	New Marble Betta
Hooktor Fish Addict Posts: 646 Kudos: 651 Votes: 67 Registered: 22-Mar-2004	So of course i went to petco today to just buy some supplies, but do you think i could walk out of there without a fish? Since losing my old betta boy a week ago, i bought another betta. I think it is a veiltail, nothing special but it is a gorgeous purple and white marble! He is so cute! Any name suggestions? I have two empty tanks, would he prefer a 2 gallon hexagon tank or 2 gallon rectangular tank? Last edited by Hooktor at 27-May-2005 19:11

I find the longer the tank the better.... and call him ELVIS ___________________________________________ If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished.

Since buying my first one in many years about 2 months ago, have been wanting more. Just found a 2.5 gallon mini-bow at the local thrift store for $4 so guess what, setting it up for another betta.
