THANKS Nossie

It's getting exciting  everybody buying a betta lately.... well, they ARE very decorative fish too, I love Mindemaes bowl with Kitty 

Yeah,
Andrea you can get a friend for Sunshine when you get a bigger tank!!  Hoooray!

I love male bettas when they puff their tail fins all up and look so gorgeous.  I love the irridescent quality of their beautiful fins.  I have the one in the kitty bowl that is mostly shiny blue with red.  He is so gorgeous.
My other one is more of a matt finish on his body but his fins are shiny.  He is just a plain burgundy color but he still is pretty.

When you go betta hunting look for one that will puff out his fins when you tap on the container or ask for a betta pellet and if he grabs the pellet as soon as it is dropped in the container, that is a really good sign that they are healthy.

Hanna & Mindemae: I really really want too. I'm desperate to get another little black moor, they are my favourite But I'm a little scared because Sunshine has been on his own for about 3 years now. How do you think he will react? I don't want to stress him out and how long does a new fish have to be kept separate until you know it's safe to put in your other fish?

Oh and thankyou for the advice Mindemae. I'll definitely try that out I want to get a redish one or a blue one, they are so pretty.

Mabe first another comet for now about the same size like Sunshine.
And if the tank is big enough another couple of black moores.

So they would have their own species as a mate.
What do you think? 

Ah ok. Yes Sunshine is a comet, so getting another one would make sense and I actually really love comets too I don't know if I could find one his size though, they only ever seem to have young fish around here. Would that be ok? Maybe I'll look around for a really big black moor and it can be the boss of Sunshine (in a nice way of course ) Because I'm not to sure about babies. I wouldn't like an over crowded tank and I'm scared of how delicate the babies seem to be. If I'm to get another friend for Sunshine is there any other types you could recommend besides a comet?

Hi Andrea,
Hey I was gonna suggest you check out the shubunkins but Nossie beat me to it!
They have some gorgeous shubunkins.  I had one that had really long fins and was mostly red and black!
My niece came over and fell in love with him so I ended up giving it to her since her goldfish had died.

Kat: Maybe Sonorus is used to staying in the bowl so she's not as... how to say... wild as other similar fish! How nice that they're getting along so well (:

I recommend a quick swimmer like Sunshine is 

Aw you guys have got me sooo **** excited But sadly I'm not getting the new tank till October which means no fishie friends for Sunshine until then
I didn't think about that Nossie, I've had a black moor before and he was a slow little swimmer when compared to Sunshine. I think he also had a deformed mouth though he manged ok
I'll definitely consdier a shubunkin, I'm going to start researching now and asking the fish shop as well because I've never seen any subunkins there. Neither have I seen Oranda's, though I've learnt of Mindemae they need alot of space so I'm not sure if I could provide that once they start to grow.
My heart is still with black moors but I understand why not. Sunshine isn't the quickest eater ever (except when it comes to peas!) and he is actually quite shy compared to other fish I've had. Especially compared to the sound of some of your fish.  So maybe I can still consider a black moor.

-cry- I dont want October to come... means I have to go back to school!!! lol

LOL thats okay! XD

and Kat works too. my whole name is ridiculously long

  oh its unique XD

HAHAHAHA Orandas eat like horses,    ours here they could eat a horse and the jockey with it, lol 
at least they behave as if they could.

Kat, October in Canada is one of the best seasons there and school is easy for you, you're smart 

LOL Hanna! very nice analogy!

Nossie: My name is very very unique XD thats all I ahev to say
