Little Girl Betta

I was at Walmart Saturday night . I love to look at the pet section .( As bad as it is , I can't help myself) I spotted these tiny little females. I haven't seen such tiny bettas before. I fell in love with a lively little white girl but as I have 4 tanks at home now ( 36 g , 29 g , and 2 - 5 gal) I really have no room for another so I said to hubby ...if I had room.... and we left. All night long I couldn't get her out of my mind. The cups they were ( and some poor ones are still ) in are so nasty. You could hardly see the little fish . Well Hubby suggested I put her in the 1 1/2 gal I just took Little Boy Blue out of. I upgraded him to a 5 gal. Soooo yesterday we went back and she was still there and still begging to come home. I have her in the 1 1/2 gal with the idea I may be able to put her in the 36 gal. It is a peaceful community in there. Will see how it goes. Here are some pix...the first one is the cup she was in ...a little blurry but you can see how nasty it is. The next 2 are her ...she has a pinky white body with yellow eyes. ( I didn't notice that until the pix) and clear yellow fins...Haven't got the right name for her yet ..but working on it.

I was at Petco on Sat. and they had the tinest little itty bitty halfmoon royal blue boy....It took everything in my power to leave him behind.....I have been thinking of him non stop.....I have a soft spot for these little guys and their cups..I want to save them all but know it is not possible....

Anyway, congratulations on your new girl....She is a DOLL!

Yes it is a small world filter.

I got it because I don't like the under gravel filter that came with that tank. It is only supposed to be a qt tank...lol but here she is ...I may add her to the 36 gallon with a few small fish I have in there but it will all depend on how everyone gets along.
