Regular Member SynthHermit Posted March 16, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 I walked into a lfs after picking up my instrument, just to check out their price on the Emperor 280 filter. ($20 cheaper than the place in town.) Naturally I had to look through the bettas, since last time I was there, the guy who owned the place said he'd be getting a new "shipment" in a few weeks (He goes to Jersey and picks them all out himself.). Once I got past the dragons, boom. My eyes fell upon this guy,and I knew he was coming home with me. As some of you may recall, I mentioned in a previous thread about my dream betta being an orange or yellow. Meet Clemens, my mostly orange betta! I am so beyond excited about finding him. I don't even care that he's not all orange.I think his clear/white tail fins make him more interesting. His new home: Those rocks are pieces of colored glass I found in the attic that my dad had used in his tanks. They're all arranged in a way to make little caves under them for the shrimp I plan on getting. I'm so happy. Going to go release him into his new home now! No more bags for him. <3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member scrappinjaime Posted March 16, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 He's very beautiful, I think I would have had to bring him home also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SynthHermit Posted March 16, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 :3 I think he's starting to recognize me already. Everytime I walk over near the tank,he turns around and looks at me. Doesn't come over to me yet,though. Now that I finally figured out how to turn down the flow on the filter, I'm sure he'll be much happier. I'll probably have more pictures later today, of both Clemens and my mom's betta, Blackbeard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member SynthHermit Posted March 16, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks. He's already much better off than my previous bettas. He's currently got the 10G all to himself,heated up to a nice 80*. Can't wait until I have everything to redecorate the tank the way I want it ,and until I get some friends for him. Cherry Shrimp and 1-2 Ramshorns are currently on the to-add list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ashlee18 Posted March 16, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 Congrats! And he is beautiful. Have you had ramshorn snails before? 1 or 2 turns in 12 in a week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SynthHermit Posted March 16, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 16, 2012 =o No, I've only ever had a mystery snail. I heard that the ramshorns didn't get very big,and that they would eat the brown bits off of live plants,so I was leaning towards them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shellbell4ever Posted March 17, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted March 17, 2012 Gorgeous new guy Congrats looking forward to seeing how he colors up after being in a nice big tank maybe a couple of nitrite snails will be a better choice they don't breed in freshwater lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
