I stole a betta!

[dixaisy930]

My dearest, oldest betta, Dogma, passed away yesterday I'm just heartbroken over the little guy...my very first betta, and (sshhh, don't tell the others) my favorite. He was a very hansome, black betta. I wanted to find another black (as hard as I knew that would be without going to an actual breeder), but I wanted it to look "different". Anyway, I popped into PetsMart (just to look) and lo and behold I found Peckle. Someone had to have "hid" him for later...he was in the back of "Betta Water" bottles and Azoo tanks. He's very dark blue (basically black) body with a little lighter blue fins with black speckles all over his fins.

And while I was feeding Simon (my teal/white betta) he was staring straight up at me, and then jumped out of the water. It was like watching a tiny SeaWorld show from above.

I'm sorry for your loss

Happy you found another with coloration you wanted so soon

and thats too funny about him jumping out! (Hopefully he made it back in the water safely?)

Yes he did.. He's in one of those Lee's Kritter Keepers. I just had the clear part of the lid open (and his aim isn't all that good) lol

I always look behind stuff and way in the back for the 'stashed bettas'...People think they're sooooooo sneaky.

Hi dixaisy930

I'm so sorry to learn about Dogma's passing. I will miss hearing about him.

But, I'm happy to hear that a new little betta has found his happy home with you. It's lucky for him that you were poking around and found him!
