    These are the gorgeous female Bettas that I bought at AquaShella. Betta sorority did not work out, so I kept one and rehomed the rest. I don't suggest trying a sorority. It broke my heart that they just couldn't get along.

    Thanks sincerely for all the warm Welcomes! 😊 I'm from the DFW area and happy to see fellow Texans on here (plus the folks from everywhere else). This is an active forum (my first one) and I anticipate great entertainment and adding to my on-going knowledge of our fine hobby.

    I had a wonderful time at AquaShella 2021. I bought plants, Bettas and a couple of products. It was Halloween costume themed. They held my fish for me and when I was ready to leave, they helped me to my car. Quite fun!

    I'll attend my 2nd AquaShella in Dallas next month. My 1st show was October 2021. Here’s me with Jason.

    My 1st day on the forum so I hate to chime in, but, I recently lost my beloved male Betta, Sparky. Here's his story so you can compare. I used 3 meds, first Melafix, then week 2, I used Metroplex and lastly, Kanaplex. Kanaplex has always cured fin rot for me, but I didn't know exactly what was wrong with my fish. He continued to eat the whole time, but that was the only time he moved at all. After one month with no improvement, I decided it was time. He just stayed in one corner, at the top, and rarely moved. I could tell he felt really bad. I used the clove oil method and he passed peacefully. I would never suggest euthanasia. It's a hard thing to do and he's your baby. I considered my Betta's condition for a good while but finally did what I thought was best for him. Your fish looks pretty bad. Have you treated for fungus? I hope you will find someone who is familiar with his condition and that they can help you. Bless your heart, we try so hard for our finned friends, but there are circumstances beyond our control.

    Thanks! I'm struggling a little with using the forum but it should be easier in a few days. I love Bettas!

    I made the mistake of trying a female Betta sorority. I bought 6 females at AquaShella, October 2021. I had to re-home all but one because they just couldn't get along. Blue is still with me and doing well.

    I'm excited to join my very first forum. Most of you are probably too young to remember "Flipper" the Bottlenose Dolphin from TV, but I chose her for my forum name. I have a 20 gallon with Blue, my female betta, 4 Harlequin Rasboras, 3 Rummy-Nose Tetras and Bashful, my dwarf Clown Pleco. My 8 gallon is under construction after losing my male Betta to disease. I started from scratch and the tank is now cycling. I'm a middle-aged lady, retired and loving life. I've been in the hobby about 5 years and look forward to sharing with all of you. I love my fish and this hobby. Happy to be here!
