New fishy friends
The original plan to stop at Michael's to get some marbles or rocks for my bamboo vase turned into getting two new bettas at Petsmart. I need to go to Petco tomorrow to check out their selection of possible homes for the guys. I have two empty tanks already, but I think I want something slightly bigger.
Petsmart has a ton of bettas, and they were right inside the door. I picked one up that looked kind of pretty, red with a very pale blue iridescent sheen on his body, but his face is red and sort of looks like a mask. It makes him look a little funny, but he was feisty. Behind him was a bright, royal blue guy with red front fins, very pretty and also feisty. I didn't know which one I wanted, so I just got both. Many of the bettas just sit there when you look or pick up the container, but these two were moving and checking me out as well. Very endearing.
So, I'm driving home and wondering what to name them. My bettas' names so far have been Viggo, Sam, Legolas, Frodo, Gimli, Bernard, and Charlie. Gimli and Charlie I still have. Seeing as the previous names have come from my fandoms, I thought I should follow the trend. The name Edward came to mind, and it immediately seemed to fit the red/pale blue betta. Edward, as in Edward Rochester from Jane Eyre, who is not considered handsome but loved just the same. For the blue betta, I'm torn between Darcy and Moby. Moby because I've been listening to my Moby cd for a few weeks now, and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.
Help me with names!
