Regular Member mjfromga Posted September 1, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted September 1, 2017 Went to Walmart. Did a grand job of not getting a goldfish. Waiting for show. Might find pretty fish. But I saw a sad little dude. He was bottom sitting and listing to the side a bit. But when I came up to him he said HI! I ended up getting him. I already love him and want to care for him well. I've never had a Betta and not too well versed on them. Surprisingly, he perked up a ton while floating in his cup and then released. His name is Novae (NO - VAH - YAY) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mjfromga Posted September 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 2, 2017 Thanks ladies. Maybe I can keep him healthy. He was the smallest one there. Not a happy looking guy but much better now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mjfromga Posted September 3, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 3, 2017 He's doing pretty well. Definitely coming out of his shell. He was the smallest Betta by far so makes sense that he is young. I really like this little man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mjfromga Posted September 3, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 3, 2017 He's hard to photograph, much harder than goldies. I'll have to get out my camera and try again. Everything came out POTATO quality on my phone. I put another thermometer beside the digital one just to make sure the temps matched to ensure his tank stays the right temp. Crushed up some of the goldies treats to feed him too. He liked those. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helper FishyMandy Posted September 4, 2017 Helper Share Posted September 4, 2017 He's beautiful. I always find bettas a lot harder to photograph than my goldies too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mjfromga Posted September 4, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 4, 2017 I can't get any photos of him... But boy is he cute. I think he's trying to learn how to flare. He's clearly a baby because he was so wee. Omg it's adorable. Look at his little pectorals waggle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mjfromga Posted September 16, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 16, 2017 Cute little dude has quite the personality. Can't get any photos.

Regular Member mjfromga Posted October 28, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 28, 2017 Here he is today. Moved him to a non leaky tank and up into my room. He's doing just fine. Little monster he is. His fins really are too heavy for him but he manages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin koko Posted October 29, 2017 Admin Share Posted October 29, 2017 He looks so happy in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mjfromga Posted April 14, 2018 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Here he is today. His tank has some diatoms... Mostly on his bowl. I have cleaned it (note how it's crooked) but it keeps returning... I want to remove the bowl entirely but Novae still loves it so I just left the grimy thing.
