[purdypinay]

i was wondering if anybody out there can tell me the "color" "tail type" and more if you can about my fish?

 

[JoKeR]

Hello

I would say Veil-Tail and as for the color I say melano but has red wash so... Black-Red....

 

[JoKeR]

Also are u gonna keep them in the kritter keeper for a Long time?

Cause telling by the size of the betta U shouldnt keep one in there..Its too small...

 

[purdypinay]

are you serious? its too small? sorry to your betta pros out there but im new...the pet store told me it would be just fine and big enough

If thats shells in the bottom i would take them out as one will affect ph and two it will rip his fins to shred's if he brushes past them.........

 

[cutecotton]

these are the same petstores that keeps them in a tiny cup! and yes that is a veiltail, but i wouldnt' say it's blackred imo it's more like a steel-red to me.

But anyways if you could, maybe get a 1G for hte betta?

I agree, I think she's blue with red wash.

Never believe petstores when they tell you what a pet needs. All they want is to make a sale.

those kritter keepers come in 4 different sizes, the smallest being 0.5 Gal, if this is the same thing im thinknig of

He's a veiltail and your basic bi-colored blue/red. He's a good looking guy

Don't trust anything the LFS, always check here, Lol. The majority (there are a few exceptions) of employees know didley squat about Bettas and their needs, they're just trying to make a sale. Which kritter keeper is that? The small, medium or large? It looks like either the small or medium going with the height. I use the mediums for some of my Bettas (they hold about 3/4 gallon), but I also do complete water changes every 2 to 3 days (I breed my bettas, so I have alot). For a single pet, you really should think about getting him 2+ gallons, although 1 gallon will do in a pinch. It would give him much more room to swim around and be happy, and give you some room for error with water quality (smaller than a gallon and you have no room for error).

Good luck, I hope you enjoy your new guy
