Yep......He came from Petco lol The best part is they charged me for a Veil instead of a crownie so he was only $3.00!

Thats redonkulous! And at petco no less! You have quite the eye, or a good supplier at your local petco.

Why thank you! I spend a lot of time sifting through the cups....This guy was way in the back...I start by looking at their little eyes and then evaluate finnage...This boy had it all going on..He was not a happy camper at all! Here is what he looked like right after he went into his new home...Pale and scared....He perked up after 30 minutes.....

Hi Karen
I have to say that I dont think I have ever seen a minty green on a Betta before! WOWOW... He is beautiful! That is a most unusual coloring and I love it. Congrats on your new found boy! You are very lucky to find these beauties at a Petco.
Your photo of Danny boy.. when you first brought him home, just about broke my heart. What sad eyes... awwww... poor lil thing.. I would never have been able to walk away from those eyes either no matter what color he was!
Im so happy that he has found a loving him with you and its obvious in how much he has blossomed in the short time!

Shell......Here is the tank he will go in....He is in a little 2 1/2 gallon now....I found this tank at Petco....I have never seen one like it....It is around 3 plus gallons and it is sooo cool! I have Zero in it right now but he'll be going back in with his hormonal roomate Lenox soon.....It has an undergravel filter so I need to add a small whisper....

WOW, he is precious. 3 dollars!? Are you kidding me, that is just ridiculously inexpensive for a betta like him.
