Well, I'm finally getting around to posting about Calypso. Almost two weeks ago, I was returning something at walmart, and afterward, decided to wander over to the fish section to see if there was anything interesting over there. To my surprise, it looks as though that walmart is getting rid of all of their live fish. Save for a few bettas and goldfish, all the tropical tanks had been cleared out. Anyway, a little female betta caught my eye because she kept swimming back and forth depending on which was I was walking. Long story short, I ended up bringing her home. (Because of this, my parents have decided that three bettas is enough. LOL) Anyway, she's become my favorite out of my three bettas. She has so much personality! She'll follow my finger around, she'll jump and grab food off my fingers, and all kinds of fun stuff. She's temporarily in a 1 gallon tank, but I'm planning on hopefully getting her an eclipse 3 soon, as I absolutely love my eclipse 6.
Anyway, here's some pics of Calypso.
For a few days, she lived in a critter keeper.
Hi Neighbor! (The day after I got her, Feesh built an enormous bubblenest, lol)

Random offtopic question;
Does anyone else have a cat that likes to steal things? Mine, who normally just tries to take my stuffed animals and pokedolls has decided to steal my container of betta food this morning and I can't find it anywhere.
Is she?! I thought she looked different from other females that I've seen that are similar to her in color...xD Never thought I'd find a dragon at walmart
I agree! Normally my Walmart has a small amount of the same looking fish, however....one day they had a bunch of really beautiful, healthy looking, young bettas! I was shocked. LOL. I ended up buying a gorgeous red crowntail that day. So you really never know.
Wow, she does look like a plakat. I figured she was just a VT since she came from walmart, but seeing those pictures, it looks like she really could be one.
They take terrible care of the females at our wal-mart. Tifa (who I later found was male) was the healthiest of the bunch and Nina looked just about dead. Glad I nabbed them when I did.
They currently have one in there that can't help but float on her side... her spine is bent, and she doesn't move unless provoked... she's been there the past two times I've gone to get tank stuff... And she looks just like my Nina.. I want to bring her home so bad!!!

Calypso's cup wasn't all that great, but it wasn't terrible either. The same day that I got her, they had a female that was definately on her way out...her water was a murky brown color and it was just terrible. =( But, it looks like the walmart I bought her at is getting rid of all of their live fish, so no more will have to suffer (or at least, at that location).
Cats, as well as dogs, LOVE fish food. I have lost so much fish food because of my crazy 2 n 2. >.< Lock the fish food out of reach! I keep mine in the fridge now a days...
Yeah, this isn't the first time Sly (the cat) has gotten into fish food. We have a community tank in our living room and he can get into the cabinet under the tank. His favorite seems to be the sinking wafers we have for our cories :B
