Her appetite is also great...whooo!

Congrats on your first Betta, Kat! They are such wonderful fish! I think that they have wonderful personalities and so do goldfish :). Im hoping I can redo my small backyard pond next year and have goldfish again...I miss that so.

Have you ever thought about LED lights? They reeeally enhance the fishies colors and dont give off any heat. I do like florecents too and used to keep them on my 10 and 20gs when I had them set up. Let me know how she does with her new lighting when you get it and send up some pics when you can :D

Thanks, he's my first fish ever. I only got him three days ago, so i'm pretty new at this whole thing. I almost wish I had gotten a rescue, but I know I wouldn't have the experience.

That cup was by far the worst thing I have ever seen.

HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO LET IT GET THAT BAD?
