Meet Harry, my new pet fish.
just splendid!
That's him in these pics, a male half moon betta splendens fish. Because he was an unplanned purchase that day, I ended up having to buy a small aquarium for him right away too. The little tank would be temporary. If he lasts two months, I'll get him a better-sized tank with heater, a filter, and possibly some new companions like neon tetras.
He was just so cute when I saw him because he wasn't a dark blue nor a red-colored fish. He's like a turquoise, teal, or indigo fish. Sometimes blue. Or whatever color the light reflects on him. Actually, his color's like the rainbow's. Lol! So cool. So don't forget to click on the pics to see them in lightbox format and larger too.

So now he's just in his little tank. I'm planning on changing the stones in his tank. I got a couple of turquoise and frosted white glass stones meant for vases. I've now put him in the kitchen and away from sunlight. He goes crazy with sunlight reflecting himself on his tank walls. Like any betta fish, he flares his fins and becomes quite territorial seeing another like-sized fish in his domain, even if it's just a reflection of himself. lol. Decided not to stress out the poor thing the whole day so now he's in the kitchen where I go when I get up, getting ready for work and when I come home from work.
