OK, guys, help me out here, please. I went to nnnnnn today to get tires for my car. Naturally while I waited I had to cruise the fish aisle. I got captured by what I think is a yellow and black crowntail female betta. She is the cutest thing I've ever seen! She was in one of those bubblegum machine looking aquariums along with a male betta and another female betta. Now, I only hope the one I brought home is a betta She doesn't have those long, skinny fins like the males have Do females have those? She is freaking out and swimming circles around the bowl real fast, so a pic is out of the question right now. The thing that concerns me is that I have yet to see her surface for air. Now I'm afraid I've brought home a tropical fish (not a betta) who needs a filter and none of my tanks have one. help?

I have no idea bit here's a link to a store that sells female bettas that seems to have alot of info/pics of them - maybe it will help???

Hope this helps!

Good grief..............nnnnnn sold me a fancy guppy as a female betta........and just as bad, I bought it Now it's almost 11:00pm - don't know if I can take it back tonight - or if it will live till morning. They did have a little darling blue female betta and that one I'm sure about. I wanted her really bad as she was calling me to take her home, but then the lady showed me the guppy, telling me that it was a rare type of female betta. Come on Hope they still have that little blue cutie.

P.S. Thanks, Jenn for that link. From their pics I was able to identify the little bugger!

Jazzie,what did you end up doing?

No Problem - What did you end up doing??

Sharon and Jenn - about the guppy - I still have it in a vase and I've been feeding it some of the micro-pellets. It would be happier in a larger tank, I think, but otherwise it's doing great. It eats, poops and swims very fast. Do they do anything else? And I'm looking for a new home for it (at someone else's house).

P.S. I didn't end up with the little blue girl betta, either. I talked myself out of getting her since I DO NOT want to breed them. I'm not mentally wired for that

OMG That guppy is so fat it looks like it's pregnant Somebody please tell me it's not going to do that to me????????????

That would be my luck too! Oh my - guppy babies???

Maybe Sharon can help ( since so many of her tanks are in "the family way" right now! She prob knows!

Oh My - Good Luck!!
