Beautiful fish in the above posts! Love the planted bowl!
but on a sad note, I did lose Nancy last night And Elizabeth II is locked in a struggle for life right now. I'm rooting for her to pull thru, but at the moment its not looking good. But she's fighting as hard as she can. The other 4 snapped right out of it and are eating like horses and begging for more.

Sorry about the loss of Nancy.
How is Elizabeth II doing?
Thanks, Alyxx, Redsea Elizabeth II is alot better than she was before I went to bed. Well enough that she gave me a mini heart attack! I woke up early and went straight to her tank to check on her. And she was lying flat on the bottom, on her side. In all appearances dead as a doornail. So with a severe twinge of sadness, I went to get the long tweezers to remove her and as the tweezers touched her, she took off like a shot! the tweezers flew from my hands and I felt like a victim in a zombie movie! She musta felt the same as she is now hiding and I cant even find her! But I am sure when feeding time comes I will see her this time.
And troubles abound here, not only is the weather bad, and we are bracing for flooding...My house furnace went out and it is COLD again. I had an emergency move of ALL my male bettas back to their cups and they are now floating in all the heated tanks....and can now see each other...geez a sea of testoserone induced flaring. But I can turn off the tank lights and its peaceful again! And unfortunately, I dont have the funding to get each his own little heater. So as you can see....my breeding program is at a complete standstill, but....the males ARE floating in the female tank. Maybe the girls will egg up after seeing there ARE boys around, and I may get some fry out of this whole misadventure!!!

Did a water change on the girls tank....found Elizabeth II, she didn't make it. She was recovering, but I guess it was too much for her...
