My 1st Betta

First topic message reminder :

Make a long story short the wife and I were in wall mart doing some food shopping and what not. I always have to run by the fish section just to make sure they are taking care of the tank correclty. If not I always notify someone Anywho , We were looking at Bettas and I told my wife I wanted a Betta. She said cool so I let her pick it out. Funny thing is she picked the one I lik most to. So yeah our 1st Betta.

One thing KMX, if you keep your thermostat below 71 or open the windows to cool down overnight - there is the chance of him getting chilled. That's how mine got clamped fins and how Whisper had a mass die-off recently. Males can't handle being chilled very well.

He's very pretty. Would look wonderful with a handful of live plants or moss balls!

LOL right now I wish I coule feel what 71 is. IM in Texas at night the COOLEST is about 81.

Oh yes that reminds me. Put a wide leaf silk plant in for him to rest on. There fins get heavy for them to carry around and occasionally you'll see them resting on a leaf.

Where can I find?

At your LFS.

Have fun with the betta. I finally moved the one we have into the community tank and it looks much happier! Cleaner water and more plants and friends in there.

Yes they do very good in community tanks. Also you can have a sorority of females in community tanks. Of course not the same one that the male is in.

Updated Pic.

He's very pretty. His coloring is called Salamander. So you can name him Sal. See how much you're learning about Bettas. LOL Bet you never thought it would happen.

The wife named him Wally b/c we got him from Wall-Mart

He needs a more sophisticated name. LOL

I agree. LOL

But as I said before I am no bully so I let her do her thing
