Went to lfs today to get some angel fish, barbs, neon tetras and cory cats, to fill some of the other tanks we have. All was fine untill I saw this little almost white and very strippy (stress stripes :() little girl being bullied left, right and center. That was it, she just couldn't stay there. We grab her too and she is now downstairs acclimatising to her new home. She is very stressed, poor little girl but she looks strong and healthy otherwise, so I hope she pulls through over the next few days. I'll get some pictures later when she has chilled out a little. I'll need a name for her, so get thinking! :good:
 
Thanks lilfishie :good:

Well here is a picture of her. I've already named her Ivy. It just sorta came to mind whilst looking at her. Ivy and Bella are doing great together. The corycats love her to pieces lol. Bubbles (on the otherside of the devider) fell in love with her straight away and instantly starting making a new bubblenest :lol: She is still settling in but I am sure in a few days she will be right as rain! Can't wait to see what colour come through!

Aww, such a pretty name. Lovely fish BTW. She's so adorable, I don't blame you.
 
Thanks guys and girls :D

She is coming out more purple/red/blue than the green and blue first shown. Good sign I think :good:
Might have to re-think her name though :lol:

Awww, they are all different, as we know. I guess I just got lucky. We have now gone from stress stripes to breeding stripes lol.

No way I'm putting them together. At least not anytime soon. So they can flirt as much as they like, its not going to happen :p
 
Lucky little girly. Glad you rescued her. scary to know how pet stores treat fish these days :crazy: She looks like my female:) I could imagination why your male has fallen in love with her :drool:
 
:drool: she is so purty...I love the way bettas change colour the more you give them love :hyper: :hyper:
