I went to local tropical fish store today and bought myself two beautiful Betta fish, i got some shot when they was in action. "crouching tiger & hidden dragon"

How cute!! We have one that looks like the red one and we call him Bubbles because he makes bubble nest all the time

Thanks Marissa, Yes ... I think when betta make their own bubbles net it mean they ready to mate with female betta

Beautiful, I had one of these guys years ago but I kept it in a cold water tank and It didnt do well I think it got fin rot finally and passed away, I would love to try again if we get a tropical tank again they really are beautiful little guys. At the moment we have two orandas.

Those are great, Darren. I need to get another one sometime. I have a huge tank full of plants and no fish ... lol I just hate seeing them for sell in stores all stacked on a shelf in those little plastic containers.

I agree, I have mine in a small (1gal.) tank in our living room. I use tap water and just add conditioner each time I change the water. What I do is put the fresh water next to it's tank for about an hour so the old and new water will have the same temps.
