so! i convinced my fiance to get me the most purple betta i've seen around here for my valentine's day present!

he still has no name but i'm sure i'll think of something.

he changes color a bit in different light brightness. so sometimes he looks SUPER purple and other times he looks reddish purple. but i'm still so happy i picked him! i love his finnage! i believe he's combtail VT. he has a lot of fins too! :]

oh i bet she's so pretty!! :]

i sure can!

he already made his first bubble nest by the way. and i've already found he's a picky eater. still not named yet! but i like to make sure i love the name first.

he's pretty fast when he flares i noticed. so it was hard to take pictures of him. so he would mostly half flare or it'd be blurry. honestly, i think he's my most aggressive male so far. i've never seen any of mine act the way he does when he flares or sees another male lol

but here's a few of the better ones. i did take a video but it's currently loading. lol so i'll post it when it's done.

Is that your betta in your avatar?

yup. it's my HM male. my first betta!


but i've finally decided on a name. it may sound strange but i'm naming him Lenard, or Lenny for a nickname. my grandpa (who is 94) is currently in the ER right now and not doing so well... i thought of my grandpa's name for him because he's purple. my grandpa was in WWII and received a purple heart. it's one of the few things that stick in my mind when i think of him, that purple heart i always admired.
