and it's spoiled because I buy it crap all the time. Seriously since its the only pet I can have at college I'm getting pretty attached to it lol, I'll randomly be like "ooh that would look great in my fish tank"!

My betas are named Bianca (after Taming of the Shrew) and Nymphadora (after Harry Potter).

Previous betas have included Principessa Amelie Anastasia Satine (after Life is Beautiful, Amelie, Anastasia, and Moulin Rouge), Benjamin Fitzwilliam Edward Logan (after Sweeney Todd, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Veronica Mars), and Henrik (after A Little Night Music/Henrik Ibsen).

No wonder my poor fish keep dying. I give them insane names.

Posted: 8/9/06 at 7:35pm

I have a beta too-its name is Audrey lol

I got too good at breeding betas once as I had a thing for lavender ones and you couldn't buy them in stores so I bred them into lavender.

I had 16 fish survive out of my first breed so I thought that was pretty good and then I had thirty some survive and then I got a little better at it and had over two hundred survive and an entire huge kitchen counter became like three tanks of females and some 120 little individual glass jars of males needing plants and frequent cleaning and certain kinds of clear tops in domes like icees have so they didn't leap out the top to try to fight their neighbors because they are great leapers and it all

got to be

TOO MUCH!

And I sold a brigade of them.

My goldfish spits gravel around his tank.

Sounds like he's working his chops to get better fishy diction.

Posted: 8/9/06 at 7:41pm

woah 120 betas...I can't imaginefeeding them must have taken like 15 minutes! lol

and I used to have a goldfish that liked to jump out of its tank onto the carpet, i dont know how but it lived for like 6 years, but it lost like 5 scales and it looked kind of ridiculous

Plus I would get or breed those funny cute little round wiggly pink daphnia water bugs for them to eat. And buy them those tiny little saltwater brine shrimp or grow those for them.

They got fed Tetramin and I also grew live mosquitoes in a tub of water outside as they loved to eat the mosquito larvae I would net for them (it takes 3 days to grow a full mosquito and I would never let them reach maturity).
