[Dimidiata]

Just did a few pics with my furry/scaley/finny friends.

Shall we start with the reps?

I have a Bottle brush tree out front covered in orchid bunches, i thought rio might like playing in them(completley supervised and delizarded and spidered).

My usless fish tank decor has found a new home. This is probably her most favorite thing EVER. You wont find her anywhere else. It has a hole in the bottom, back and as you can see, front. Very large on the inside.

The ever lovley Gia

The black suits her(sacraficed my favorite shirt)

Unfortunetly today is shed day for rango(just did this last week, must be growing fast) So heres a pic from after last weeks shed.

Shes so cute.

Now, on to the fins. Just the boys today

elton, being to dang shiny to take a semi decent pic

STOP MOVING!! then again, he is almost blind.

He is a boredom bitter(he bites his fins when hes bored). They are growing back

His copper coloring is changing a bit, hes maturing nicley.

Now to the fur.

My girls, les and jewls. Took grand and reserved grand at fair.

Too tired to stay awake, the poor alpines.

margret, our mix. and pebbles in the BG.

Stripes, our pain in the neck. Completely terrified of civilization

Hoof trimming time

Me and woody(Rip). Our fair steer this year, may his burgers taste good.


Thats all for now folks, maybe rango will let me snap a few tomarrow. BTW, all farm animals belong to our school FFA, we have a decent 38 acres.

Would not let my finger go lol

His new humid hide, its got about 6 more hourse to cure. Used silicon on the leaves, and may use some around the edges of the opening if the tape doesnt work.

I love the goats! Wow, I never have seen a full picture of Rango, she's amazing! SHTCTB?

 

[Dimidiata]

Im not sure what Baldy is exactly so i cant say much there. But she is a SHTCT as far as im aware. Her tail is still filling in, only 5months so theres plenty of time. The goats have to be my favorite animals and i know i will own some when i get older. They just love to love, although les is a bit over protective of me(we have backstory) and wont let the other goats near me too often, i still get about 1hour of play in a day.

 

[LeopardShade]

Baldy is a condition where there are zero head spots present. Trust me, I'm pretty sure Rango is a baldy, and quite a pretty one at that.

 

[Dimidiata]

In that case she has baldy potential, she still has those little black marks left on her head, i bet she will lose them in a few sheds.

I ment to ask you Sam. Is your short-finned betta, the wild type (betta imbellis) or does it just look like one? Did you know that if it is, males can be housed together in a big enough tank? They will flare their gills when they encounter each other but will almost never fight. Kind of like what two female betta splendens do when they meet. BTW, nice other pictures as well. Bob

 

[Dimidiata]

Hate to break it to ya but nope, thats what is called a plakat, more appropriatley a Halfmoonplakat. Plakat is the original betta splenden fin type. Then they were bred long into VT and then into the other fin types, THEN they took Halfmoons and bred them back to plakats to achive a short finned plakat, who quite frankly looks nothing like an imbellis XP to a trained eye, but i understand. I am quite aware of that species though, im am trying to find Betta dimidiata.

Thats a imbellis, and thats it, no color changes. HOWEVER they did breed imbellis to our splended to achive all the diffrent irredesents in our fish. Such as my copper, nero up there. THEN they too the fish with the most irredesence and bred them togather to make dragon scales wich brings us back to my HMPK XD. Fun times, fun times. BTW, most wild bettas including betta splenden are capable of society tanks. Betta splendens isnt even a agressive betta by standard in the wild.

Just going from memory, Sam. Probably been 30 years since I've kept them. The picture quality wasn't sharp enough to see the irredescence of the scales and if the fish were old, sick, or deformed the body structure would be a bit different. A lot of the brilliance would be lost. Bob

Goats are my favourite!
We have pygmys and dwarfs (my grandmother was one if the first people in Canada to breed dwarfs).
The babies kill me, they are very very bad.
