Well I did it, I rescued a cup puppy! I was looking at the bettas at every store and just coulden't find even ONE DECENT looking betta, I was starting to think it was all a hoax and you all paid $50 online for your bettas, LOL.
Well today we went to get gecko and snake food at our favorite place (I didn't even want to go, it's a hour drive and I am tired and just feel... not sick, but crummy you know? Well the women do, I duno about the men LOL) I went to keep hubby company and figured I could see what they had in stock out of bordom. I was looking at the bettas and just none of them looked like something I would want to see every day, it was depressing. One was a dull redish brown with raggid fins, although there was a bubble nest in his little cup, he just looked sad. As I went to give up and turn away, I saw them, 2 GEORGIOUS battas!! I wanted them both, but I don't have the room now, so I begged my way into one of them. (Not much hubby could do once they said $3.50 for that georgious fish! LOL)
The one I didn't take was all white besides the bases of the fins which were crimson red, he almost looked like a crown tail on the bottom, but the normal tail. I picked up the solid white one with the most intense iridescence I have ever seen, he was the only one of the bettas that was full finned and happy to show it! He was swimming around in his little cup and there was even a little bit of a bubble nest starting! His fins have a blue/green tint and his tail even has one big blue circle on it. I have a feeling he is going to brighten up quite a bit in his new 5gal setup!
He's simply georgious!
I'll post some pics when I can, but for now I have a question. I was going to put him in the bowl and put my female guppies in the main tank, but when I tested the water, there was no way I was putting him in there! (Which I don't get because I just did a 50% waterchange this morning with Amquel) So I am seeding from my main tank for this 6gal and I was going to use the pantyhose gravel bag method, but I quickly realized it is too late to call anyone and I don't have any! Would it be OK to use a normal sock? LOL
