My new fella

Puffer Pita · 07-08-2006, 03:19 PM

This is my new guy, currently unnamed (any suggestions?). Sorry for the darkness of the first picture, I haven't got a program right now that can adjust the lighting since I had to reinstall WinXP. He's currently in a 1gal quarantine tank. Its hard to see with the lighting but he's black with white bands on his fins.

Ripley · 07-08-2006, 03:32 PM

He's a nice lookin' boy! Sort of a darker, more uniformed version of my Flik.

Names... I was thinking something like Carbon, Kharben...

Puffer Pita · 07-08-2006, 03:45 PM

Thanks!

For some reason, I keep coming back to Phil.

leafgirl115 · 07-08-2006, 04:56 PM

Try Shadow i like that

Ripley · 07-08-2006, 05:18 PM

I think he can pull off Phil. Go for it!

Puffer Pita · 07-08-2006, 06:27 PM

Yeah, he just "feels" like a Phil. I've never really been fond of cutesy or obvious names. Like people who name their boxers Cassius or Tyson. Can't tell you how many boxers named Tyson I've met.

Ripley · 07-08-2006, 11:58 PM

Haha! I've yet to meet one. Lucky me, eh? I like going for something a bit unique, but not totally 'out there'. Hence, Ripley and Flik. It is funny how animals can 'feel' like a certain name. My mom named our old (she's 14 now, got her as a 6 month old SPCA puppy) dog, Kalypso. It totally fits her, and has since the day we brought her home. Oh, and I got a bit off track there.... Heh...

MaryPa · 07-09-2006, 07:23 AM

He look like " Ink " to me.

That`s a very handsome guy there.

Puffer Pita · 07-09-2006, 08:10 AM

Thanks MaryPa.

Yeah, I like names that are a little unusual. You should see the discussions that go on when I mention my Oscar in a 3 gallon tank. People who don't know me don't know I'm referring to Oscar my betta, not an ocellatus.

They're horrified at first, then laugh when they find out.

Ringo · 07-09-2006, 09:49 AM

nice DT!

whats the bettas personality like? I usally name my fish (i dont name all of my fish, just the ones with good personalities)

Puffer Pita · 07-09-2006, 09:53 AM

Too soon to tell. Here are a few more pictures of him. He's darker than he looks in the pictures, its just cuz of the flash. He seems to be settling in nicely though. The surface is absolutely covered in bubbles.

ladypirate · 07-11-2006, 01:40 AM

He's a very handsome boy! he looks like a montel to me. Im getting 4 betta pairs shipped from thailand next week and I'm so excited, I love getting new kids, when I get them I will post pics to show everyone

|V|][{|-|/\[-|_ · 07-12-2006, 01:32 PM

Wow! He's a beauty, Boxermom! I think he could pull of Phil. If he were mine, I'd go with something like Marius, but nobody's ever accused me of choosing good names.

Puffer Pita · 07-12-2006, 06:46 PM

Thanks.

Phil seems to be settling in nicely. Marius? Umm, no.

Refer to the last half of the last sentence.

Gourami Swami · 07-16-2006, 01:47 PM

wow, where did you order him? hes a beauty!

Puffer Pita · 07-16-2006, 02:00 PM

I've never ordered fish before. I got him at my LFS.

|V|][{|-|/\[-|_ · 07-16-2006, 04:16 PM

Wow! That's quite a find at a LFS! I need to move to Wisconsin!

Puffer Pita · 07-16-2006, 04:20 PM

Yes, you do! We're conveniently located one mile from the sun!
