Description Sucks that the focus is a little off.. but I still like how the colours turned out

A recent obsession of mine is betta fish I currently have 4 males and 3 females ... hopefully tomorrow I cant get more


This is my beautiful HM boy, I believe he is steel blue.. and oh so pretty Im trying to hunt down a suitable female to pair him up with


Also, I love my new camera Its a Nikon D60, and takes epic pictures, so far, mostly of my dogs and fishies


If youd like to see more pictures Ive taken, please have a look at my photography account *HymnsPhotography *shameless self promotion*

Id be so extremely happy if you would have a look

Steel blue is one of my fave betta colours, I admit though I was a lil disappointed when he turned out to be a marble, but it certainly made him more interesting Thanks

I have one very similar to him, only a little bit of a darker blue and very shimmery, and he has red pelvic fins. x3

Omg he is a gorgeous color. I breed pure blue, multicolored (red and white, red white and dark blue, etc.) and white bettas. He looks like a steel blue guy.

Oooh I love steel blue bettas, I recently bought one, myself
He's a beautiful boy! Very nice capture! I like that it's more focused on his fins rather than his face.
Mind if I ask how you got this shot? I try to take photos of mine but they never stay still xD

Hymnsie In reply to Hathien603 [2010-05-21 10:34:23 +0000 UTC]

Blues ftw!
I took many many many many maaaaany pictures And I use a Nikon camera, which takes much nicer, clearer shots that my average camera does

Hathien603 In reply to Hymnsie [2010-05-21 18:54:23 +0000 UTC]

Ahh ok. The nice camera is probably what's doing me in I have a little olympus that I got on sale x) Oh well, I'll just take lots and lots of pictures, thanks again for the info!

Hymnsie In reply to Hathien603 [2010-05-22 09:10:08 +0000 UTC]

You can still get nice shots with it though, perhaps get a small 'photo tank' and mirror and take it with your fish outside to take some photos, natural light is best, and the mirror will make your betta flare nicely

Hathien603 In reply to Hymnsie [2010-05-22 16:46:57 +0000 UTC]

Oooh good idea! I have a few small tanks laying around. Not sure about the flaring though, he doesn't seem to flare at anything from what I've noticed....which is funny because at the pet store he was flaring at all the other fish around him But yes, I shall try that for sure! Thanks for the info yet again x)

Hymnsie In reply to Hathien603 [2010-05-24 01:14:23 +0000 UTC]

I guess thats where having 2 or more betas help As they usually flare at another betta if not at a mirror.. but keep trying, but dont have a mirror near him for too long, 20minutes is enough.. or else he might just ignore it

Hathien603 In reply to Hymnsie [2010-05-25 23:47:20 +0000 UTC]

Lol no kidding, they're so funny to watch around other bettas I used to show mine to each other a lot when I had two. x)
