My new, beautiful and first betta!

[Miss Em]

Hi all...

I randomly went into a pet shop today with a friend and we both ended up coming out with bettas! And I must admit...I am a little bit smitten!!
He is my first betta...and also my first fish ever!

I have called him Scarlet Pimpernell..or Scarlet for short...partly because of his beautiful colour and also from the play of the same name!!


Ps. Im sorry my pics are a bit blurry..I hope to get some better ones of him soon!

Pps. All his tank stuff is coming tomorrow..so I can wait to make him a pretty home!

Pretty red veil tail!

Wow Scarlet is beautiful! My lps or lfs never have bright/deep red bettas...they are alway pale reds....I wish they had some.

[Miss Em]

oooh thank you for letting me know he is a veil tail...I am so uneducated when it comes to bettas!I was wondering what he was!

He is a funny little thing..everytime I try and take a pic of him he flares up and shows off!

[Miss Em]

Oh! By the way..he has started making a nest.

Does that mean he is happy? Or just natural instinct?

[dramaqueen]

I would say both.
