The one I got today at my LFS was $7.99 at the big box stores the ones with his fin/tail shape are a lot more. He's called a half moon betta.
I get the baby Bettas and let them color up.

Well, I shouldn’t have announced when I was coming back on , everyone bailed except Amanda and CB because they were knee deep in bettas and didn’t see my post. Good night nerds and thanks for nothing.

Hey brother, have a great day! I regretfully missed this one, and was probably going to an awesome exchange of music.
Not to worry as I am quite used to disappointment from you.

Looks like a beautiful place to unwind and do some fishing!

Any time I see or hear the word "hyacinth" I cannot but help to think of this song.
(Strange but true tidbit about the song is that the vocals were recorded in the studio bathroom in an attempt to make Jim's voice richer with a slight echo effect.)
