Default Love my new Betta!

I must say whoever told me to get a betta on here..THANKS! I have had so much fun this last week. He's like a little dog hehe. His name is Chip, because he had quite a chip on his shoulder at the pet store over the other bettas near him, so it stuck. He's so entertaining really, and he looks beautiful when I give him mirror playtime But anyway, I am really glad I got him!

I haven't taken a picture yet but I will tonight and post it. He's a blue one w/ a little reddish/purple coloring. He's beautiful!
Oh yeah and I woke up this morning to a bubble nest I am so excited hehe. Just the other day I said I wished mine would do it, and he did! I'm not gonna breed him but its really cute hehe I wish I could have caught him in the act of making it, but its still really neat!

K we're waiting for that
Chip? Like the nextdoor dog! Ha ha he's black and quite timid. It was real cool when I saw him greeting a long lost friend (well she's been away for long then back) the dog stared at first and 1 1/2 second later he happily greeted the person
Ok, back on bettas... he he

Yeah Chip is pretty silly for a fish, but he is a hilarious fish hehe If I put up a mirror for a while, and let him display he gets so worked up when I take it away. It reminds me of a dog wagging around wanting treats lol I love this fish! So glad I got him. I love my discus but this little guy is probably the most fun thing I've ever had!

Well here's a few choices:
Seymour
Hadley
Murray
Wilson

These sound like old cranky men hehe Plus wilson reminds me of tom hanks being alone on the island talking to that soccer ball lol, and since a betta is alone it made me think of that hehe Good luck!
