Hello?
Is anyone still here? Looks like the most recent post was made in 2012. I hope joining and posting here isn't a faux pas like thread necromancy on forums.
Anyway, I have a planted 30 gallon full of ramshorns and nothing else at the moment, which is a recent upgrade from a planted 2.5 gallon full of ramshorns and nothing else, because I'm a dork who likes snails. I used to keep cory cats, bettas, and goldfish, in addition to many other snails, and I may yet do so again. (Aside from the goldfish. I am done with goldfish. They're wonderful fish, but I no longer have the space or the energy.) Hi.

I totally forgot I had this comm on my reading list, but it's good to see a post pop up! (And your username is great - very apropos!)
I miss having bettas, but currently have enough pets to keep me busy without cleaning tanks and hauling water. Maybe when the youngest cat is older and less curious, I'll think about adding a fish to the house again. :D

Fun to look at other peoples' aquatic pets in the meantime, right? What sorts of bettas did you use to have? I mostly adopted from people who couldn't keep theirs, so I had a lot of typical blue and red veiltails, but those are still cool fish. I had a friend in college who was a breeder though, and she had all kinds of fancy bettas.

I had a crowntail betta once, and one female, but mostly I had plain old veiltails, usually blue. (If I ever get fabulously wealthy, I'd set myself up as a betta breeder producing blue-and-teal-with-black-heads bettas, because it's my absolute favourite combo. I always try to pick out the bluest ones with the least red in the fins and the darkest faces!)
That doesn't stop me from going on AquaBid and browsing fantastic fancy bettas I'll never own, though. :D (Check this guy out! And this one! Or this fellow!)
