My own place!!! Niagara Falls, Ont.
So yesterday I headed out to WalMart to pick up some embroidery floss, and an SD memory card for my new digi. Weird, but I'm a hockey girlfriend, and my boyfriend had a game last night, so I was going to embroider their logo onto my shirt and wear black and green and be all pathetically into the game.
And I'm not the only one who does this. :p

I went through the craft section and found the right colour green I needed, and then discovered they didn't have the right memory card I needed. So, to kill some time til I went over to Staples to get it, I wandered through the pet section.

As usual, there were some not-so-fantastic conditions in the tanks, but their bettas, well.. the usual filth was in their cups.
Since my two crowntail boys died before I moved to the falls [I let my Nana clean their bowls. She used soap and did not rinse well. :/] I was looking for some boys to put in my betta tanks. I started looking through them and was amazed by what I found! I grabbed my two favourites and had someone hang on to them for me, ran over to Staples to buy my memory card [I didn't want to go in there with fish :lol: That would've been fun to explain!], and when I came back I tracked down a pet associate. I insisted that she change their water immediately and put them into bags with more clean water, and then I went and checked the rest of the boys. I had her clean their cups as well, and we found a dead one in the process. That was not fun.

Once my boys were all clean and ready to go I paid for them and loaded them into my backpack so they could enjoy the bike ride home. That's right. Bike. :lol: These are probably the only two bettas who have been on a bike!

So now, after my long story, I would like to introduce you to Pegasus and Anubis, my gorgeous new boys!

This is Pegasus. He's in a WalMart 1g fishbowl, hence the slightly rippled appearance to the pictures. The glass isn't exactly the smoothest.

He's so cute!

And then this is Anubis. He's a bit shy, and doesn't really like posing for the camera. He also seems to breathe really heavily, but I think he's getting used to clean water instead of dirty, so that might be causing it.

:huh: I'm not too sure how to take that statement, but whatever.

Pegasus is the biggest ham in the world, he's so ridiculous. Anubis just sits there. And stares. Oh, how entertaining. :lol:
 
Beautiful new babies! I love the WM 1G bowls. I have 7 of them. You are right about the pictures coming out funny looking though, but for $4.97 who can complain.

Good luck with them.
 
They're so prettyful!
Pegasus has such a cute little face.... yes him does! Yes him does!! :wub:
