:OO :LOL: :OO :WOU :WOU We're working on it, we're working on it!!! :OO
We're trying our best to get descent pics of them ... some of them are just really uncooperative when it comes to posing for pictures :rolleyes:
I wish now we'd gotten pics of them at the auction before they were bagged, LOL!!!
I promise though, we are working really hard on getting pics, editting them, uploading them, and then we'll get them posted :Y
We've got some truly awewsome stock to breed from now! Now I just gotta' get rid of all of our VT stock so I can free up our tanks to raise these "Show Bettas" in.
We also got in a pair of Red Dragons, two more awesome CT's, and another HM female today! Talk about a variety of Bettas ... I love it!!! OH, and my wife didn't even like the Wild Types (which I've been saying all along I wanted to get some of), but now, she's hooked on them as well, LOL!!!
Gonna' be a pretty busy winter here, breeding & preparing for showing next Spring!!!

I can't wait to see these two:
"A Pie Face Turq Monster (breeder Jay Jeetzold) Didn't place because the mask didn't complete, but judges said everything else was Great!!
A female HM (breeder Ruth Masciarelli) Auction Only parents from Thailand Royal Blue BF mom and Royal BLue SD Dad"
They sound like my kind of bettas. :)

Thanks everyone, he was my favorite!!
The green monster is in the spawning tank now with the female pictured beside him, may have eggs by morning :WOU :Y

I remember many of those fish from the show. Especially the pie faced monster. I thought he was a very stricking fish! Lucky for your pocket book we had an eight hour dive back to New Orleans and I couldn't stay for the auction! :lolo:
Congrats on the spawn!!!!!
:clap

I meant drive back to New Orleans, but I guess dive would work too!!!

Ani, when we get some fry, you can get some of them if you like them, I hoping for some that look like daddy, he is so awesome :wub: He has a huge bubblenest and the female doesn't seem to be interested. She would rather drop her eggs pick them up and place them in her own nest :blink: ;) They are not mean to each other though so I'm leaving them in the spawning tank :prayers for fry!!!
