I finally managed to get a few shots of my betta. He is SO not photogenic. LOL Sorry if some are blur, as I said, it was seriously hard to get a few shots of him.

I also need some suggestions for his name. Had him for a few weeks now but still haven't come up with a name yet, I'm no good at names! haha

DROGO: from the Anglo-Saxon word drog, meaning "ghost, phantom."

What about 'Stealth' or since he was hard to photograph 'Blurr'.
Maybe a light behind him would help to illuminate him.

Hello Peacemaker. I suggest "Casper" (The Friendly Ghost since he is white)
Ken

peacemaker92

haha cool names! I wish I could take em' all! He's not actually white, not even metallic white. He's mixed with a whitish yellow with blue tips on his tail. Thanks for the suggestions. You'all just too good.

fishtroy

I love naming them but with my naming theme, I am generally the only one who can pronounce, spell & remember their names! LOL!

LOL what about disney characters? ALL my bettas are named after disney characters

How about....
Gaston? or Lumiere? Cogsworth? LOL

Felipe? Chip? Gus gus just a couple LOL

fishtroy

Disney characters! That list of ideas could be limitless!

iloveengl

I always have to get to know my fish for a week or two (sometimes a couple months!) before I know their name. I'm weird like that. Maybe he just needs more time before he tells you his name.

Tony G.

I totally agree with you ilove! You usually name them after their personality. For example, clyaton, i didnt know his name untill i knew he was a villain Hence the name clayton

peacemaker92

haha that's funny! I guess I'll just have to wait as everyone said So far all I know is that he is NOT photogenic! LOL and sometimes shy...

Tony G.

Shy.... hmm.... maybe shailoh? Or MJ after michael jackson as he wasnt photogenic either

fishtroy

Lol, good one Tony!

Hmmm shy, who was known for being shy? I guess shy people generally aren't in the spotlight much, hence, they're shy!

peacemaker92

Shailoh sounds like a malaysian word... They would pronounce it Shy Loh! haha MJ is cool but I don't want my fish to have his name, what if he dances too?

Yeah, that's true. I think of disney characters if I look for a shy personality name.

fishtroy

Ok, scraping the bottom of the barrel here, isn't there a Mario game character called Shy Guy?

The only shy Disney character my mental block can think of is Flower the skunk from Bambi, somehow I dont think a male fighter would like the name Flower much though. Lol.

peacemaker92

Agreed! I wouldn't name my lil' fighter flower either

fishtroy

Glad we're on the same page, it wouldn't do much for his macho male ego!

peacemaker92

haha so agree! Maybe I'll name him Macho? LOL since he's so not photogenic, basically too proud of himself and is quite strong considering all my cories died in his tank but he's still alive. Thanks for the 'word', Troy!

fishtroy

Macho, Macho Man! Has a nice ring to it! Especially for a strong, brave fighter fish. Run the name by him, see if he likes it!

peacemaker92

haha yeah. Definitely Will do.

fishtroy

Did he like it?

peacemaker92

haha He was showing attitude Don't know if he likes it but he seriously is a tough guy.

fishtroy

Maybe he was acting to suit his name?

peacemaker92

haha yeah. Most probably Nowadays he just sits in his usual corner, either sleeping or just lazing around. Macho alright

fishtroy

Ok, he turns it on when it suits him, selective Macho, LOL. Too cute!

peacemaker92

haha yeah Very cute indeed. All bettas are cute!

fishtroy

Yes, but some are bratty! I have a few bratty babies in my house.
They find a way to get up to a lot of mischief for a fishy!

peacemaker92

LOL yeah. Gotta prepare for some rules and punishment.

fishtroy

LOL, my typical punishment is a time out, I move the trouble causer away from the other fighters and give him a lecture. They surprisingly behave better after that! Other than fighting amongst themselves the only thing I will not tolerate from by babies is them flaring up at me! I want to be liked by my little darlings not treated as their enemy. I am lucky in that mine don't generally flare at me, only when I buy a new baby and then they only try it once. It is amazing how you can raise them and communicate with them.

peacemaker92

That's cool! I think my two bettas now behave very well, so I wouldn't think there's any need for punishment or lectures. I'd just show them my adoring hand and they'd sometimes shoot around the tank or just stare at me and laze around. It IS amazing!
