In need of a cheer and a name :((

[senemedar]

Unfortunately after a few months one of my Long-Armed Shrimps had died tonight
What makes it worse, it was the bigger, transparent one I loved the most In the meantime I parted with his mate because they were fighting constantly, so all of sudden I ended up with a empty, fully cycled 25l tank.

So, to cheer me up my wife has bought me a male Fighter with a beautiful blue veils! All I need now is to have a name for him, and a mate or two. I was thinking about something feeding on the bottom to clean the gravel - sucking loach maybe? Maybe something else would go into a 6 gallon tank with my fighter?

Snail or shrimp, I wouldn't really put anything else in a tank that size tbh.

I'm sure someone will post a counter argument lol!

 

[Hholly]

Some pigmy cory cats would probably be good. My Betta is named Samurai because his fins remind me of silk. Good luck with yours!

I've just read that they like a slightly higher temp of 28-29 centigrades so I've turned it up. Also, I've noticed that he loves to squeeze through a tight spaces like the back of a filter or a leaves of the plants - is that normal, or he's just stressed out?

 

[Hholly]

No, mine likes to squeeze through tight spaces too. They are very inquisitive fish.

Lol! It's good to know he's all-right
I've turned up the heat to 27 degrees (around 81 for a non-metric of us ) and added my zebra Nerite snail to keep him company.
Now all I need is a name!

He's gorgeous! Did you come up with a name?

 

[GuppyLover]

Wow!! Hes absolutely stunning!

 

[senemedar]

No name yet, still waiting for ideas
Also-- can/should I give him more company than just zebra snail?

 

[missie]

bluebell came to mind...lol

 

[GuppyLover]

You could try some shrimp, just beware he might eat them. Give them plenty of cover.

 

[Mumma.of.two]

He has a gorgeous color!!
What about cobalt or denim?

 

[tarpon]

+1 on bloo lol

I always find it hard to name animals so I let my Gf do it.

My blue Betta was called "fluffy" :/
