I only paid $3.99 for this nice pure red veil tail male Betta at PetsMart. Such a deal ! My heart broke when I saw his living conditions. Sitting all droopy and cold in his little cup that sat among a weird multi-cubicle shelf lighted top and bottom with bright LED lights and only three steps from the door blasting him with cold wintry air. He called to me as I walked by , "Oh old fish keeper , merciful and kind , have mercy on a lowly one". I couldn't resist his cries and snatched him up.
Now he lives in a four gallon acrylic Aqueon tank with a nice Amazon Swordplant , his water stays a balmy 82 degrees and he feasts on wingless fruit flies , Grindal worms and freshly hatched brine shrimp. He told me he feels like he won a lottery. My picture doesn't show his splendor as it really appears. Hard to take pictures through acrylic and his fins stand up like billowing sails when he hunts flies. Such an awesome fish.
