Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll go ahead and start with the sad news.. My betta, Gyarados died recently.. It was sudden too..

Now for the new additions:

A couple months ago, I got two African Dwarf Frogs! I only have a picture of one of them right now, but I'll take a picture of the other one and post it tomorrow. The one in this picture currently has no name.. Any name suggestions for him/her?





And today, I got a new betta! He is a half moon and is absolutely beautiful! I got some pictures of him. He wasn't being very cooperative and didn't want to stay still, and then when he was staying still, the camera wouldn't cooperate.. gonk I'll post the best ones I managed to get and will try to get some more later.

Thanks. I do miss him.. I so badly wanted to get at least a picture of him trying to eat the frogs' food from under the breeder box (where Kermit gets fed), but every time I pulled the ipod out, he swam away as if he knew I wanted to get a picture of him doing that (any other time, he would generally stay still when I pulled my ipod out for any reason. XD)

Thanks! biggrin My new betta is quite a character. He's very active and has spent a lot of time flaring at his reflection in the tank. XD He finally ate for the first time for me today! biggrin

They are! I love bettas! My favorites are half moons. biggrin This is my first half moon and I'm so excited to finally get one! And a beautiful one at that! He also seems to love the live plants already! I have seen him swimming around in them. biggrin He also seems to get along with the ottos and the ADFs quite nicely too! biggrin

My first betta was a veiltail. Then I got Gyarados, which was a Super Delta. And now I have this one! I love elephant ears! They are beautiful! Petco (where I got this half moon) had an elephant ear half moon plakat. I don't like the plakats that much though.. I don't know why, but I never really cared for the smaller tails. It also wasn't nearly as beautiful as the half moon I got. I wonder if it is possible to find an elephant ear half moon. XD That would be a beautiful combination! biggrin

I looked them up and found videos of them on Youtube! They are absolutely beautiful! I would probably put something around the intake to weaken the suction a bit or make it so the betta couldn't get his fins stuck in it. I already have my filter baffled, so the flow going in the tank wouldn't be so bad. ^^

I haven't until I was looking up EE-HM and they are beautiful! So are feather tails! biggrin
