I swore I'd never do it again...

I guess I'll just say that my vow to never again buy a betta was only applicable to males...

Well Lucy, she's on my desk. I just changed the water in her little cup so she can be happy while I rearrange things for her.
(Of course she defecated right after I put her in the new water. And at the store she was trying to eat anything she could find. I can tell already I'm gonna love her )

Lol!

Ok, here she is. I couldn't leave her because she's got a big black spot on top of her head and on her side. There's nothing I like more than a unique betta. She has a blue tint to her fins, which I'm hoping will color up soon. Now to find a spot for her in my tanks...

How fun...I'm really starting to take to Bettas..Maybe once everything else is set up I'll start looking. I'm glad you added to your family. I'm sure she'll be a HAPPY BETTA with you as her mommy.

Awww, what a cutie...

I can relate to the feeling. You can't leave them, but you're not sure where exactly they're going to go.
Named her yet?

I think she'll share my 5 g with Winter. At least until I sell Donovan. I hope he won't mind.
Haven't named her yet... actually I haven't even started thinking of names. I'll get to it once she's in her new home.

What brat messing up her water already.

She's gorgeous, her fins are going to look terrific after getting settled into warm clean water.

I got her home all set up! Sorry about the mess, I just did a water change, so there's a bunch of floaties...
Winter seems to be acting a bit more masculine all of a sudden.... he's actually flaring

She's looking around, checking out everything. I think she feels a bit overwhelmed at her new big home!

I can tell I'm gonna just love her...

Yes exactly. She is so much more relaxed

I Love Bettas and She Is Very Pretty

Me: "Doctor I Think I Have A Sickness Bug"
Doctor: "Oh Yes, You Have Been Bitten By The Betta Bug. This disease is contagious"
Me: "Thanks Doctor"

Thank you everyone.

Matt-It's a good name, but I tend to pick names from songs/bands/books that I like. The name betta doesn't quite seem to fit her personality. Thanks though.

Bella-Hm... that's a very cute name, but I think I'd rather use it on a yellow fish. Thanks.
