Was browsing in the lfs over the weekend and found this guy that my wife and I couldn't walk away from so we brought him home with us. Please forgive the pics, my first attempts at capturing a moving subject that is under water ]

Named the guy Goldie and right now he is keeping my betta, MotorBoat, company on my desk in a nice 2 gal hex tank. Soon will be moved to the wife's desk as soon as she clears a spot for him.

This is Goldie

There's Goldie! Nice fish. That is a good find.



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

here are a couple pics of my first betta which I have had about four months.

I call him MotorBoat cuz when I first brought him home his pectoral fins were constatly on the move and looked like twin propellers on a power boat So he got tagged with the moniker MotorBoat :%)]

Pretty fish. You said that he's a halfmoon? If he is well then that is an AWSOME find in a LFS. How much did you pay for him?
