Natash My New Female Betta

How do you tell whether the Betta you are having is a male or female one? Quite easy, male Betta fish is more beautiful with large flowing fins and brilliant colors. The female Betta fish will have small fins and will be dull in color. In the animal kingdom almost always the male member of the species is more beautiful and attractive than the female one. In birds always the male is the more attractive one. Just imagine the roosters, the peacocks, the lions, the Indian elephant. I forgot say that even human beings belong to animal kingdom.

Coming back to Betta fish, the male one of this species is many times more attractive than the female Betta. But recently I have bought a female Betta fish which I forgot to blog about. I bought this one not for Betta breeding purpose but this one surprisingly is very brilliant both in colors and activity and also has a brilliant brain of its own. I will try to put a photograph of this one if possible very soon.

You know that I have the habit of naming my Betta fishes with quaint names. I tried but failed to name this one because it was so different from the rest of the female Betta fishes. Sadly yesterday one of my favorite actresses had died, who was a beauty with brains. Natasha Richardson, I named this female Betta after her Natash.

THE BEST WAY TO NAME YOUR BETTA FISH

Recently I brought home a new betta fish to be a part of our family. Sorry folks I forgot to mention that one of my bettas Bob has died a couple of days before. What ever may be the our knowledge of these fishes and their lives and in spite of all the best scientific best knowledge, some how our bettas die, and that happens to my betta fish also. So I brought a new betta fish as our family member and need to name him.

Betta fish are also known as fighting fish as they fight to death protecting their territory. Though they are very aggressive fish, having many of them all these years I found out that they differ in their personalities from one and other every much. You can find this when you have more than one betta fish with you.

Before identifying this kind of personality and character differences in my betta fish, I use to name them with names mostly suited to fish like Chip, Chap, Bubble etc. But once I got to know their unique personalities, I started giving the names of the persons whom I know to have similar personalities. Bob was a quiet guy keeping to himself and never use bother about anything almost lethargic only until moved closure to another betta fish.

So friends, try this method if naming the fish. You would love this and feel more like having a real family member.
