I have had a lot of fish in the past, and know a fair bit about how to take care of them. Yet, I discovered that I knew little about bettas and did google searches (found I could NOT trust what I was told at my local pet shop, sadly...), and here is the result of my efforts. My three year old grandson named our new pet Nemo (he loves Nemo, the movie!). Nemo is about 8 weeks old, and about 1.25 inches long; his deep blue color is what made me fall in love with him two days before I actually bought him - I wanted to find more info and what I needed before I bought him or any other betta if he was gone.
Not sure if that picture showed up...
Edited this post, but not sure it looks better - I tried to wrap the text... Oh, well, practice makes perfect!
