I bought a betta boy yesterday...tho with my heart in the right spot, I chickened out. There was a person in the fish section *for once :blink: * but I was so worked up over trying, that it pretty much backfired. :/ I wrote BettaMomma, and will also, myself, call that Walmart. The bettas weren't in TOO bad of shape, but there was a boy who had been mauled up *but his fins were healing* so much that he looked like a female! :crazy: I pucked up the cup to look and check for sure. I didn't look at any other fish but the goldfish, which is the only other fish I've ever bought. In the Oranda/Bubble-eye tank an Oranda had mouth fungus, and another had such bad swimbladder problems he was floating on his side. I thought he was dead, but his eyes moved to prove otherwise.
I didn't like how they had 'baby pond koi' with the 'fancytail' goldfish...I hope the lil' fish were getting food. :X
The other thing was that the manager came over and asked the dimwit if the fish were still alive! I was p.o'ed....I wanted to lay some 'smack-down' but I wussed out. :X I did have one last word when I left, but not sure if the lady heard it or not, but when I walked away, I said 'I hope your fish live'...Bill was like wtf? I'm like 'ok, how many goldfish did I go though?' I shall now introduce Fabio...*drumroll*

Fabio a.k.a. Mr. Supermodel

The neighbors...as you can see not a lot of room. I did want to get another MiniBow, but at this point I can't...when I move back to the parents I will! I'll add more plants to his, and remove the cave I think. ;)

Good morning!

And a Fatima shot I had to show....

Story...she pooped on the base of her plant *I have found out she likes to poop on things she likes...like her cave...and when I first moved her into her home, first thing she did was poop. Anyho, the lil' dorkette thought it was food...and continued to try and nab it after I fed her! She'd sneek up on it, look at it, look at me, then dart at it. I tried to take a picture, but she was too modest. You can see the lil' poo on the base if you look hard :wub: She's a doll
 
Thank you :D
I wasn't sure who to get, but when I picked him up, he was all excited and stuff...all he does half the time is flareflareflare. He did get some sleep last night tho. :p Not sure if Fatima has really noticed him tho, lol. He, I know hasn't really noticed her. :wub: They're quite a pair.

I'll put one more picture up as the shots I put up don't really have him on a good side view.

There. :)
 
Very pretty. He reminds me of my Tuggs who I also got from a walmart. Maybe there related! :D

Here a pic of Tuggs just so you can see hoe they look alike!

Mariah-maybe! There was another betta boy that was similar coloring, but had more marbeling...a purple color. I almost got him...but I dunno...Fabio just was looking at me and saying 'ok...I'm cute, buy me.' lol
 
Beautiful fish, and I love the name :lol:
 
he is a very pretty fish! Good for you!
 
mm_simb-Thank you :) I like his coloring too...almost like an opal. I love opals.

wrs-Thanks :D I think he's liking his home...quite flare-y tho...but has eaten his hikari bites. :) He's warming up methinks.

cynqueen-I'm still not fully sure on the different color combos. ;) so I couldn't really tell ya. :) I'll say he's an opal betta, lol :D

Synirr-Thanks :D I picked Fabio to go with Fatima...just thought it would sound cute...his nickname is Mr. Supermodel. :whistle: He struts his stuff like mad :wub:

Kiarra-Thank you! :)
