Well while I was doing some grocery shopping yesterday I wandered over to the fish section and saw this cute little crowntail. I resisted and went home betta-less but last night I had a dream that I went back and got him. This added with the extra 1g that I have and a nice little spot in the warm computer room made me go back for him this morning and here he is!



In the picture he looks greenish but when I don't use the flash and just look at him he's more of a pinkish bluish

He is very pretty! I am like you, and often can't stop thinking about a fish that I have seen, and go back for them later.

Congratulations on your

Congrats on the new fish, hes lovely. Got a name yet?

No name yet! Any suggestions? Right now he is being referred to as "desk fish". The checkout lady looked at me like I was crazy coming in at 8 am and buying nothing but a single fish!

Sounds like something that I would do,or have I allready??? Anyway,Congrats,he certainly is pretty!

aaaww, 'desk fish' hes goreous

I thought of a name! I think I'm going to call him Mimpi. It's Indonesian for dream. I had to think of a name fast before my husband did because the last fish he got to name is my oranda: "Conservation Officer"

He is gorgeous! Congrats!

I love the name! Seeing how you had a dream about buying him! It really fits!

He's beautiful!

Very pretty betta... Congrats!

I know what its like to see a fish and rush back the next day hoping theyre still there!

It is a perfect name for him

Aww! He's so pretty! I had 6 at one time, so 4 isn't that many.

I have 22... is that bad?

aww he's beautiful!

I've been keeping an eye on a really pretty white betta at the lfs near my house. I've decided that if he's still there this weekend I'm going to buy him. Everytime I go to that store I have go look and see if that one is still there and I've wanted him since I first saw him but it simply wasn't possible...but now it is I've got a ten gallon just waiting for a resident

Yabbie,that's not so bad! At one time,I had 28 Seperate Betta tanks around and fry to boot! That got to be a bit much for me though,and I got myself out of Betta's for a while.Moving to a smaller place will do that you know!

Yeah,it's tough to keep going back and seeing that same fish you liked is still there Nichole. I really hope he's still there now that you have a tank all ready.Good luck!

I would definitely go back for the white betta I saw a white one yesterday that I almost got, but 2 bettas in 2 days is too much. Even if it was my birthday!

Wow 28 would be a lot of waterchanging! The way I think about it is as long as you have the room and the time, whatever number of bettas you get will be way better in the hands of someone willing to care for them than somebody that just has just one that will die from lack of interest.

An update on Mimpi: He ended his hungerstrike today on freeze-dried bloodworms(I offered him frozen yesterday and the booger refused them). Also, I saw him flare for the first time! He stopped doing it when I grabbed the camera, but here's a picture that's close.

4 isn't bad! I belive I was up to 6 at one point. He is very cute

Very Pretty!

hehe aw
I'm on the look out for a nice white one... ooh a white crowntail
but i can only find the ones with finrot!

congrats on the new fishies!! i went and got 6 new bettas the other day, so you arent doing so bad!!

Six! You didn't even try and resist temptation

Wow 6 at a time! If only I had the room....
