Eventually ^__^
Yesterday, while my youngest neice was visiting during spring break, we stopped over at Big Al's and I fell in love with all of the pretty VTs there. There were some achingly beautiful bettas there, HMs and some veiltails in a new shipment. It's the first time I've seen them in those little triangle baggies. They didn't look stressed or anything and there were some real beauties. ...
She got one - he's a turquoise CT, and he's her first betta. She's going to start her trip home this evening, and sadly, she doesn't have internet where she lives; so she's getting care tips from her crazy ol'betta auntie :D. I picked out a gorgeous little yellow boy .... :3
