Hi everyone! Just wanted to give an intro since I'm brand-new to the forum. I've been keeping bettas ever since freshman year of college, which is 7 years by now, and I get SO upset when friends tell me "I don't know why you love that thing so much... it's just a fish." Breaks my heart every time, since all my boys have had very unique personalities.
I own a male crowntail named Prince Vincenzo (see my userpic

), and yes, he's the only royalty I've ever known.
So happy I found this site, and well on my way to upgrading Vincenzo's tank in the best way possible!
