Got myself some new boys

[Koda]

Today I got myself 3 new betta boys, and need help thinking of names for 2 of them.

Halfmoon

Depending on the light, his fins appear to be either a pale redish or an steel blue.

Crowntail

Not the clearest picture, but he's mostly blue with some red streaks on his anal fin

And I've already named the last one. This is my other halfmoon boy, Derecho (his coloration makes me think of an intense thunderstorm).


Oh and just so he doesn't feel left out, I had 1 betta already before getting these 3. He's a crowntail names Kinu (means silk in Japanese).


Also, I'm new to this site, nice to meet you all :)

They are all very beautiful! Congrats! but I must say the 1st one is a gem! Would love to see more photos of him.

Starlight for the 2nd one. Im not sure why or if it even fits haha

[Bettanewbie60]

Wow they are all lovely!

[Koda]

Thanks :) and since bettausa asked, here is a few more of the 1st one



Some of them aren't as clear as I'd like, but it really shows how he can't seem to decide what color he is.

Also, starlight is kind of cute, but maybe a little feminine. That's usually the biggest problem I have, I can think of a lot of cool names for female pets, but the males take some thinking.

I can't think of any names.. But your boys are PRETTY!
btw the boys you said are crowntails, I believe they're actually veil tails :)

They're actually CTs. The fins are just close together.

[Hopeseeker]

Yep, they are crown tails.....they look like they just didn't want to show off for the photo shoot!
BTW, all your bettas are gorgeous!!!

Ohh! I don't know why I didn't think of Kaito, that'd be a good one for the blue one :)
For the 1st one, I was thinking something to do with his smokey/misty coloring.

And yes, Kinu and the blue boy are both defiantly CTs. I'll have to find a small mirror and get them to puff up a bit next time I try taking photos.

Also, I have some bad news :( Derecho has gotten sick. His fins look a little shriveled and his coloring is kind of grayish. I originally had the 3 in a 10 gallon tank with dividers, but I had to move him to his own tank with some medication. I'm really hoping he'll pull through.
