Guys, I cannot express how much I COULD NOT let this guy go. I was at my local Petco to purchase some more Betta food and of course as always, I went to check the Betta section. I saw this guy and I instantly feel in LOVE! I just couldn't say no, I had to take him home, especially after seeing 3 dead betta's floating in their cups *cry*

Here he is! I'm thinking of naming him Salem, but i'm not 100% sure. Some name suggestions would be cool!

I'm not very good with names, but I just had to comment on how stunning he is.

Wow he is stunning. I'll throw out Murasaki, Japanese for Purple.
 
Salem
  • #4
What an absolutely stunning boy- he looks like an attempt to make a black orchid pattern. I think Salem would be a great name (though I may be biased seeing as that's y name )

Other names that could work if you want to stick wit the Kinda-Spooky/Edgy-Names;
Damien
Branwen
Umbra
Vesper
Wren
Azrael
Briar
Dorian
Edgar
Dante
Hemlock
Ingram
Kazimir
Lazarus (my own betta's name with similar colourng)
Lucier/ Lucien/ Lucius
Osiris
Perseus
Renwick
Tartarus
Waldron

I am lusting after your fish... good fortune was surely guiding you. An awesome find - happy for you.
(but not me :emoji_frowning2

I think if you gave a betta steroids this is what one would look like! He's struttin' bigtime.

Funny, he was labeled as a black orchid. Those are some awesome names! I have not picked a name yet I just can't get any of them to stick! He will be nameless for a little while!

Just an update. I've decided to name him Solo. I'm a nerd and love Starwars, so... Solo it is

He's beautiful! I have to look away and walk by fast to avoid the Beta section. I absolutely cannot do one more impulse buy! I started out with one 29 gn tank 10 months ago, now up to 6 and breeding corydoras'.... lol... Anyhow, when I first saw him I thought of " Sammy" don't know why. He is truly a stunning fish!

I'm so happy fate stepped in for both you. Awesome rescue of a beautifully proud stunning fish. He looks like breeding material, he's just so gorgeous! Congrats.

I might have chosen a name that was vaguely dark, like Pugsley. (if anyone remembers the Addams Family)

He is stunning! Awesome find! I do the same thing whenever I'm at Petsmart/Petco. Their fish situations are horrible.

Gorgeous!!!!! Solo...you are a lucky boy!!
I just bought my first Betta today. Been debating quite awhile. Had the tank ready, even already bought a leaf hammock a month ago! LOL I let my granddaughter name him because he is teal, her favorite color. She picked Neko.

Loved pugsly. I just thought he looked like a Leopold. I also like odd names. I have Lars, Boris, Angus, Gunther, phsyco, briabella and drewscilla. Whew. Lol.

LOL I just wanted a friendly name for my Betta so he's Benny. Had him almost a year and a half now. He's quite a character. My avatar is him when I first got him. He's bigger and heavier now with longer fins.
