Introducing Asterix.

[aly_starh]

ok, so we finally went to the place that had the 4 Fish Shops on the 1 street, but only managed to fine 2 of them.

After recieving Cameo yesterday, i still though i should go and 'see' if the LFS had any bettas!

One didnt have any bettas and the other only had 1 left, the specialise on marine fish, but i was lucky they had a betta left. I cant believe it!

Asterix is in the betta divided tank, and Cameo has been moved to the small 10L tank, he is more active in the smaller tank for some reason. This is good, as the tank has no filter, daily water changes will improve Cameos fins. he will be moved to a suitable tank when his fins have healed. (currently bidding on another 60l)


A few piccies of Asterix, he looks like Spikey, but the Ct version. The piccies dont do him justice...

happy Days!! XD

[Lacuna]

Beautiful My next betta will be a crowntail, but I rarely see ones that lovely in my LFS.

 

[lilacamy931]

He is Le gorgeous!! Your siggy does keep getting longer! Is this is for bettas for now or plans for more

 

[aly_starh]

OMG, i want to buy another tank, but im not allowed, 3 tanks are enough apparently

Yep, the siggy is getting longer.. It will be staying that for some time now

 

[Haych]

you'll find a way we all do lol

for example, sell a smaller tank to buy a bigger one - you still have 3!

 

[finalfantay85]

Brilliant thinking there Haych.....maybe a 9ft one? lol

 

[aly_starh]

I'm really sorry for your loss, he was a beautiful betta. I know what it's like to lose one so soon after you get him. It was probably illness brought on by the stress of moving, or maybe he had an illness from the shop. But sometimes there's not much you can do. RIP.

 

[loraxchick]

how did you acclimate him to his new tank?
he likely was weakened when you got him. so sorry. that's a shame
all the best!

I floated his bag in the tank for 30 minutes then dripped the betta tank water into his bag.
