Got a new friend today!...

Let's just say I didn't put up much of a fight when Mrs Matt suggested the idea in my LFS earlier.

Tank was set up whilst she temperature acclimated in my big tank! Bit impulsive perhaps but it's something I've researched before....

Anyway... this is Greta

Greta is a lovely looking fish.

fcmf · « **Reply #2 on:** June 09, 2019, 05:41:27 PM »

Greta is indeed beautiful

, and I can absolutely see why no fight was put up against Mrs Matt's sensible suggestion of homing her.

Looking forward to reading more about her in due course.

Matt · « **Reply #3 on:** June 09, 2019, 08:57:02 PM »

Here is her tank...

fcmf · « **Reply #4 on:** June 09, 2019, 09:40:10 PM »

What a lucky betta / https://www.thinkfish.co.uk/fish/siamese-fighting-fish-female.html to have such a beautiful home but she does deserve it given what a beauty she is.

[Argh - you're turning me fish-broody again!]

Thanks v much @fcmf

Anyone else want to show off their Betta's?

Arty tank shot

The tanks looks great.

Every time I look at Greta I think of the betta I reserved at the local MA previously, which unfortunately died before I collected him. He was a koi plakat, and had he survived I think he would have made lovely looking babies with Greta.

Oh dear... lets not start a Betta breeding programme!

@Fishbeard Has a Betta (albeit poorly at the moment) gorgeous looking fishes!

LeakysLab · « **Reply #10 on:** September 16, 2019, 06:27:35 PM »

Blimey

she is beautiful

I would like a Betta, where did you get her from?

Matt · « **Reply #11 on:** September 16, 2019, 08:10:47 PM »

Now she's settled in her colours are outstanding... I'll have to try and get an up to date photo soon... i got her from Maidenhead Aquatics. They sold out quick and I got her by asking if the tank of female Betta's was on sale (despite it clearly saying they weren't!) They said no then came back to me a few mins to say the manager had said they could sell them now bit that they were all reserved sorry. Then another few mins later, they realised not all were reserved and said I could have first pick!...

LeakysLab · « **Reply #12 on:** September 16, 2019, 08:33:27 PM »

Yes please do, ok thanks for letting me know. Do you intend to breed her?

Matt · « **Reply #13 on:** September 16, 2019, 08:36:35 PM »

Set a reminder for this and for fcmf to get requested photos in the morning

I don't plan to breed her, with my 13 week old son, I am probably more likely to downsize than upside things!... it is a nice idea though... I have the perfect spot for another tank of the same dimensions next to the existing one... oh dear I will log off now!

Matt · « **Reply #14 on:** September 17, 2019, 11:12:38 AM »

Not my best photo but it shows the blue Iridescence I wanted to show you...

@fcmf light box was in the loft... I'll try later on for you!

fcmf · « **Reply #15 on:** September 17, 2019, 04:36:17 PM »

Wow, stunning!

daveyng · « **Reply #16 on:** September 17, 2019, 05:00:05 PM »

Lovely looking fish.

Littlefish · « **Reply #17 on:** September 17, 2019, 06:24:54 PM »

Greta's colours have developed to be completely stunning.

LeakysLab · « **Reply #18 on:** September 17, 2019, 06:43:23 PM »

She is simply stunning

Matt · « **Reply #19 on:** September 17, 2019, 07:41:56 PM »

Thanks everyone... the tank she's in is not doing so well after I stupidly managed to squeeze the sponge filter whilst in the tank and released a load of crud... it's a bit of a bodge job affair built from spares... I might have to get a hang on back or I might have to see how she does in my community tank... too many tanks and not enough time!! Fortunately it doesn't show in the photo
