Don Juan

[Desdemona]

Hopefully it doesn't seem to morbid of me to post pictures of my Betta soon after he dies. He was a pretty little guy, that is for sure. I named him Don Juan (though I never really call any of my pets by their names) because his first bubble nest was a almost perfect heart. I also love my camera (Canon EOS).

When I first got him, I think this was a cell phone photo:

After I put him in the new tank this past weekend.

Showing off his fins to the "intruder" (a reflection I created for said picture). I tried to get one when he was more flared but it didn't happen.

One of the Phantom of the Opera songs? I watched the movie they made but that is the extent of my Phantom experiance.

Yea, the blue seemed really unique, but I am not a betta breeder nor an expert of what is available. I did a little reading about yesterday, so I know he had marble fins but that is all. He was a bit of a mix, red, white or yellow (the photos online didn't seem to be a good representation of the difference), and blue.

He was really pretty my male is orange and has blue in his fins like him looks kinda similar to yours but with out the spots

OT: but I love Dr. Suess quotes. I have read quite a few that I like.

Like:

“We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”
― Dr. Seuss
