New betta boy owner

I was at the store when they just got a new shippment of bettas and found a yellowish one. I was looking for a pure yellow but found one that is a peach color with a hint of neon blue and red in the fins. He also has vibrant blue eyes. I have him in the 10 gallon with the 3 otos and the coolie loach. I will have some pics tonight so I can have some help naming my new boy.

Re: New betta boy owner

He is a great betta, Tom. He looks quite large, also. I love his unusual colouring as well. What is his name??

Re: New betta boy owner

He's a beauty! He's also a dalmation Betta. (he has spots on his fins) His mouth is exactly like my Frasier with the wide lips and very upturned mouth. Cute!

Re: New betta boy owner

That sounds like a wonderful set-up, Tom. You'll have to let us know how the cohabitation goes wiht the kuhlis.

Iv'e seen a spot of brown algae there, am sure your otos are going to have a wild time in there!

And, of course, niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice betta. I love the paler ones.

Am I being paranoid or do I detect a bit of finrot on his ventral?

You might be seeing some but I will wait a little while to see if it is. I don't think it would be wise to put hime through that much stress in the first few days I have him.

No, there is a topic dedicated to trying to name him.
