Hello?

[molluscsandmonsters]

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.

Definitely! I can enjoy other people's fish and dream about having more someday.

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!)

oooo, those are some excellent bettas. My favorite patterns are probably... deep or steel blue with black heads, teal dragonscales with red or black fins, and koi patterns, and I like the short tails on plakats (and female bettas). Much to my former betta breeding friend's chagrin, I'm also genuinely a fan of blue with flashes of red on the fins. I don't think there are any betta patterns I dislike, to be honest.
