I found this little corner house converted into a fish store down in Sac two weeks ago. And after coming from the giant Capitol Aquarium store just up the street, this little shop seemed unimpressive. But, to my delight, they had a 6 gallon hexagonal glass aquarium that was split like a pie with 6 sections approx 1 gal apiece. I've never seen that before! This means I'll have room for one filter and heater and then 5 bettas! It comes with a glass hood also for about $30! You can't beat that!! I mean my 2.5 without the betta divider was $26! I'm just so excited!

So, since I'm going to pick it up tomorrow and will be freeing up about 4 tanks....I will have to fill that empty space with another betta! So, I called EVERYWHERE and finally found a place that will special order me "split-tail" aka DT bettas! He even asked my color preference and when I wanted them by. Then, he even said even though he's already put in his order for the week, he will try and place a special side order for me so that the fish will be here next week! :hyper: Hello! Awesome! :hyper:

Anyways, moral of the story is: just cuz it's a small hold-in-the-wall store doesn't mean they won't have cool stuff! And, I'm getting more fish!!! :fun:
 
SO...got my new tank...and just to show how darn clumsy I am, I fell while carrying it out of my car to my house. Don't worry, a small chip out of the lid, but still I didn't even get it in the house. Damn...I hate being clumsy!!!

So, instead of coming home with just a new tank and some new plants to decorate it with, I came home with a wittle baby female crowntail too. :*) I couldn't help myself! :look: She is sooooo cute! She's like tan with lavender pearlescent color with some orange and red on the top of her head with orange lipliner! So adorable!! :wub: I was looking around at the others and pondering getting a nice VT red cambodian with red blush or maybe a yellow cambodian or maybe even that gorgeous dark pearly blue CT, but that little girl with the orange lipliner was staring me down for like 15 minutes, so going with the personality, it had to be her! Pics soon!!!!
 
Here is my new fish!!! :wub: :wub:

What do you think? :D
 
:) She's a beauty..What did you name her? I wish I could find a hex like that. The town I'm in we don't even have a petshop.All we have now is super walmart.
 
You should show us your salamander, I thought they need a heat lamp and a bigger place than that. :blink:
 
I still don't have a name for her, I think I will find a name tonight. Don't worry about my salamander, I caught him in the wild in a colder environment which is the natural temp for him. He is a california slender salamander who only grows to about 3inches and he is only 1-1/2 inches right now. He's very happy...but I'm still going to put him back since I don't have time to take care of him.

Anyways, glad you love my baby girl! I'm off to go look for names! :D
