hee hee new fishie!!!

I was at the LFS today ... just to buy 4 more otos ... that was all ... I swear... yeah right
Sooo he was just hanging there in a barrak the next tank over. at first sight.
Well its not entirely an impulse buy as I have 2 completely empty small tanks already set up and running. At least I didnt come home with 3 or 4.
Ive named him Poseidon, my bettas so far have been named for gods.. the late neptune, my first, and Mars.
His head is black and his body and fins are the color of worn denim with a splash of red on his ventral fins. Actually on his anal fin there is a pattern of tiny back dots ... interesting looking... I hope that is natural and not something wrong with him

Anyway... I hope he is OK ... I tried giving him a pellet and he spat it back out. I'll try some froz. bloodworm tomorrow. His fins are a bit tattered on the ends and he could probly use some meds... I have a bit of salt in there already.

I'll post pics as soon as husband gets home to upload them

I'll wait for the pics.

Why do you go from Roman gods to Greek?

The "black dots" are normal, nothing to worry about. If you want to know more specifically what they are, look here.

I dunno ... not attached to one nationality of god I guess

This new one reminded me so much of my first one, neptune, I wanted to name him the same but I thought that might be bad luck.. so I switched to the Greek

Good name and he sounds lovely, can't wait to see pics

These are the first pictures that I took, uploaded amd cropped all by myself

Hey who's that pretty blue boy in the mirror!

not the best pic ... kind of dark ... anyway

You can see where his fins are a bit ratty on the ends ... I hope that'll clear up soon
