His name is Cerulean. Leo for short. :wub: We got him today because my other betta, Sunset, who was three, died two weeks ago. I'd show ya some pics but the digi stinks. His fins are a bit tattered... :/
 
First of all, Welcome to TFF :D

To help his fins, you can add aquarium salt and keep up with the water changes :thumbs:
Even though you say your camera isn't too good, I'd still love to see pics of your new boy :nod:

Sorry about Sunset :rip:
 
Aww. Thanks for the welcome and sympathy. I was upset, but not surprised when Sunny dropped off. Aquarium salt? Alrighty. I'll look into it. ;)
 
Sorry to hear about Sunset. But as you said, 3 is a long life! :)

Cerulean is a lovely name. :wub: I hope he lives as long a life as Sunset did! :)
 
Thank you! Yes... I kind of have a knack for naming things. :*) What are the names of your bettas?
 
It's alright. Ya know he's survived a lot of crud from me. Once I was taking him to the counter to clean out the bowl, and I wacked the bottom of the bowl on the counter. The whole bottom fell off so he ended up in a pool of water flopping about. we had to put him in tap water for a few minutes so we could find a new bowl and get some purified water. He also survived getting chewed up by my vicious guppies. I loved him. He was such a trooper.

Looks like Leo is a cowardly beauty queen.
 
I have one male red betta called Jeremiah, Jerry for short. He's a veiltail and looks exactly like the betta in this pic (but without the fin rot :/ ):

How cute. Jerry the fish. That sounds awesome.

Leo the fish sounds almost as good.
 
You're welcome. :p

I suppose Cerulean is a veilteil. Except... his tail is very big. But yeah. Veilteil.
 
Omg. He just jumped out. I had to put him back in. Spunky guy... guess he didn't like me calling him a Beauty Queen. :rofl: He's alright, though, in case you are wondering. Looks like I'll have to put something on top to keep him in... suggestions?
 
oooo coffee filter with hole poked in it :) you can rubberband it ... or you can get a peice of plastic and like cut holes in it and secure it with a rock :p im ghetto i know but hey i dont want my bettas jumping at night :p

Gah! Feisty little dude. ;)

You can use those clear plastic sleeves for binder display folders. Just punch a few holes and secure it and unless you're quite close you'll hardly notice it. :)
 
You could use plastic canvas too, just cut out the shape you need. My boy's names are: Sushi, Shark Bait, Shred, Flame, Blaze, Sashi, and Fineas. I have a girl and her name is Cherry. :D
