long story short i ended up with a new male betta yesterday. he's a lovely white plakat fellow. i've had some health issues recently and i'd like a name with some sort of meaning behind it. something uplifting like hope or something :lol:

any ideas?

our other betta happily lives with some shrimp friends. figured i'd give this a try with the new guy. i'm sorry i put 6 in. he's like a puffer but without the insta-shrimp-killing skills. i wish i could save them :( bummer.

xanadu got me thinking about poetry which got me thinking about my favourite childhood poem, the tyger. i'm starting to consider tyger as a name, this guy is active, bold, he's pacing like a caged tiger (lets hope that stops once he settles in), and boy is he a predator through and through. too bad he's as white as white can be.

i've never liked plakats but he's something else and he is so different from our CT.
