Newest Addition

[Annastasia]

Well...sadly, I was down to only one Betta Splendens. I know, the horrors. But all my others had been getting up there in age, so I had a pretty big die-off in a 2 month period. That's when I got into Wild Bettas, so I've been concentrating on them lately. I went to my LFS today though, and looked in the Betta section. They had the cutest little ones there today. oh my gosh. So of course, I got back into the Splendens. I've been missing them.

Anyway, here's my newest guy. Only one, because I want to get some from Aquabid eventually. I need naming ideas..my current thought is Rancher, because of blue skies on a ranch and ranch dressing..but I'm open to suggestions.

Acclimating:

Admiring the wooden horse next to the tank:

He's a little cutie, huh?

He's beautiful, I wish my LFS had ones like that!

 

[seanc]

Very cute.. Rancher is quite an original name but along the colouration themed names you could have;

cerulean
azure
cobalt
hydra
kracken
leviathen
Scylla
Charybdis

etc etc. Perhaps not the sort of names you were thinking of but if you want more suggestions on that theme or any other just say n I'll see if I can think of anything.

Thanks you two.

Kara - I'm very spoiled by my LFS. ) They always have in very nice Bettas. Today, amoung others, I saw a yellow rosetai (really tempted, but I wasn't sure if he was a nipped VT, or a rosetail, as the finnage was a little strange)l, white Delta, and some other marbled Deltas. They do mostly Double-tails though. The funny thing is, there is hardly a VT in sight. Not quite what you'd expect...

Sean - Thanks for the suggestions! I really like Azure, Cobalt and Cerulean. You've given me much to think about today.

"That's a pretty rock..."

"Hey look, I fit!"

Sorry for all the bubbles, it's from filling up the tank.

psh wish my LFS had nice bettas...for names...idk...i just call my pets what ever comes to me when i call them hence the name Betta for my betta

 

[Annastasia]

Thanks Ethos and Alix.

I'm currently trying to decide between Rancher and Cerulean. I think I'm going to watch him for a few days, and see which name seems to fit him best.

Awww, what a cute little man

 

[Annastasia]

Thanks Synirr.

I was just wondering something...do you think he'll grow anymore? He's about 2" from head to the end of his tail. Or will he just stay little? That'd be cute...

how about "mini koi" since that's kind of what he looks like.
