Introduction (Me and My Betta)

[conleyri]

Hi,

I'm as new to this forum as I am to owning Betta Fish. I wanted to introduce us. My name is Richard and his name is Azure. I bought (arguably saved) him from the life in a very small cup at Petsmart. At first, I went in there to look at the cats but I saw him floating there and he was too beautiful to pass up.

*BTW Thanks to Alex09 for the tip on taking good photos of these guys by using flower setting on my camera. Three days of FAIL finally over :)~

I took a lot of the advice here when outfitting the new tank and it looks like Azure is finally getting used to his new home. He spent the first few days hanging out by the filter but after some time exploring he's finally made some decor his home. Im going to buy some floating plant life tomorrow because I hear its really good for them. I think me and Azure are off to a good life.

Nice to meet you all.

Hey conleyri~ welcome to the forum

I think I"m reading incorrectly, because I swear I just read you got him from Petsmart.... I've never seen pretty bettas, especially halfmoons at a Petsmart before O_O . Lol, anyways, he's beautiful. :)

Wow, he's gorgeous. :) Best of luck to both of you!!

Although they were torturing them in cups that wouldn't fit enough water for a child to drink and he look miserable, they had a couple beautiful half moons. I believe him to be a Delta but its just because of their labeling. They had an awesome pearl one that I may purchase at later date if he's still there (different aquariums of course). Thanks for the compliment.

Wow beautiful fish! Are you sure it was Petsmart and not Petco? I've never known a Petsmart to have anything other than veiltails and crowntails. Anyway, welcome to the forum!
