Went down to my lps and bought a betta kit(Only temp) and it came with a betta.

So I came home, washed out the tank, rocks and plant and set everything up. As soon as I put the betta in the water, he sank to the bottom. Made a few pitiful tries at swimming to the top, before sinking back to the bottom never to move again.

I know it wasn't my fault, as my lps takes terrible care of ALL their animals(Example, leaves black dogs in the glass window display with 1 bowl of water on a very hot day. 1 bowl of water for 8 puppies is NOT enough) Any pet bought there is a 50/50 chance that it will die VERY soon.

So I brought him back, I wasn't going to waste my money after all, and got a red veil tail. Named him Alpha. He is swimming happily in his little tank, next to Max(My other betta)

As soon as I can get a good pic, I'll put it up.
