you dont think the female betas are ugly?! ACK! All the ones I have seen have been a really pale ugly pink.

Really? humm.. Mine were really small and not so colorful when I bought them, but they've grown and gotten some pretty strong tones of red and blue. The male is prettier of course, no doubt about it. But no, I don't think they are that ugly

I wish the piece of paper on the table didn't end up in the photo, or the scratch on the wall - they're a little distracting. Otherwise, though, I think it's a great setup for a photo. The blue of the fish and gravel against the orange of the wall, and then that barbie head is interesting. When you think about it, that hair would make a pretty decent plant immitation, lol. The play of those colors in the glass is nice too.

And female bettas aren't ugly - they're just brown with shorter fins AND, bettas aren't vicious fish at all. The whole fighting this only stands a chance of happening against another male betta. Really, though, other species of fish attack the bettas, not the other way around. Those big fins would be ripped off in a heartbeat if you stuck a Betta in most community tanks.

The picture is good, but a border and a little photoshopping would make it brilliant. Also, I think the focus is the teeniest bit out...

Oh what a great fish! Our betta died last month after having him for about a year- he was a brilliant red one named Hercules. We are going to get another-- I just love them! He looks so happy with all his happy bubbles at the top of the water too

Nice work here. I really do wish the solid orange wall could be more consistent
You’re working with some bright color contrasts here. I’m also enjoying the synthetic atmosphere. Although I think it looks nothing like the Ani Difranco cover to Little Plastic Castle – it makes me wonder: is the fish continually freaked out by the sunken doll head each time it sees it (because it has no memory?) or would that only be goldfish?

I wonder where's Barbie's sexy and yummy-licious body...


Hmm...

I bet your lil' fishy was too hungry!

Why didn't you feed your fishy?! *laughs*




Just joking!


Love the orange background and the morbid feel of the picture!

I dont think he'd bite off my finger Something I learned when buying him though - the females beta's are really REALLY ugly.

I love that barbie. He needed someone to keep him company... now if only he hadn't eaten the body...
