The story behind Cletus...

Back in April/May 2007 I was at a local PetCetera store, looking at all the fish. As usual, they weren't being given the best of care. I checked out the betta section, and I noticed there was a new type of betta available -- 'lyretail bettas'. I look at these guys, and I see that all of them are in plastic cups filled with their own waste. Then, I catch sight of a really pale lyretail that had a double-tail. I convinced my mom to buy him for me. When I got to my home, I did my style of accimilating and, he was in the 33 gallon tank, hanging out at the bottom with the java moss forest.

Remember, he was completely pale -- NO COLOURING AT ALL. Now look at the pictures of him below. He recognizes me every time I go to the tank to check on him, and while he stays at the front of the tank to chase my head, the other fish swim away to the back corners. One time I stuck my finger in the tank to move some of the fake plant around... he swam up to it, and stared between the finger, and myself. Man, I love him so much.

I belive that most of your auariums are overstocked, are all 11 babies going to stay in that aquarium or is it a grow out aquarium. I think you need to rethink your 15 gallon setup becuse that is a big load of fish for that small of a aquarium.

Some of the pictures came out blurry... that's it, no more pictures from mom's digital camera. Digital camcorder from now on. xD;
