*DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....*

My newest Betta boy! :D The lady who dropped off my 2 girly bettas has come back with a wonderful neatly coloured boy! :) Hes so handsome. I don't know why she keeps getting more if shes only going to hand them off to somebody else! :confused: :( Well, at least she came to the right person. I guess he came at the right time to, since Flame passed and Lil' Dipper got adopted out to a new home in a 50 gallon(he'll be pleased with that).

Anyways, we're looking for names....he is like a steel blue body with orange front and orange fins. His fins also have a darker orange almost red, dots on them. His colour type would be appreciated as well, I can't figure it out. I don't think hes Mustard Gas.....

Names and colour help would be appreciated! :)

Here are some pics...

His tail is also a bit small, anything you think I could fix him up with?

awww, he's adorable Paula! It looks like he might have a little bit of color loss right now... he's probably been through a lot of stress after being picked up and shipped. he actually looks kinda coppery to me xP he has really pretty coloring, either way. I've never seen an Orange with blue-wash like that! 0.o In the last 2 pics, where he's flaring, it looks like he has a little bit of marbling!! he's like a combo of everything ~_~

Plenty of WC's (2-3 times a week for a 1gal), aquarium salt, and Stresscoat should help! Bettafix or Meracyn II should also help regrowth :) congrats on the new baby boy!

How about Verigo, you know, when you've been flying over a long streach of water and get disoriented and think the plane is spinning? Or Luxor, because he's grand like the Vegas Luxor?

OOO, I like Luxor, but how about different spelling, like Lucksor or Lucsore, LOL, or anything else! :D Like Vegas...;)

How about spelling it Luck-Soar! A Lucky fish to be with you, and Soaring fins as he glides through the water!
