I'm so in love with my new bettas! I can't stop watching them. They have amazing personalities. My toddler loves watching them too and DH who was very skeptical at first watches them and talk about them all the time

They are doing really well since I rescued them from those horrible dixie cups. I wish I could have taken them all home. I haven't named them yet but slowly we are making a short list. The blue one was a bit subdued at first, but yesterday and today he has really perked up and the white spots seem to have vanished. The red one is a reall show off. They zip around and have even gone in their caves that I made them. They seem to be spending a lot of time at the divider flaring but my moss is starting to grow and I hope it will block out a bit of the view so they can relax a bit more.

Tonight they both ate off my finger! I have been feeding them three of those Hakari pellets twice a day and one or two bloodworms here and thee for a treat. Tonight I soaked the pellets in garlic juice and they gobbled them up!


I'm so happy I feel like getting a tank in every room. They are so cool!

That's great! Aren't they wonderful little fish?
I hope you'll post some pics soon.

Yeah they are GREAT fish! I wish everyone who keeps them in stupid vases or tanks or whatever, could see how amazing they are given the right conditions.

How many pictures do you want to see? I think I have at least 60 so far! LoL

I finally thought of names:

The blue one is called Haka ( as in the Maori warrior dance) and the red one is called Volcan ( as in volcano)...what do you think?

Volcan made a bubble nest today - yipeee!

Edited to say Haka has also made one - around the filter, I just didn't notice it!

Lucy

Wow, don't know how I missed this thread. What gorgeous boys!
Welcome Haka and Volcan.
