White Whale
Granola bar gone bad....
It's been a while since I posted. Maybe a year or so until I got the betta-bug back. I went to Win Aquariums in Chinatown and was looking for a red HM. Man, did they have them! So I was deciding between 3 of them. However, I noticed a "shimmer" out of the corner of my eye. It was a copper double-tail with some color on the fins depending on the angle. What a dilemma... I finally found a red I was looking for and come across a rare copper (at least rare whenever i check around) and double-tail to boot.
So I went with the double-tail. His tank is sorta plain - just sand and a piece of driftwood. But I don't want to risk anything that might rip his finnage.
It's day 2 in his tank and he mostly spends it floating in the corner opposite that of the filter with some "sprints" to the other side of the tank and back.
I hope to have some pictures up by the weekend.
BTW: Petco now knows the 'difference' between tail types and has jacked the price up accordingly. Also, they FINALLY differentiated between females and short-tailed males. And in order to make the short-finned male attractive, they've dubbed it the 'King Betta'.
