Just 11 he says the number keeps growing, Anja, i do keep telling him to be good but NOOOOOOOOOOOO

wow.... preeeeeeeeetty.

I had just an everyday beta, but he passed away last year. His name was Guillermo

I have a friend who has taken numerous trips to the orient and has come back with some fantastic wild type bettas. the genus has quite a variety of types found in a variety of habitats from mountain streams to hoof prints of buffalos. In addition to the bubble nesters there mouthbrooders which at one time I bred from some of the stock he had brought back from Java if I remenber correctly. My wife could go on for hours with him about all the different variaties of splendens.
