forever_and_a_day Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) these guys finally came today after a nervous wait for the postman and more or less unfazed by their trip from Queensland - thank you someone!!! Green Mask HMPK male & female (spawn sibling to the shamrock pair) i'm not really in a habit of naming my fish, but the above green male warrants an exception ^his reaction to the sponge filter after overcoming his initial shyness and this adorable guy who came third in his class in the recent show these guys are absolutely HUGE compared to any normal sized betta i've ever seen will post better (flaring) pics once they've settled in a little more :) Edited September 27, 2012 by MT Syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Congrats on your purchases, you have chosen wisely, that girl can be bred to either male Love the marble boy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_and_a_day Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) thanks jarrod, my favourite is definitely the marble boy, he's absolutely adorable. I choose all of these based on their form because my breeding goal colour-wise is simply to get marbles the girl has stunning form and she'll be bred (hopefully) to the marble boy first ^_^ Edited September 27, 2012 by MT Syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forever_and_a_day Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 ahaha XD thanks guys! @briztoon: it's not the female from the Shamrock pair, it's her sister. the shamrock pair was unfortunately sold before I finally made up my mind to snatch them up - luckily someone had spawn siblings in! Her form is just as amazing, though she has the tiniest bit of red wash through some her fins which i'm not too fond of, but hopefully the marble male has red-loss genes that will be transferred into the kiddies :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The shamrock female had red wash too. I came close to buying that pair, but changed my mind once I saw them in person and saw the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_and_a_day Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 lol, everyone hates on the red wash don't they? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I've got plenty of red wash girls. I am on the hunt for clean irids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever_and_a_day Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 the green boy is quite clean, no red showing through at all - though his 'green' colour is not an even colour all the way through, so there's probably red hiding underneath? (especially since they're spawn siblings?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
