My New Betta!

[fshinggrl]

I was torn between two at the LFS. Of course my kids both wanted different ones. I think I am calling this guy "Sam." He's doing ok. He shares the tank with a shoal of White Cloud Mtn. Minnows which seems to be working out. He's given me a heart attack already by 'disappearing.'
Is his coloring unusual? I swear his color changes. Most of the time he looks like he is red/white & blue!

Wow, he is beautiful! The pattern he has (fins with bands of two distinct colours) is called 'butterfly'. It is well 'set' and therefore common in the halfmoon, but not often seen in the veiltail, at least, certainly not as neatly as your Sam.
