so we got a new shipment in of bettas this morning... there are some pretty cool ones. the purple one, to die for. he's not just flat purple. his body is a light lavender and his fins are dark purple with some red iridescent. the other i loved was an orange dalmatian VT. soo pretty. also we have a pink male VT, what!? and just a plain orange male VT. ah! how do i not buy them all!?!?!

I think if I saw a truly pink fish I might break my one betta rule. ;-)

no idea!!! i'll think of something. i kinda like getting to know their personality a little so it's easier to name them.

right now he seems like a pretty boy who likes to flaunt his stuff. ha. i sort of thought of naming him Barney. not only because he's purple but because he reminds me of Barney on the best tv show of all time "how i met your mother"

ive seen a few like that locally overy once in a while. the shop usually has atleast 1 on the barrack system. its not my type of colour, im more into light green and turquise.

yeah, i'm mostly into the pretty red with other color combos. like my HM. but sometimes certain ones just tug at my heart strings and i see something special in them.

but i love his fins and colors just the same. he's got a great personality too.

its still a very nice colouring for a betta though i guess i got used to seeing those colours locally. at this point im looking different colours. im just missing a CT with similar colour to my green DT. pineapples are a bit harder locally, uncommon but not rare. ive seen 3 CT pineapple, one which i purchased.

heres mine, he has a bit of a bloaty look in fachion lately. its a bit better but it stilll takes him a day or 2 to get rid of bloat. funny thing was that i saw a ct like him online and was loooking to get him. i just hapened to see one locally and saved a bunch of money though i still put him on IAL 24/7. i do have fin curling issues with CT but its worth it to have a CT like him. it always is somewhere on my mind what happened to the other fish id like to have i didnt purchase ie pineapple ct or green bettta .
