Welcome to Gaia! ::

I took some pictures today after finally finding my camera. At first I was just going to take pictures of my new Giant Betta Tetsu. After Rojo wanted in on the action, I decided to just go ahead and take some pics of everyone.

This is Tetsu. He is a male multicolored Giant Plakat Betta. I couldn't get any pics that really do him justice for his coloring, but I find them cute just the same. I had to put him in his holding tank to get any pics, because he just kept hiding. Poor little guy was pissed. Once he's more comfortable I'll post pics of him being happy in his tank.

Tetsu Hiding:



In his tank, running away:
Note: The cup in the background serves as a wall to help calm the current from the new filter. I upgraded because he is so much bigger than Sonoka was in this tank. That cup he came in was way to small. He could hardly turn around in it.



Tetsu after gong into his holding tank:



Tetsu with a ruler behind him:
Note: He was really pissed....Poor little guy. I shined the lite on him like this only so I could see the ruler behind him. After this picture, I put him back in his tank.

Last but defiantly not least is Mr. Moto. My red multicolored crown-tail. As most of you know he had a bacterial infection recently and is still recovering a bit. Unfortunately, since then he's been showing definite signs of swim bladder disorder. He has his good days where you can't even tell and others, like today, where he's stuck to floating towards the top of the tank. Other than this and me trying to get him to stop eating his poop, he seems to be doing a lot better. This is the best picture I could get of him today. ^_^
