    I'm joining the betta bandwagon ;) (now with names!)

    I don't have fancy bettas like some of you all do, maybe one day! But, for now, I bought two from Wal Mart. I hate that place, but, I can't seem to stop shopping there for certain things. Blech. Anyway, I got one picture of each fish, and, will take better ones once I get newer aquariums. For now, they are in very basic environments. Nothing great, and, I know they do better in other tanks, but, anything's better than the cups they're in to begin with. No names, yet, as they've only been home for a few hours.

    and, Rush...


    I hope they stick around for awhile.

    Aww there REALLY pretty.

    The second one looks like mine when I first got him before he changed colour.

    I've found bettas as very hearty fish so I'm sure they'll be around for a looong time lol

    Hwy, if mine can survie the daily barage of cats drinking half his water every day, these guys should fare well!

    I love the blue one. I want a blue one, but have no place to put it.

    I think those two guys are gorgeous! Both have very pretty coloring.

    I do have a little soft spot for Bettas and I hate seeing them in little cups that are never changed or cleaned, I am glad you saved him from that horrible place!

    I have some name ideas
    Males: Max, Sam, Dan, Danny, Joey, Keifer, Dakota
    Females: Sally, Magic, Ally, Mya, Merissa, Sparky, Sparkles

    Oh, they're so pretty!

    The second one looks like he might have had some fin damage done. With a bit of aquarium salt and regular water changes, he'll have a full pretty tail in no time!

    Believe it or not

    I bought a betta from petco, we named him Fishstick. He lived 2 years!! He just passed away this past Feb. He was the funniest little fish. Your bettas are beautiful and I hope they have a very long life.

    Thanks everyone, for checking out my newest family members! I will let you know how they are doing from time to time. I'm not good at all with fish pictures, I must have taken thirty before I got anything good. But, I will keep practicing! I do like the way that first one turned out, though, so, hopefully, I can get a great one like that of the blue and red one. hahaha, I'll be naming them soon, too. David suggested Hanz and Franz.
