Sorry folks, he's not a puppy. Introducing Patriot! He is a Crowntail Beta. Leonard bought him for me since we lost Frosty during the ice storm due to lack of heat. My friend, Julie, has a friend who is a fish enthusiast. He told her that most Betas sold are 6 months old. Seeing him in Frosty's 2.5 gallon tank, I can see that he is still a juvenile. He should be very impressive when grown.
This is a very bad picture of Frosty, but it is the best I had. I was incorrect on how long we had him. Going by my photo records, we bought him in August 2005, not 2004. So he was probably 3 yrs 10 months when we lost him. I guess he still had a good life for a Beta. I miss him... We may have to set up a second Beta tank and bring home another white.
welcome to your new addition!! hoping he adjusts well to his new home
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
betty
Great name for your Beta. I'd get another one too if I could keep him somewhere warm in the house. Your blog is looking great.
ReplyDeleteYour Blog looks awesome. I love how you change the backgrounds for the seasons/holidays. I'm still a "tard" with my blog.
ReplyDeleteBetas are beautiful fish...! :) Patriot is lovely, and a wonderful new addition that you won't have to scoop up after as often ;-)
