In the process of rescuing my hubby's cichlid and my plecos (moved them up to a more suitably sized tank), I was left with an 2.5G and 10G - both cycled and sitting there.
So while roaming the LFS I walked past the bettas. I used to work in a pet store, never really liked to see them in the lil' party cups. On a whim (since the 2.5 was all ready cylcled) I "rescued" one from its cup.
A lot of guffaw's and chuckles from the hubby because I bought a kiddy fish. Well I set the fish up in the 2.5G and he was very very happy. But as I looked at my empty 10G I could envision a world where bettas swim happy and live in peace with a group of ottos.
So here he is. My new betta - more exstatic than I have ever seen a fish and my ottos have been feasting and waving at me every time I walk by. I feel good :dance2: Hubby is a convert now, he really likes the betta too. He says he is "pretty".
Happy happy fish.
