My aquabid betta finally arrived yesterday afternoon - after a stressed out momma waited an extra 2 days for him to show up. He was in about 2-3 inches of water for approximately 5 days. Considering that I think he did pretty good. When I first saw him he had some major stress striping going on and he was losing finnage (is that a word?).
Here is his picture before leaving Thailand:

And here is last night and today

So guess who was still at Petco last night?
So I think I want to name him after my favorite musician, Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October. Does he look like a Justin? I will take suggestions on this one!! I just love his shimmering colors!
He's in a temporary (1 gal) tank right now but he's going to be upgraded to a roomy 3 gallon as soon as I get it set up!
I'm a proud betta momma!
