My first betta, little guy made me fall in love with bettas. We (somewhat impulsively, though I did have a tank already cycling for something new) rescued him from a disgusting petsmart where he was sitting in a cup half-full of brown water. He was marked down in price and his fins were shredded, so who knows how old he was when we got him. We were on our way home from Breaking Bad trivia, so naturally we named him Walter.
He was very sweet – made lots of bubble nests, and came swimming to the front of the tank whenever someone walked near. He loved resting on the pothos leaves in his planted tank.
He lived with us for just under two years. I wish it could have been longer, but I know we got more time than many do with their big box store rescues.
