Well, last night I got a betta. A few weeks ago my mom said I could get one and last night I finally had the chance. My dad named him 'Not Sushi' but I think I'll just call him Sushi for short.

I got him a one gallon tank with a filter, bubbler, light, plant, and gravel. He isn't in the tank get because I need to let the water go through the filter for 24 hours.

So far, he can't stop showing off what beautiful fins he has! He is a pretty purple/blue color with HUGE fins. The only reason I picked him is because he didn't look half dead in the little cup they ahd them in.

I feel bad for a bunch of the other bettas, though. There were some way far in the back of the shelf that you couldn't even see! I don't know how they feed them all, let alone take care of them. (which possibly, they don;t)

While we were at Petsmart after buying Sushi my mom saw this girl who worked there walking around with a bird on her shoulder. My mom went to go ask her if it was a conure, since it looked a lot like one, and she said yes! But it isn't for sale yet because of a beak injury. She did say that it will be ok by Christmas. That conure was just as sweet as Tiki, but he did take a little longer to warm up to us.

I'll get pics of him later, but for now I was wondereing if anyone has any info on bettas. I haven't owned one for a few years, I've read up on them online, but any information would be helpful!
