My first DT Sandusky died Christmas Day...
So, now i expand my collection and thrive to breed only the purest DT lines possible. Imagine, all from little Sandusky.

So here are my comming all the way from Kansas on Friday.
Tsunami DT male (left side) Turquoise/copper

Malaysia DT female (also left side, she's got more color to her now) CT with red/copper

The breeder also threw in a BLACK COPPER DT male he didn't want, his cadual fin is a bit crooked.

Also, the breeder aslo threw in this guy because he just doesn't want him anymore, i'm guessing he won't breed for him. (that's ok, i don't plan to breed this guy anyway) This is not a current picture, this is the AB picture the breeder shown to me. MG CT.

Nehe, thanks, it'll be a while before i spawn any, maybe a good 2 months or so.

Gorgeous! Congratulations and good luck with them.

WOOHOO! The bettas have landed! Pictures up real soon.

I'll bet your excited!

Malaysia, sorry for the blur she was hard to photo.


And this guy... :hyper: his tail is just so GLORIOUS!





More pictures tomorow as they are all still in acclimating jars with indian almond leaves and haven't coloured up completely.

I thought i might just add the pictures of my other two bettas, cambodian plakats.

Tam, those are by far some of the most beautiful bettas I've ever seen!
WOW! Thanks for the pics, which, by the way, are excellent, too!

Gorgeous fish! Congratulations.

Hehe, DT's i just love them so much :wub
Running out today to buy another 5-gallon and heater, more pictures i promise! (and this time not with the indian almond leaf water lol)

Ok so i didn't have enough for another 5-gallon/hood/heater, but i did get a 1-gallon tank.
More pictures as promised, God i love these little guys, and a new gal.

Tsunami






Malyasia, she coloured up nicely.



More pictures in the next post...

Seychelles





Tigerclaw

New girlie...i think i'll call her Midnight, she's a real dark melano when she stops barrign up. Too bad she's a crownie, i was looking for just a VT but my LFS only gets crownie girls in.



Tank shot, from left to right, Seychelles, tsunami, Malaysia, Tigerclaw and Midnight is in the front.


And uh oh! Look whom found my tanks! Smudgie that dern kitty.



Jeesh that's a lot of pictures, i'm sorry ya'll with dial up.

omg! i hate you for having such nice bettas : kinda puts a shadow over mine.....

Aww... don't hate me! I just don't get that many from petstores anymore, all ordered. What's funny, i wish i had a really nice VT to call my own, but i can't find any of those!

Wow! Your bettas look great. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Smudgie is pretty darn cute, too

awww! i didnt mean i literally hated you! just an extreme form of envy <_< i just... maybe want to steal your bettas...... you'd like to give me your address wouldnt you? so i can, erm, pay you a surprise visit? mwuhahahahaaaaa..... btw, those pics are awsome. youre a great photographer!

You're all welcome over anytime! Just...don't take the fish... <_<

I'm going to be breeding both DT males and the female, so if and when the spawn turns out you are welcome to a few fry.
As for the photos, they're just random moments captured by a canon camera, "life as canon sees it" as the old Ntional Geographic ad goes. But thank you very much.

any babies yet??

Hey Tam nice bettas you got there. I really liked the Tsunami one with yellow/greenish colouration.

Btw: do you keep them in bowls?

No babies yet, and no i don't EVER keep them in bowls. Only 2.5 gallon tanks, only time they go in bowls are for water changes.

WOW! I wish I had such pretty bettas...and that many! Very clear photos, I can't get my one to sit still! thanks for sharing!
