Help me name my Delta Tail Betta

Posted by Sarah on July 11, 2008

I got a beautiful Delta Tail Male Betta the day before yesterday, and I still can’t think of a good name for him.

The problem is that he’s so pretty that I keep thinking of girly names, like Dragonfly, or Firefly.

We got him as a friend for the black crowntail betta that I got on Saturday, who I named Shadow. I was so excited when I saw a black betta in the store that I had to get him.

And of course he needs a friend, right?

Right now both bettas are in separate tanks on my desk- it’s so much fun to see them both swimming around while I’m working.

Shadow is in a 2 gallon tank with a moss ball and a cave, and the unnamed betta is in a 1 gallon tank with a plant.

I do have a divider put up so they can’t see each other all of the time, I don’t want to stress them out too much.

What do you think I should name the unnamed betta?

Jeff has voted for Boxer as in Shadow Boxer, but I don’t like that.

Any suggestions?

I was a very bad girl

Ok, Jeff was a very bad boy.

We went out to buy some filters today, and ended up coming home with another betta from The Tropical Fish Shoppe.

He really is beautiful – he’s an iridescent green with hints of lavendar.

We decided to put him in the planted tank, since we already have bettas in our other community tanks.

He’s a little shy now, but he seems to be doing well in his new home.

He swam away pretty fast when the cories came over to visit though.

Here’s a picture of him in his new home (without a flash):

And here’s one with the flash:

Isn’t he beautiful?

And I was just thinking I needed to get rid of the betta spa and betta fry starter…

I don’t know if I’ll try to breed him yet though, I guess it depends on how things go with the other fish we’re supposed to get.

I just don’t know where I’d put a bunch of jars of male bettas, and I’d have to wait for warmer weather so they wouldn’t be too cold in the jars.

Anyways, Jeff says he’s going to name the new betta Northern Lights, but I don’t know if he’s serious.

What do you think would be a good name for him?
