As some of you may know, my dad is in town for the fair, and we were planning on setting up a fish tank at his house. He's going to take care of it for me and put up a webcam so I can see my fishy all the time. We decided to go to Petsmart together and pick out our betta! It was surreal, after a year and a few months of researching and reading about everyone else's bettas and pretending to pick one out every time I'm at Petsmart, we actually bought one! We just got the Marina neon green 1/2 gal starter kit and Hikari Bio gold pellets for at the hotel, we're going to get him ready for shipping in a couple days and my dad will drive back to Ames with him.
I picked a brown guy with some blue and pretty orange in his fins. We almost got one that was a bright red butterfly/cambo-ish one. White body, pure red fins, clear fin tips. The red ends jaggedy and a few centemeters of clear followed. This little brown guy just won my heart though! He's happily adjusted to the 1/2 gal right now. When my dad gets home he'll make the transition to a 10 gal, light filter, plants, and we'll try 2 or 3 albino dwarf corries.
On to HIM. His eyes are both half blue and half red. I've named him Fusion because we went to a restaurant called Dr. Zushi, a Fusion of Cuisines, or something like that, and I thought it sounded cool. He was going to be Curry, but Fusion fit better. I LOVE fis colors, but I bet he'll brighten up with time.
PICS!!!
I get a couple more days to be with him, then I'll only see him on the webcam and a few times a year in person.

Congratulations! I think your dad must love you a lot to do all of this for you and Fusion! Hope both of you will enjoy him a lot.
