A More Colourful Bella

You may recall me introducing Bella a month ago. She's coloured up a lot since then!

And she's still such an incredibly active fish that it's difficult to even video her, let along capture a still from the video.

To jog your memory here's what she looked like on June 18th.

Meet Bella

This active little girl is "Bella". I found her today at PetsMart. I went out specifically looking for a light coloured betta (easier to see in my tank) that had shorter fins. Although longer finned male bettas can be stunningly beautiful they are weighed down by all that finnage and eventually become very sedentary spending most of their time stuck to the filter intake to rest. I wanted a fish that would be active and fun to watch so I was looking for either a plackat male or some sort of light or colourful female.

I've heard that the female fish are more active in general anyway. This little girl, with her white/clear colouring with red and black spots, may carry the marble gene. If that's the case she could colour up very nicely. We'll see. Anyway, she is definitely fulfilling the "active" requirement.

Selling the Twins

The twins are for sale, together or individually. They are both Fairyland Littlefee Leahs.

I'm asking $250 US, plus shipping for the male. For this little fella I had the Leah sleeping faceplate modded to open eyes and then given a custom faceup by Ban Sidhe.

For the female I'm asking $265 US, plus shipping. She has a custom faceup by Ban Sidhe. Ban also blushed her hands, and I've included one extra and a set of "clasped hands" which are not blushed.

More photos are viewable in my Flickr account.

I'll be putting much of their clothing up for sale in the coming days too. Watch my Flickr account if you are interested.

Edited to add: SOLD! And yay! They were sold together to the same person and she intends to keep their characters as is, at least for now.
