I was at Petco earlier this week, and my local Petco has some very nice bettas, I mean drop dead gorgeous ones. I hardly ever see your standard blue and red veiltails.
But I noticed this guy! Pale pink, he wasn't very active, kinda pitched forward so that he was laying at an angle. I've never seen a pink betta before, so I was intrigued. I couldn't get him at the time, but I promised myself that I would if he was there the next time I went.
Well I went back on Friday, lo and behold he was still there! So I did take him home this time, and he's set up in a 5 gallon tank. He's been way more active, he comes up to the glass when I come by, and his swimming isn't the best but it's loads better than how it looked in the cup.
I sure hope he makes it, I'm curious as to whether or not the pink will stay or if he'll turn red. His body is a whiter color than his fins, especially right on his face.
His name is Abe.
