When hubby went out to get some additional guppies, I tagged along to see if I can find some nice Betta or Siamese fighting fishes to add to my collection. If you are interested, you can click here and here to read about my other fighting fishes.
I was glad I tagged along because I found 2 Betta fishes that I like very much.

Photo #1
The first one is a black and red colour Betta.
Its body is black and the fins are reddish orange.
Photo #2
I first placed it temporary in the small gold fish bowl.
Photo #3
Later, I transferred it to its new home which is a big Horlicks glass bottle.
Photo #4
I love its red fins and tail that look like a long flowing red dress.
Photo #5
The 2nd Betta that I bought is a blue Betta.
Photo #6
This Betta is different from the red and black Betta.
Photo #7
Its home is also a big Horlicks glass bottle.
Photo #8
It is not easy to take snapshots of these Betta fishes because they are always on the move.
Photo #9
Finally, I managed to capture it in its actual colour. It is like a bluish green or turquoise colour. Can you see the white lace-like edging to its fins and tail? Its petticoat is showing!
We saw these glass containers in the dining hall of a hotel.
We think these will make nice homes for my Betta fishes.
Linking to Saturday's Critters.
They worshiped together regularly at the Temple each day,
met in small groups in homes for Communion,
and share their meals with great joy and thankfulness, praising God.

The fighting fishes are beautiful to be seen. Used to have a couple but they died off. Lol.
ReplyDeleteYes, some of mine died too. So sad.
DeleteThey are beautiful. We used to keep a fish tank many years ago, they are so relaxing to watch.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend Diane
Thank you, Diane. Yes, I too enjoy watching them swim around. Have a good weekend too!

Thank you, Vesna. Have a lovely day!
DeleteGreat looking fish, Nancy. When I was a boy a fellow I knew had a huge tank with a wide variety of fish and I could sit for hours watching them. It was both mesmerizing and relaxing. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, David. I too used to have a fish tank with fishes but now no more. Now interested in these Betta fishes. Have a great weekend too!
Delete...what pretty critters.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. Have a beautiful new week!
DeleteBoth fish are spectacular! Such beauties, I would not get tired of looking at them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phong Hong. I could look at them for a long time.
DeleteHello, your two new Betta fish are pretty. Those glass containers would be a perfect home for your fish. I really love the Blue Betta. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen for hosting. Have a happy new week!
DeleteLOL Those are fine containers. Your fish may love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lux. Have a fine new week!
DeleteYour Betta fishes are amazing! It's therapeutic watching them ever so gracefully swivelling around the tank.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Irene. Sometimes I spent far too much time just sitting and watching them swimming around. Have a wonderful new week!
DeleteBettas are beautiful! If i didn't have cats which would consider them sushi, i might get one.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. Ha ha cats and fishes don't make neighbours! Have a great new week!
DeleteThe Siamese Fighting Fish are beautiful, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Have a beautiful new week!
DeleteYour post produces a nostalgic feel because I have reared these fishes and guppies were our choice mostly due to their fewer prices. Same as yours we had the fighters separately in glass bottles… and have seen it hitting other fishes with fins. Sometimes we wontedly leave two fighters in a bottle to see how they fighting. Your pairs are gorgeous, reminding peacocks spreading feathers
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan. We did the same thing when we were youngsters. Love to see them showing off to their opponents. Have a good new week!
DeleteMost beautiful fish. I'm not good with fish. I can do plants, but fish I can't.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend, Nancy. ☺
Thank you, Sandee. I am learning to take care of these fishes. In fact some died. Have a fantastic new week!
DeleteThey are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. Have a beautiful new week!
DeleteIt's sad how they fight!
ReplyDeleteThese are territorial fishes so they ended up with no friends! Have a great new week!
DeleteThey are such beauties
ReplyDeleteThank you, Libby. Yes, they are beautiful fishes. Have a happy new week!
DeleteThey are truly beautiful Nancy :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Denise. They are really beautiful! Have a wonderful new week!
DeleteThey are gorgeous!! The red one is a beautiful color! And the blue one has the most frilly and beautiful fins! Why is it that everyone puts them in very small containers? I see this everywhere. I know if any are together, they will FIGHT!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. If they don't fight then I would love to put them together in one big tank but they are fighters, so I have to place in in individual and smaller containers. I feel bad too. Have a happy new week!
DeleteUnique to me and beautiful fish ~ gorgeous colors and love the petticoat effect ~ not sure the water containers would give them enough air ??? Great photos ~
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol. I think these containers are big enough because some were kept in much smaller ones and they are doing beautifully. Have a great new week!
DeleteHello Nancy!:) They are GORGEOUS!! Their colours are so beautiful, and I love their flowing fins and tail.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Breathtaking. I love them for the same reasons! Have a fantastic new week!
