Beautiful indeed, and that red stripe is just the perfect touch. Honestly, I'm not typically drawn to koi bettas, but there's something about him that just caught my eye.

My friend's recent betta purchase got me hooked again - I'm talking two weeks ago, and now I've got Peach, the koi betta. Seeing her little guy made me crave the experience, and Peach here is the biggest betta I've ever had the pleasure of owning.

His behavior's been pretty unique, especially ...

I've got water sprite and it's been a lifesaver for me - I wanted something that could handle the current and surface agitation without making a mess everywhere. It's been growing like crazy in my tank for months and I've had to start throwing some out with every water change. The roots are really ...
