Congratulations! :D
I, myself, find bettas to be truely wonderful fish to have around (I started out with one, and now I have five^^ and adding a new girl or two this wednesday).
I think Moby Dick is an adorable name! I've only planned the name for one of my fish, the rest I based on their personality.
Good luck with your new fishie!

Thank You Chilli.I love betta fish and have had 2(Shipwreak,and Sam)Both who passed on when i didn't treat the water the people at the pet store forgot :rolleyes: to tell me when i asked about betta fish.I go back and tell them about Sam and they ask did you treat the water?

Thats why I rarely trust most petstore employees around here. :)
With my very first fish, I counted on them to tell me what I needed to know for fish care, and they told me most everything except conditioning the water. I lost those fish due to that mistake. :(
Now, I do all my research before getting ANY animal. They taught me my lesson!
