last batch of bettas is finally here! i was only supposed to get 1 male and his spawn sister, but the breeder threw in 2 sisters and a half-sister. the male i got really doesn't seem to be the one pictured in the auction, although the breeder swears up and down that it is. he sent me photos of the male's brothers and said if i preferred any of those, he'd send him to me at no cost to me, but i am just tired of dealing with incoming boxes of fish. the male isn't as pretty as expected, but the females - especially the sisters - are gorgeous. the sisters are incredibly tiny, too. considering how little i paid ($6 fish, $10 shipping), plus i got extra fish, plus i paid for priority shipping, and the seller decided last minute to send via express mail anyway, i guess i can't complain too much. The MaleDefinitely does not look like the fish pictured in the auction. Extremely tiny and cute, though.The SistersThey're just about the teeniest things I've ever seen. Beautiful, though. Shown with some juvie mustard gas plakat pals, who are just starting to get their colors.The Half-SisterBigger than the other girls. Seems to have a nip or two on her fins.

settling in nicely. the boy is so teeny tiny but he's doing his best to keep up with narsil, who is being a total show off. he has not one but two nests, in opposing corners of his tank. the little guy followed suit and now has a small but respectable nest of his own the girls are doing well, and i still cant get over how incredibly small the sisters are. if you look in the photos, there's a shot or two where one of the sisters is in front of a heater. for size reference, that's a 25 watt hagen thermal compact mini. they are TEENY little girls
