Thank you. I thought about breeding them. According to the breeder, they won't be ready for three months. That gives me time to decide but I'm leaning towards not. The stress and expense might not be worth it. Hope your move, remodel and job hunt goes quickly and well. We did a remodel last...

Names are picked! After over 50 imaginative, downright weird, literary, lovely, and entertaining names - here they are! Boy: Artax Quasar Parthos Girl: Jasmina Glynis Bliss As you can see, I couldn't pick just one each. :lol: Thank you everyone for suggestions.:flowers: Terri

[/ATTACH]I think I finally got it. Girl won't let me close enough to get a good pic of her. I'll look for my camera's battery tomorrow, then do a little scaping, and try to put up some pics that do them justice.

Pics! Taken with iPhone so not so great. Still gotta scape tanks. Boy doesn't like his fake plant and log so his tank is completely bare. Okay trying. Bear with me. I'm also waiting on a friend to get me for dinner and a movie. This wouldn't work when I was in a hurry.:(

Thank you ScottyHorse and Marsh!

Hey y'all! They are both alive. The boy is flaring, the girl is alive but hides when she sees me :blink:. I'll try to post pics sometimes today. Thanks for reassurances. It helps to know they are tougher than I gave them credit for being. PS - I wake up late. That's why I update y'all so...

Thank you for the encouragement re the bettas. I'm indeed stressed too so I need it. I'll keep y'all updated with news and pics, soon I hope.

I'm sorry. I didn't wake up until noon my time, and then I got busy talking to a friend. I thought I crushed her in the lid's hinge last night .She stopped moving after that, and a few times I thought she was dead but I left here just in case she recovered. I was scared, felt guilty, and...

She is pure white too! I will post pics as soon as the tanks clear. Wasn't feeling well last few days so didn't get stuff into them until last night (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). I will attempt to take pics tomorrow morning if the tanks are clear by then. Hopefully, I'll have...

So far they are okay. The male is happily swimming around. And deciding to perch on the heater. I can't wait for their 'plants' to get here from Petco today. It taking them long enough. The female is hanging in the corner by the filter intake. The filter is not on. I did put Prime in the tank...

The bettas are here! They arrived about 45 minutes ago. I almost lost the female - I put them in separate uncovered cups while I transferred water from the tanks into their shipping water. While I was in one room with the male, she jumped from her cup on the counter to under the kitchen...

Meant betta being aggressive as far as eating shrimp, even big ones. Hear they just eat those piece by piece. And re: platies, not serpae. I wasn't clear - sorry.

I'm setting up two tanks for my bettas tomorrow. I didn't plan timing well so no time to do a fishless cycle. So I'm trying two kinds of bacteria in a bottle in two different tanks. I'll use Tetra Safestart in one tank. I found it at PetSmart. I was told to shake it verrry well. I've heard...

I'm sorry. Fish can sometimes be as much a pain as a joy. Keep your head up! Take some slow deep breaths and pay attention to something else instead of worrying about them.

I'm getting my new bettas in this week, both white. I've seen the video of the male. That bad boy is aggressive - I wouldn't trust him with anyone else in the tank with him. I don't think bettas care about their own colors as far as whether or not they would attack another flashy fish...
