Now from my second shop which happens to be my LFS they actually asked me to take a very poorly boy off them, he's been stripped of all his fins and frankly looks to be at deaths door, so of course i took him lol, his body is a nice average blue with a black mask so nothing special but after a good few months he should be looking like a betta(ish) again.

I have now christened him Brom

Here he is in his bag, his poor fins

It was also wjilst i was there that i was offered a job! !! Of course i immediately accepted and i am going in for a 4hour tester day on tuesday at 1 o clock

I AM SO EXCITED!!!


Update: My little girl has eaten 2 pellets already

Grats on the job! I've been thinking of asking my lfs if they have any going but I'm worried I dont know enough...

 

[Forestpisces]

I'm actually not that experienced i just spend alot of time here, the only tropical fish i have ever kept have been Bettas and kuhli loaches

But they really need help and they've read some of my posts and my CV so asked me right away haha, they just said be prepared for dirty work (which i don't mind in the least )

 

[jasminekiddell]

Thats great forestpisces!
Congrats, I LOVE getting new fish if i have the room for it.

 

[Loops]

Awww well done to you !!

Really pleased for ya x

 

[Forestpisces]

hehe i've got my first girl too, i set out for 2 boys but oh well i was planning a sorority anyway she can be the start, she's in her own 12litre acclimating at the moment, very active little thing,

I'll let you guys choose between nelly or nessi for her name when you see her

The poor new guy is in a terrible state just needs some peace and quiet.

 

[Forestpisces]

Uploadong pics as we speak

Poor nessi is very stress stripy, i think she's confused as she's on her own and a 12litre tank to her tiny tiny self may seem a little overwhelming, maybe she's used to being in a group.

The new guy is slowly investigating his tank, i may well name him Mr Creazle

 

[lilacamy931]

LOL love the name suggestions already, can't wait to see pics!

CONGRATS!!!!!!! That is absolutely awesome, let us know how the Tuesday slot goes, all the best, I am sure you are going to be perfect!

 

[Forestpisces]

I honistly cannot wait, it's my favourite fish shop and only LFS, They take good care of there fish and give sound advise too.

I'll love every minuit i'm sure lol no matter how hard the work is (i'm the type that likes to be kept buisy)

And it means i get to see pretty bettas all day haha and see new stock. I'll end up with a million tanks haha.

 

[lilacamy931]

Can you be my dealer? LOL ! Give me a betta fix

 

[Forestpisces]

Pics now added

 

[anusingh88]

OMG your girl is so beautiful! I love her colours! I'm sure your boy will get through this, and look as pretty like he was before, and then we can drool all over his pics

 

[Galanta]

WOW and double WOW!!!!

1) That girl is GORGEOUS!

2) BEAUTIFUL tanks - especially his!

3) You working in LFS? That's AWESOME news! Here's to a whole store full of fish, which will never need to be "rescued"!

Soo happy for you!!!

Keep us updated.

 

[Forestpisces]

The big boy has a rough road ahead but i will do my upmost for him i dunno what to call him
