FLFishChik Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 So… went to the local Big Box pet store today for some supplies and, well… I came home with a new friend. He needs a name! 2

I’m usually good about avoiding the Betta rack when I go in, but he was so gorgeous and looked healthy and clean, I just couldn’t resist bringing him home! I just have no idea what to name him! 1
lefty o Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 Betta's always look like they are pouting to me, so id call him Grumpy! 1 1
nabokovfan87 Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 Beautiful Betta. Very iridescent. Hm.... Reminds me of this. I vote for "Nova" 1
JJenna Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 What a handsome fish! I'm going to fall back on using translations of the word blue. There is no more elegant language (in my mind at least) than Sindarin, one of the elvish languages from Lord of the Rings. Elu means light blue, and luin means blue. 1 1
JettsPapa Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 While I don't generally name my fish, I've always thought naming one after one of my favorite blues artists, Muddy Waters, would be nice. 2 1
FLFishChik Posted December 19, 2022 Author Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Actually. In honor of all the help @Zenzohas been to me both here and on the ACO Facebook page, I’ve decided to name him Taz (short for Tazawa)! Edited December 19, 2022 by FLFishChik 2 1 1 1

FLFishChik Posted December 20, 2022 Author Posted December 20, 2022 So far, Taz seems to be settling in and getting to know his roommate ( Nerite snail named Dozer). So glad I brought this little dude home! 2 1
PineSong Posted December 20, 2022 Posted December 20, 2022 It is so hard for me to resist bettas at the store, I can relate. Taz is very pretty. He got lucky when you brought him home! 1
smm333 Posted December 20, 2022 Posted December 20, 2022 He's gorgeous! I try to avert my eyes near the betta rack, but last time I glanced over and a baby was staring at me. Our eyes locked and the rest is history, lol! His name is Hutchen- we call him Hutch, because he looks a bit salmon like. It's just so hard to leave a fish store without a new friend! Taz looks like he is happy you found him! 🥰
