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?
