I got bit by the Betta bug!

[Ruby Shark]

I got my first Betta today! Well maybe not my first...I had one when I was really young. Anyway after a few months of viewing everyones wonderful betta pictures and reading up on them I couldn't resist any longer. I'm so excited. He is purple blue and red and I've decided to call him Willy.
I just had to share the news.

Expensive ones? lol I thought they all cost around the same price. I really like the ones that both Sorrell and Treefrog have(I can't reacall the name) but I can't find them anywhere.

The ones at my lfs all look the same...just different colours. But I love him just the same.

[Ruby Shark]

I didn't want to make a separate thread but I thought that I would let everyone know that he didn't make it.

 

[steppy104]

aww...thats terrible...do you know what happened?

 

[Ruby Shark]

I have no idea. He started looking lethargic yesterday and I noticed that his colours were starting to fade. But even when I got him last week he didn't flare or streatch out his fins at all. Maybe he was sick the whole time?

 

[rykitten]

Yea, that's likely Ruby. It happens

Are you going to try again? If so, make sure you pick a spunky one!
