Went into the fish store on Saturday...got my Mom some cute little lemon tetras...

Then was looking around and this tank had your choice...$1.50!!!! In this tank was this beat up male betta...poor baby didn't have much of a tail and just looked miserable!!! They said that he got the hell beat out of him in a tank with other fish.

Needless to say...he is now swimming in a divided 10 gallon aquarium here at my house!

He seems to be doing alright, except that he hides behind a rock I have in there with the divider....so half the time I panick thinking he is missing out of his tank (jumped)!

Here is a picture of the poor little guy...any name ideas????

Awww, good for you for saving him! He's going to be quite a pretty little boy when his fins start filling in!

He's pretty :D
Maybe Rocky? Seems tough like him.

Wow - he IS going to be gorgeous when he grows those fins back.

As far as names - I'm not good at naming fish at ALL.
That's why most of my fish have names that normally would be given to hairy old guys. (Harvey, Archie, etc.)

:lmao: :lmao: Too funny....


But I do like Rocky....and he has definitly had a rocky road so far!!!!!

Good one, Jols! :clap:

Get him a Sylvester Stallone cut out, or somehow find a mini-statue of Rocky. Or print off a picture of the stair steps he runs on in the movie and put that behind his lil' home :D

How about Crayola for the name? :) only seems fitting with all those colors.

Way to go saving the little guy. You are a good person. I dunno, he doesn't look like a Rocky, to peachy colored. How about Sherbet or Schnapps! I know goofy names, but I see his color, and those are my 2 favorite things that come to mind. Orange Sherbet and Peach Schnapps! :laugh:

awah he is adorable!

Buttercup !!


That's the first name that came into my mind.

How about 'Mello' for a name? :hmm: Very cute little boy! :clap:

Think I wil stick to Rocky for him...

But Crayola kinda suits this guy.....Got him the other day....

:omg: I AM A BETTA ADDICT!!!! :omg:

Hey, you're among addicts here. I'm getting two more on Wednesday... lol.

ARGGGHHHHHH :banghead: :banghead:

It won't let me load the right picture......... :pft:

Will try again .... :hmm:

I will not get anymore.

Nope. :whistle:

Where are you getting your new bettas from???



Had a question on this guy...can't get his colors just right on photoshop...but his fins are clear looking with red dots/streaks going thru them....is there a "name" for this type of coloration???

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Until you find one that needs saving! :bitchslap:

Jason (Bettabelieveit) ordered some from Grandbetta on aquabid. I just happen to be getting his free one and the other male orange plakat.

Ok, so the coloration... I'm seeing more and more of it around. ONE store we went to called it tangerine, but it doesn't look like a tangerine to me. It's really only a coloration I've seen on veils, but I love it. My Pookie has some spots like that, too...

We should ask some breeders and see what they say!

That guy is very pretty :wub:

Yeah. Sure.



:lol@U:

Rocky has kept me on my toes the last couple of days.... :banghead: :banghead:

He has been just kinda laying there under his rock formation....or under his leaves... :wtf:

He has been eating good and all....Guess he is just resting...but man, tbats hard on a person! :lol:

Beautiful and cute.

I need a new fish.

Oh yeah, I do have another one scheduled to come to me soon.


BUT that one has had my name on him for a long time now.

No more for me for real.







For a while.
lol
