| Betta therapy...
What do people do when they're feeling down? Some eat ice cream and junk food, some cry, some talk to people...
I buy bettas 
I really need to cut this out if I'm gonna ever get that snail breeding tank running! Sheesh!
Here's the latest addition. She's a crowntail, and such a cutie. I put her next to Riviera, and Vera flared at her! It was cute. I definitely wouldn't try putting females in a sorority tank...  |

I should never have learned about dividers, they'll be my ruin. Quote:

| Thanks.
Unfortunately I haven't yet. The boys are all sharing the 10 gal now until I do. I put Emerson up today as well... I feel really bad taking in these new ones and getting rid of the old... | |

| And of course... the obligatory santa hat pic 
My fish get tired of me always putting these hats on them. They don't like it one bit, but I just tell them to hold still and let me get a good shot. | |

| May I ask you why you get new ones and give up the old ones?
I love the little girls. | |

| I just never connected with Donovan and Emerson. I dunno, something was missing. And I feel bad about it. Winter I could never part with. And I already feel a connection with these girls. I don't know what it was about those two boys, we just never clicked. So I think they'd be happier with someone who can give them better care and love. | |

| Aw, well, I'm sure you're right then. That bond is special. I'm sure you'll find them good homes. | |

| I hope so.
I sent a message to my friends nearby to see if any of them would like to take them. And I said I'd give them a tank too. (So they don't stick them in a bowl )
I still feel really guilty about it though. | |

| You could ship them to me...................... I have plenty of extra aquariums for them.
I have been thinking about getting a few bettas (for the kids of course)
Is it the males that are the really colorful bettas? | |
| | |

| | Fish Master
| Traditionally, yes. But nowadays the females are just as colorful as the males. But the males have the big finnage.
I have no idea how to ship fish... If I could figure it out then maybe that'd work.
I got an offer on Emerson from a guy who lives like an hour and a half south of me. He even will give me some pond snails too. I don't know how I'm gonna get the fish to him though... | |

| Glad to hear that you and the new girls are getting on.
I've got two boys right now that I haven't got a real conection with either. One is becasue he's decided that from now on he's going to be a cory and so doesn't need me. The other is b/c he's to facinated with his reflection, however he's coming around now.
<Good luck with the girls and with sending the boys to they're new homes!> | |

| Yeah... Donovan thinks he's a cory too
And I think Emerson is to proud of his appearance.
But my little Winter is my baby. I love him so much, I just wanna give him a big squeeze! And my little girlys are adorable. They just love me already 
I still haven't came up for a name for this new girl yet...
I was thinking Grace but then thought that I'd better save that one. I'll ponder on it some more... | |

| Hmmm... you're other girl is Vera, how about Vega?
I'm not the best at picking names but here a couple other idea's for you, Artemis, Athena, Jewel, Cy (Cyan)... don't know if any of those catch your fancy.
P.S. My boyfriend has suggested... "Moonshine Sparklepants"
(I'm not sure if he was joking or not...) | |

a little bit. I'm not great with names most of the time and the greek gods are always neat ones.
Siren?
(she called to you?)
I usually get my inspiration from the fish, and the names usually change till I find one. What you do you usually "call" her when you think of her? that's how Nighthawk got his.
Good Luck. | |

| She did call to me.
Yeah, usually it comes to me. With Emerson it took at least a week though... I'll keep watching her, see if anything pops into my head. | |
