Picking out a pet fish

[Vanilla]

Two bettas in one tank is never a good idea. The female are equally as aggressive as males. Even people who work in pet shops wouldn't recommend keeping a male and female together unless you are very experienced. They may still fight and kill each other instead of mating.

Oh really? Pretty extreme way of life

Whoa! Must make reproduction a bit of a sticky wicket.

Yeah, most people that breed them recommend separating them after mating so the males won't kill the female or eat the eggs.

I bought my fish today. Anyone wants to pick a name, write your ideas here.

 

[Cali Cat]

What kind is it? Is it a beta? Male or female?

If it's a male, name him Rocco.

Or, R.J. (for Rocco, Jr.)

I sure he be happy I choose that name. I sure he wants me to choose that name too. Rocco it is. I post photos soon. I want to ensure he eats first. He trying to adapt to his new home. I don't know how long he was in a small cup at the store. He not use to having this much space in his new home.

 

[Cali Cat]

Cool. I'll be looking forward to the photos. Congratulations on your new friend!

 

[The Penguin]

Thanks. He ate so I'm happy now.

Here is my first pictures of my fish Rocco. It hard to get good pictures in fluorescent lighting so tomorrow I take better pictures when I can use natural daylight for lighting.

 

[Cali Cat]

Wow! That's great! Where did you find that set up? It's perfect, and Rocco looks very at home in there.

 

[The Penguin]

I was looking at fish tanks and the penguin was looking at me. You know I never turn down a penguin. To pick the fish, I was watching all of them and pay attention to the one was looking at me. Rocco looked at me for two minutes. He also knew my favorite colour is blue. So I decided I give him a new home. He wished I took a taxi home but I don't have that kind of money so I told him we talking the bus. Too much people for him on the bus so he just looks at me. Once he home, he comments how messy my place is and I need to clean up. I promised him I clean up this weekend. He also told me hurry up on the pictures. He wants to be inside his new home. Finally I setup his home. Took him an hour to get use to his home. Once he understood his home, he knew how to find food. I decided to feed him more. He such a pig. So I decided no more food for tonight.

Type of fish I own is crowntail betta

 

[wyverary]

Awesome! Be sure and feed him betta-specific food...and not too much.

 

[The Penguin]

I know. That why I told him no more food for tonight.

 

[Vanilla]

Haha, awesome! Can't believe you were able to find a penguin cover!

 

[The Penguin]

Haha, awesome! Can't believe you were able to find a penguin cover!

I know. Everything happens for a reason.

 

[Vanilla]

I know. Everything happens for a reason.

Well, I'm glad you were able to find one other

 

[Rocco]

I just saw this! Nice name
A Betta's stomach is about the size of his eyeball for reference. Wait till he builds a bubble best on the surface. Awesome aquarium. Fish are Friends not food, Penguin, no snacking on him.

I asked both of my cats, they insist fish are food.
