Some Background

I was in a Nasty Car Crash a Few months Ago, And Could not afford to Have it fixed @ the Time.

A New Guy started in Our Team @ Work. He Has Been Doing Up cars since he was 12 with his dad and on his own for nearly 5 Years.
I talked him into fixing My Car, and he is able to fix it for a Fraction of what Ford and Some of Dads Freinds Wanted.
He is Saving me £700.00 Pounds and Its Exactly what Ford were gonna Do and My Dads Friends garages.
He Gets Huge Discounts thru his Dad, who had his own Repair Garage for Years.

Well As a Thankyou
I took him to My LFS @ Lunch.
I bought him A Lovely Red White Copper Butterfly Veiltail. It has a Lovely Dusty Pink Metallic to it. with Maroon Butterfly Patterns.
And a Juvie RoundTail Blue/Green - was in the Female Tank.

Since he has my Car He Took me back to My Place and I gave him a Couple of Bowls - Standard Plastic Goldfish Bowls 1 Gallon.
Some Caves, Plants and Blue Glass Marbles to Match his Room.
Went back to his - Set them Both Up
He is well Chuffed - He is Gonna Show them off to his Missus Later tonight once they Settle In.
He was saying how He likes watching them Both Color Up. And that the Red/White mettalic Butterfly is Really Changing Color.

The Juvie Blue/Green Is Very Spunky, they are next to each other and the Juvie ia about a 1/5 the Size of the Butterfly and he was Flaring Like Crazy and Dancing.

I've Spread the Bug to another Person, Who is Likely To get Addicted to them. I showed him Copper and Dragon and he was Amazed @ all the Different Colors in Coppers Scales, Iv'e Counted 10 Colors now.
He Already Wants a PK or A Halfmoon.
 
another addict on te way! (I love the betta in your sig. y the way!)(you probably hear this a lot :D )
 
ha ha! :D my cousin got my addicted when i was 8 an after my favorite betta died i gave him the rest(was 5) an quit till jus a week ago when i saw a kid in walmart twirling a betta around in a cup. i bought him :D now im 16 an my gf says i like my fish more then her.
 
Thanks Guys.

I do have Another Small Tank Tucked away in the Garage. I am Thinking about Dividing that For him, Using those Plastic Dividers So he can save a Little Space and then Have 2 Bowls Spare. For you know - spotting another Lovely Betta.

I'll Make it this week and Get Some Colored Gravel that will Compliment there Colors.

A couple of Peppered Cories and Ottos will Make them Look Lovely. I'll Plant it for him Aswell Using the Fair Moss from the Pond - It sure does Grow Fast Outdoors. AS do the Water lettuces, Loads of Runners from them.

I'll Post a Pic of them Both When I suprise him with the Tank on Friday.

I Can;t Repay Him Enough for how much money he has Saved Me.

Narinder(wife) Made him so Home Cooked Punjabi Potatoe Parathas and Sweets.

:angry: :grr: I know hat you Mean About little brothers and Fighters. I have told him to watch his little Brother as he is a "Gimp".
Mine has done something similiar - but he gets bored of my Hobbies Quickly.


Back on topic.

I really Really like the Dividers Alexsdaddy made in his thread. But for time's sake I will Use the Report Binders method. I already have all the supplies Precut - But never used them. Just grab the silicone and gun and Glue it all together.
 
Right I've started his tank last night.
Siliconed in all the report binders and cut the UGF mesh to size - Very Good and Thick.

I made 3 Sections and Also Given him a Small Filter and 25watt Heater for the Tank.
Gonna Get him Gravel and Plants today After I finish Work.

I Will Post Pix of it Set up.

So You can see the Pink Betta
