Just wanted to show off my betta! Her name is Selena (after the asteroid), and she’s still really tiny—I think she'll grow (since I have the same kind, but adult, named Capella). Plus, Selena has big eyes and a small body—you can tell she’s still a baby!
Here Capella and Selena together
Actually, I have three bettas in my tank. It’s big enough for them, so they don’t fight. And their temperament is surprisingly peaceful for bettas. They’re quite active, so it’s hard for me to get a sharp photo, especially when they’re together—but I do have a few.
About those white spots in the water—those are filter bubbles. Speaking of the filter, Selena and Capella absolutely love riding it. It’s positioned so the flow goes only one way (so the water stays calm on the other side of the tank). They swim over on purpose and let the current toss them up, and when they get tired, they drift off to the side where there’s no flow.
I said I have three bettas, but I showed only two. Here's third one
The thing is, I still haven't come up with a name for her, so I've been calling her "the blue one" all this time. I've always named every fish I've ever had after astronomical objects—asteroids, constellations, stars. I once had Cassiopeia, Lyra, Vega, Vesta. Now I have Capella, Selena
I just ran out of names...
Of course, I did think about naming her Juno, but I felt she needed something more "bitey" because of her sharp fin shape (she is crowntail betta). So for now she remains nameless—and this "for now" has already been going on for many weeks...
