	He is gone :(
Light_Bright Moderator Posts: 1156 Kudos: 1403 Votes: 351 Registered: 16-Jan-2002	Well my favorite little guy is gone. I found him yesterday morning. He was one of my first Bettas. Stanley was a cranky ol man who would have been 6 years old next month :#( Light_Bright attached this image: ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Just picked up me first betta this morning. I was lookin for a brilliant blue guy just like yours but the ones at my lfs didn't look too good so I got a bluish/reddish/translucentkinda thing. He's simply gorgeous and doing very well.
