Ugh! I just lost five paragraphs!
I started this thread to make an Old Man Tribute thread for our old Bettas. I asked others to post their Old man stories or copy/paste them from the other thread which was dying. I thought it might be nice to have a pinned tribute thread for Our Old Bettas and Our First Bettas. But no one responded so I erased everything, but I couldn't delete the thread.
But I did go on a binge today!
I had to get Whiskers his rabies shot, so I went to my fav lps.
I decided to check the Bettas. I wanted a red pretty boy VT.
Well one had blown a nice bubble nest in his little cup, and another was flaring his heart out. I just couldn't decide!
So, whatdaya think I did?
Hehe! I got them both and a critter keeper.
But Whiskers needed a new leash, one of the ones that is on a wind up thing, so I don't have to poke my head in the bushes on his walks. I had a refund from Petco with a 10% coupon, so I went and got his leash there.
Of course I checked their critter keepers. They were cheaper, and I thought I might as well check their Bettas. They had their Bettas in larger cups, and they also were young and healthy looking.
But they had one very young 1" VT lady. So I got her too.

I am bad.
I don't have pics of the new family yet, so here's a pic of Whiskers:
