I had a really, really large perfectly round bowl...probably 2-3 times the size of a world globe...that I used. No plant...except a small fake one toward the bottom that he could swim around and through...along with a faux shoe to hide in on occasion. :-) There was lots of swishing room in that huge thing. :-) I just couldn't bare to stick him in a tiny vase and it kills me to see them in those little bitty cups at Pet Smart. I loved having a fish in the kitchen...good company while I was cooking. I didn't use bottled water (great idea, though) but, I did put the special stuff in the water that eliminated the chlorine. Great Blue Monday post...brought back lots of memories...and good education for anyone thinking about getting a Betta.Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09655622740971576915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-76160184741759944722009-05-04T22:14:00.000-04:002009-05-04T22:14:00.000-04:00Sally, thanks for your kind comment on my sunroom ...Sally, thanks for your kind comment on my sunroom at Lauries!

So far, the economy hasn't slowed us down....Jacob and I went for a drive around our neighborhood. He's turning into a real good driver. ~ I think that your Blue Beta is a real cutie. I didn't know that they were an aggressive fish - that's why they were kept separated. See you learn something new everyday. Jewels is a befitting name because he is a Jewel. ~ Robynimjacobsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842267107516241617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-16871732189878048672009-05-04T21:46:00.000-04:002009-05-04T21:46:00.000-04:00Happy Blue Monday!

My brother had a couple years ago. I remember he was careful to keep them apart. It is interesting you should not have plants with them. I learned something new.

People think that they can live by eating the roots, but we know that this is not true. They also like not to be cold, and in the North I had a little warm pad set up under the bowl. I hope to start some more blue Monday posts, as I really enjoy them and you have such a fun blog. I have some pretty blue flowers just taking off in my garden, and it will give me something blue to talk about.

I knew I wasn't going to buy them and I looked at so many things and prices. I just remember thinking it wasn't a bad price. Some have said they didn't know Neiman Marcus had an outlet store. I didn't either, but was happy to find it. We have a regular Neiman Marcus close to us, but we rarely ever go into it. I feel like they might even charge me for looking. lol<br />CharlotteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-20378800555712509522009-05-04T18:26:00.000-04:002009-05-04T18:26:00.000-04:00It sounds like you miss Jewels a tad.
