Thanks, I'll tell my husband, Dan I just love the names he comes up with so I give him the duty of naming He named my betta, Bubble Boy, which I thought was great. He sat down in front of the tank with a pad of paper and a pen and wrote three name sets, but Shimmer and Splat was both of our favorites. The second choice was Rembrandt (sp?) and Picacco.

I had my betta for about 5 months but he developed an incurable illness and I tried so hard to save him but my efforts were exhausted. He just kept getting worse and worse. I did daily water testing, he was treated for every kind of illness from fungus to bacterial, to an infection and he just got more and more ill. I had to do the horrible act of putting him to sleep, per say. I loved him alot. I sobbed hard when I lost him. I just wish he had of died on his own Killing him was so hard, but it was best because he was suffering.

It's silly to some, but I love animals and I am sensetive. All life to me is special, and Bubble Boy was just gorgeous and so friendly.

I just hope these goldfish will do better then Bubble Boy did. They are from good breeding, though. There is a real good goldfish breeder that takes alot of pride in their fish, and these guys seem really healthy. I am reallly trying not to get too attached though, because I sure did love Bubble Boy and losing him just broke my heart.
