This last guy is my newest. Hes a "Scissor Tail" Betta. Personally I\ve never even heard of them before. Apparently they're rare...so I just had to scoop him up. I love him hes so cute! He is green and red with these two adorable little white spots on the tips of his fins xD He doesnt have a name yet, any suggestions?

Awesome!! I love the setup and names. I used to have two betas

Mitch and Sierra they were cool I loved em!

I'm a sucker for awesome setups. And this is definetly the most interesting I have ever seen.


If it were mine to name I would pick something that starts with a "t" so that you would have 2 T names and 2 G names. Something like Toby or Topiary or Thai. Just a thought

They're really striking I loe the colours (of the tanks and the fish ) for the new guy I'd go with something that is as striking and unique as he is I know my friend suggested a really strange name for a fish something like Titomairiagonsalas a really strange name I know but I like it and for short it could be Tito or something...I'm mad I know and I think that the name wouldn't go well with the others names seeing as it's such a long name

I have heard that your not supposed to let the male bettas see each other because it stresses them out. I don't know this for sure because pet stores have the bowls together. Does anyone know if this is true?

Some exposure to other male bettas can actually be good for them, as it ensures they get exercise and a chance to show off.

But prolonged exposure can have negative effects such as a shorter life span because the fish are stressed out, which leads to a loss of their natural "slime" cover. When fish lose this slime cover they become susceptible to infections and diseases such as ich. Even if they aren't flared up at each other they can still be stressed out as they will be constantly "watching out".

Potentially if there is enough "reflection" in the seperation pieces the fish may not see each other. Just be careful and watch out, make sure your fish don't stop eatting and that the males aren't constantly puffed up (ie. their fins all stretched out and their gills exposed). Also watch out for tiny white spots that are the sign of ich or any other kind of bacteria.

It is a very beautiful set up, and I must give kudos to you.
