Hi everyone.
I Just wanted to comment on all the beautiful betta pictures in this thread. I adore the bettas myself.
I have around 18 of them all different colors. I have two baby female bettas at work and am planning on bringing in two males. I am starting a 2.5 gallon bow tank that has a divider at work. I also have one of the little half moon tanks that I am going to add a divider to for the other two bettas when I bring them into the office. The rest of my clan I am keeping at home.
I will try to take pics tonight and upload them tomorrow.

Here is a picture of my crowntail

I've put him on here before but I just got my elephant ear to pose really nicely. I showed him his reflection for a few seconds and he was puffed up long enough for a photo op.
When I first put him on here he didn't have a name. He's now officially named Jazzy (cause the "ears" look like jazz hands) but I sometimes call him Grumpy (cause he has a bad attitude and murders ghost shrimp).
It's so hard to get a pic of his actual colors...

I have a betta that I can't get unbloated....I've basically just been fasting him, cuz every time I put in a blanched mushed pea bit near him, he sucks it in then spits it out...and I swear he gives me a disgusted look after. It's been since Monday that I've been trying to get him to eat pea bits. Is there another way to help bloat?

I've heard of using an Epsom salt bath because it's a laxative but haven't tried it.

Wow!! Can't wait to see all your betta buddies
Sorry i know i said i would get pics but I haven't had time to take the pics yet. I have to take my 10 month old poodle puppy to get spayed tomorrow. Hopefully this weekend I will get some pics of the bettas to upload.

Love the greens and the one which looks like it has some blue fins. I miss having so many!

I have used it once before and I think it was a tsp per gallon Epsom Salts, pre-dissolved in treated water and added a few ounces at a time over the course of a day.
Had no bad effects, fish wasn't very bad off, seemed a little bloated and lethargic, so I tried it and he was fine the next day.
Just continued on normal course of pwc, and made sure to add 1/4 tsp per gallon (dissolved first) of regular aquarium salt after that for a while. Now I just add a smaller amount periodically, maybe an 1/8 tsp. per gallon. Not too much because of plants.
Just make sure it doesn't have fragrances, and additives.

Thanks! I lost two of them, the one with the blue crowntail fins and a similarly colored veiltail. They were the only two that were fighting, though, and there hasn't been any overt aggression out of the others so I am keeping my fingers crossed that the remaining four will continue to get along. Thankfully they beat each other up instead of beating everyone up.
