I say there is no rush to name a pet! You kind of have to "feel them out" before naming! Giorgio is a big strong dark blue betta, and he can kick Manolo's butt- who is tiny and a bit purple-y! Their names fit, but it took me a while to come up with them!
So...... more problems that I have (they never seem to end).
On Sunday I'm going back to school and we're making a pit stop in NYC to visit my aunt in the hospital. The problem is that (of course) I'm bringing my betta's back with me, and there isn't going to be any heat on in the car for about an hour or 2 (meaning its going to be freezing). If I bury my bettas under blankets and jackets do you think that they'll be ok for a few hours?
I ordered some heat packs used to ship fish in case of a power outage. You could get some of those hand and feet warmer things. They work the same way, I think. A neighbor of mine just got some for her daughter who is a police officer and will be in Washington for the inauguration. It will be really cold there. She got them at a sporting goods store, I believe.I'm not real sure exactly how they work but I think you open them and they start working in a few minutes. You could put the fish in small containers, like gladware containers and put them in a cooler with the warmers.
THAT WAS A GENIUS IDEA!!!!!!!!! I didn't even think of that. I actually think I may have a few of them in my house. Thank you SO much for thinking of that. Now all I have to do is either find the hand warmers or go and buy new ones!
Hahaa, thank you for calling it a genius idea. That made my day! lol Thats great if you have some already. After the power outages people in New Hampshire and Massachusetts had, I don't want to lose my fish if my power goes out. So I bought some shipping heat packs. Around here, if the wind blows hard enough, the power goes out.
We had the remnants of Hurricane Ike come through here last September and some people were without power for a whole week! We were only out for about 18 hours. It darn near took our roof off. Had to have a new one!
I named some of my fish in spanish colors: Rojo (red), Azul (blue), Amarillo (yellow). My son named his fish Aslan; for the Chronicles of Narnia. I had another one named Flash. And my females I named Sapphire, Pearl, and Queen.
mabe crown tail or veiltail mix? He is really pretty! I luv bettas! no matter how common or rare they are the are prly my fav. fish ever!!
