My new Betta boy & Rudi *RIP Keenan 15/7/08*

I bought home a new Betta boy from work today, his colouring was too pretty to resist ;). He still has no name so suggestions are welcome.

I set the new boy up next to Rudi (my red/ purple Betta). Rudi has been acting the big tough man all evening flaring and darting around, no name has been ignoring him LOL.

Hi Mum!!

No flash to show his colouring a little better, he has a few holes in his tail but they should heal up ok.

More to come...

And all the girls i keep rescuing from work, out of the budget/ feeder tank.

Thanks for looking.

Rudi and the new boy are so handsome. Oh how much torture it must be to work at a place that sells them... and you get the first picl from anyone else! I think I'd have more than 20 within a week. :eek:

He's handsome Rhi! Maybe Riley? Just a thought.;) All of your fish are pretty, good thing I don't work in a place they sell fish.:D

Gorgeous fish!
I love how thick Rudi looks... he is such a studly guy. =D

Oh that guy's one of my favorite colors, he's so pretty with the flecks of color in his fins.

Thanks everyone :). The new guy now has a name... Keenan, he has settled in beautifully and is such a friendly boy.

LOL yep it is hard being around all the gorgeous fish at work, but i know i cannot bring them all home and have to resist looking at the Betta's most days unless feeding/ cleaning them (although sometimes i have to spend time 'talking' to them).

Congratulations Rhi :) and hello there Keenan from across the pond!

Rudi's tail seems shorter, he looks more like a super delta than a VeilTail in that picture.

love your girls as well. are they all Mollies?

Poor Keenan looks like he has a tumour :(. But he is still a happy boy at the moment, is eating well (too well if i let him, the piggy). I moved him into his new tank today.

The new tank. It was one of our diplay tanks at work, i scored it for $50 with all contents including heater and small filter. It had a metalic brown gravel in it at work, but i changed it to the multi coloured stuff. I think it looks pretty good.

Keenan checking out his new house yesterday afternoon.

The orange girls & one orange boy are Sword Tails, and the rest are Mollies :).

I'm sorry to hear about Keenan.. poor guy.. at-least he is still getting along just fine.
The "new" tank looks great. :]

Sadly Keenan went down hill pretty quickly yesterday and despite medicating him he passed away about an hour ago :(. The poor little dude.

RIP mate, i am sorry we did not have more time together.

I am sorry too hear about him he was a lovely guy.

I'm sorry that you lost Keenan, Rhi :(

Thank you both, it was very sad to lose the little guy... he was so friendly.
