We have babies!!!!

This is the tank approximately one week after we set it up and we already have about 10 new babies!! What are we going to do with all these fish?!? Anyone interested??

Voici l'aquarium à peu près une semaine après l'installation et nous avons déjà environ 10 nouveaux bébés!! Qu'est-ce que nous allons faire de toute cette poissecaille?! Y a-t-il des intéressés?

A short video of our bettas fighting

At first, one of our bettas was scared to death of the other one. Every time we put them together, Scaredy Cat would show his stripes and turn his back on the other fish and eventually go sit silently at the bottom of his vase, back still turned. The guy at the pet store had told F that this was an unusually aggressive fish, even going so far as to put a bowl with another betta in it in the tank to show how feisty he was. Sadly, his bravado seemed to have been left back in the pet store tank, much to our dismay.

But after a period of solitary repose, Scaredy Cat found anew his mojo! Here you can see them going after each other.
