aquarium full of dps at capitol aquarium that took my breath

Post by hadla »

away! this is what made me want a 55g with about 20 of them! I wish I could have taken them all home :smitten:

and... my betta cause she feels a need to show off XD

I am so confused! I could have sworn I bought a female betta... but she made bubblenests? and she flares out at me if I haven't fed her in a few days XD but she needs to lose some of that weight XD I know females can flare, but it usually isn't as impressive as males.

I Want that tank.

Also, Berta looks male but females do make bubblenests, it's rare but happens. My female vt makes them.

Those DP's looks like a bunch of micro-fahaka's...lol.

Now the betta has a beautiful orange/maroon/rusty color to him/her. I always love the solid pure bright red male betta's myself but always seeing awesome colors poping up everywhere I turn around .
