My new pet baby

Post by moonraingirl »

Meet my new baby betta Bystrík!
I got him in a chain petstore in an ugly inhumane cup. There were more of them on the shelf and I wanted to rescue everyone but I couldn't. And if I got more of them they would order more, so it would be pointless anyway.
So, here he is, in his new 25litres aquarium (6.6 US gallons, 5.5 UK gallons). It's heated and filtered (see the diy filter at the back?, did it acording to yt video :p). His favourite place is near the heater. I'm sure the poor thing was freezing in that store cup and now he can't have enough of warmth :fairy:

His name is Bystrík. It is an old Slavic name that is not used often anymore. It has two meanings.
bystrý means smart, clever
bystrý is also an adjective used to describe pure, pristine water, especially when describing a stream in the mountains

letter "k" is used to form a deminutive. When it is at the end of a word, it signifies that it is something lovely, cute or dear to you :)

As you can see, he's still young and he should grow and maybe change colors. Although I love his current color- it changes from pink to blue as light shines differently on him :)

If you want to look at him, I made an album. Hope you will be able to see it https://goo.gl/photos/KoN34iDr2N2cYzx7A

Oh, I'll have a look at it when I'm on laptop. The problem is that the photos are too large and can't be posted on the forum.

Thank you :-) you said you have fish, too, will you share pics?
This is an invitation for everyone to share their pets other than cats who have their own thread :-)

These are my fish babies. I didn't name them, because I can't differentiate between the ones of the same species (I know, shame on me!)
I can't get a good photo...they are very energic and keep moving around :lol:

They are 3 Xypho, 3 Molly, 10 Neons, and 4 Sanitärs.( 2 of one kind, 2 of another).
My favourites are the two Sanitärs that put their mouths on the glass and seem to devour it. They are hilarious!

The colours make me happy too. Yes, it's Eheim; all items have that label.
I can't remember how big it is....maybe 12-16l
