Name the Betta
I got him from a friend who kept him in this vase ( I still do but only until I have he guts to try him in one of my larger tanks)

What should his name be? His top fin is flipped over naturally , it gives him personality lol. Also any safe ways to see if he is safe with other fish? I'd like him in my 55 g
I do know how cruel it is to keep him in this vase , that's why I want to know a safe way to test him

as for seeing if he is safe with other fish if you try him in the tank, do it when you have lots of time to keep an eye on things, like a friday night so you have the weekend to watch the community. if you work on the weekends, than do it on YOUR friday!

What I did was get a empty clean 2 litre bottle and cut some slits in it for the water to pass through the cut the top off and hang it on the inside of the tank so he's in there but separated from the rest and see if he flares at ya other fish ? Mine did so now has his own tank

And as for the name, how about Castiel ? It's from the tv show supernatural and it's the name of an angel and he's kickass !

Acclimate him slowly to the tank, since you've been keeping him in an unfiltered and unheated vase.
If the community tank doesn't work out, you're not sticking him back in that vase, are you?
