Re: help me choose a name for my new betta



My pineapple betta's on the way and I'm stumped for names. Photo's attached, check it out. So far, I've got Sponge Bob and Loki (yeah, I know, not exactly Loki-esque, but we're huge Marvel fans here). Any name suggestions from fellow betta enthusiasts?


I think he's got a bit of a flashy vibe ...

Is your tank heated, by the way? I know bettas love warmer water, around 80 degrees or so.
