Ok, i'll use this as a kind of introduction as well! Hows it goin everyone, my name is Matt (most people just call me Owen). I'm 21 and am going to be a senior, Marketing major at Iowa State My main hobby is motorsports and I currently ride a Yamaha R6. Anyway, originally I wanted to get a fish to set at my desk at work to keep me sane since i work in the IT department at the Iowa State University Foundation. I write sql code and need somethin to keep me from snappin my keyboard over my knee haha....Anyway, I've read about how badly walmart keeps their fish and bought a Betta last night. Hes gorgeous and i already love him haha. At first i was just going to put him in a half gallon vase so i could keep him there but the more i've been hangin with him the more money i want to spend on him! Hes EXTREMELY energetic and loves swimming around. For the bottom i put the colored glass accents in but i think he can see a reflection in them cause every once in awhile he'll dart at them...as well as the side of the vase! So now that i've fallen for him im going to go over tnite and buy a new tank, maybe a gallon or so and im also getting a small heater to keep him at a nice temp since my apartment is usually kept at 70. I'm also going to pick up something different for the bottom (open to any suggestions) and also some kind of plant, either live or silk...Hes a great fish so i might as well not be an asshole because hes just so good lookin! He flares a TON but im thinkin thats cause he sees his own reflection somehow! Hopefully i can get a pic of him soon! Hopefully tnite! Oh, and the food i've given him tday is BettaMin "tropical medley" so if that will work out nice let me know otherwise let me know what to get! Thanks everyone!
I'm lookin forward to the stay and makin sure my Betta stays healthy as can be!
