Reminder to all: Keep away from mirrors!
Bettas are known by a few different names. Chinese Fighting Fish, Male Betta, Simese (SP?) fighting fish to name a few. Betta is the classification of species these fish are in.

funny you say to keep away from mirrors cause at the shop the sides of the tanks are refelected off the other tanks which in effects makes a mirror to the sides of the tanks and watching the bettas just crack me up. they will stay towards the sides of the tanks seeing themselves and you can see thier gills puffing out like they do when they are getting ready to fight another one.

They are pretty cool fish, Altho my favorite is still the stingray.

Next would be the pencil fish only this one particular one not the breed because he was a lone suvivor of of the 10 we had gotten.
