I bought my new betta last Saturday, he is called Harry and is a real character. He comes right up to the front of the tank when I go to feed him and almost shows distain if he doesn't think he has had enough food!
I chose him cos he seemed really alert in the shop, a lot of the other fish seemed really lethargic, but Harry was swimming up and down his box, almost saying 'pick me, pick me'
This site was really helpful in making sure I had the right set up & knew what to look for in the LFS.
