Mildly Surprised!

I thought since I always seem to be downgrading the large pet store chains I'd give one a compliment for a change. One that I frequent for tank supplies but not for Bettas actually had upgraded their stock. Normally they only have male & female v/t's and a few dogged looking c/t's.

Was I ever surprised to see that there was the above mentioned plus kings, d/t's, deltas and even a few h/m's. I hate to admit it but I saw my first c/t females also! There were several that I considered worth purchasing especially a lemon yellow male h/m.

Let me add that my first v/t who went on ahead of me was purchased there before I even had a clue! The water look good in the cups (still using) and the Bettas seem bored but lively enough for a change. It was nice to see an improvement and I hope it continues for the sake of the fish!

Sounds good, hopefully it'll stay looking good (for cups!) I only recently saw a CT female when i bought 3 of my own they are very beautiful, i have to admit!

Sounds like you've got a good range now too, wish i did. I'd have snapped up the lemon yellow male hm.

I really didn't have a legitimate place for him(the Lemon). I suppose I could have kept him in a tumbler! Just kidding! I do have 1.5gl(?) Betta solitary confinement tank someone gave me, but I'm resisting using until absolutely
necessary. Maybe for that time I just can't or won't resist.

Hoping to pick up a complete used 10gl. set up with an API test kit and some medications. This is another post for later though!

oh cant wait to see if you do get a 10gl setup

I have one now which I plan on dividing for my two c/t's as one is in a 2.5gl hex and I want to provide better housing for him.

If the other one pans out I'll divide it too. Then I will keep an eye out for possibly a h/m and maybe a hmpt. Not lock in until I actually buy them. Never know what one will come up with. Especially me! lol!

Sounds great,
im thinking of switching tanks with my sorority and my boys!

They tend to keep you busy! Maybe in a 6 months or so I'll have what I want for the moment. I haven't figured out if one is ever really satisfied!
