New Betta!

So Erin (who escaped under/over/through the divider in my 20g tank over to Livius' side, resulting in a ripped fin and SBD) has now taught herself how to squeeze under the divider. She is now in a small tank all on her lonesome as a punishment. LOL

I used it as an excuse, and went out to buy another male tonight to fill the empty half of the tank... please meet, no name! Right now I am calling him Gimpy as one of his pelvic fins/ventrals is damaged and curled up. You can see it a bit in this first photo.

And here is one of Felix for good measure...

These two are constantly flaring and at the divider. Do you think they'll be okay? I know they won't be able to get through to each other because I piled the stones up against the corners and bottom of the divider, and they are too big to fit through where Erin was going through anyway.

He's absolutely beautiful. I love his coloring in the first pic.

Congratulations for your new addition.

How many bettas do you have now?

I have two males and a female.

He's pretty! If they don't stop constantly flaring, I would either place a tall plant in that area, or even double up on the divider to make it harder to see through.

OoOoOo, "Gimpy" is a very pretty boy, Jessica! ; ) We need pics of all of them, stat.

I make up excuses like that for getting new Bettas, too... we have the same way of rationalizing our addictions. In fact, I have a WHOLE divided 10 gallon open now. I really need 4 Bettas to fill it. And I might as well divide my spare 10 gallon, just for fun. hehe.
