Well, you see Leslie and I went to the LFS this afternoon, and the plan was to get some Harlequin Rasboras, and 3 Clown Loaches to solve the snail problem, as well as entertain...

Well, I saw the Clown Loaches, and that was on the list...Then I saw the Harlequin Rasboras, and laughed how they schooled all about the tank...of course before I asked for help I had to look through everything else, and well I managed to convince Leslie to look at the Bettas with me, and it was love at first site

He is so flipping pretty I flipped...I swear I felt like FerretFish must feel at her gymnastic meets, really!!! So I finished looking, and decided that I had to have him...so he and 2 Clown Loaches (1 more on payday) and 6 Harlequin Rasboras came home with me today from the LFS.

So now without further ado I am introducing Kelpiey







Oh I forgot to tell how the housing will now be...Lucky who I need to post about is in the 125 gallon, Kelpiey will be sharing the 10 gallon with my new divider with Surprise. And of course BadBoy will be staying in his own little 2.5 gallon tank hml[/font][/font][/font]

Yeah, but Heidi didn't tell about how she got annoyed because I wouldn't buy another betta. Told her I was holding out for either an opaque pair or mustard gas pair. Told her that maturity was the ability to delay gratification.... She got even more annoyed.

I would describe Kelpie as a lavender cambodian with dark maron fins in a half moon pattern. Really lovely.

Heidi, when are you going to learn. You must control these urges. By the way - a nice looking betta.

Congrats

He looks very similar to my new guy, I just can't get his colors to photograph well ([link=http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Advanced%20Betta%20Care/57096.html?200503281315]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Advanced%20Betta%20Care/57096.html?200503281315" style="COLOR: #FFFF99[/link])

Are you slowly buying that LFS or you just cannot resist a fish if it looks at you.

Oh, agreed! He looked so much more blue in the other picture. I think he's positively stunning now! NICE colors!

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

He is beautiful. I haven't seen a pink toned before.
