Cinderella our new fish!

Today we got a new fish its a beta fish. She is a white female beta and very well behaved and calm even though betas are known for their tempers. Since she is very pretty and white and glimmers in the sun we thought of some names that went with that we thought of; sparkle, blanca, star, luna, zigi and cinderella which we eventually named our fish! We actually has a cinderella miniture glass slipper but we misplaced it somewhere and it might take a while to find it! We are very excited to have a "new member" of our family and hope that she lasts very long. Usually female beta fishes last 4 years or more if you take good care of them. We knew a lady who had a beta fish and it lasted very long simply because she used very good filtered water so we are going to try to do that and hopefully it will pay off! She is expected to grow to about 2 1/2 inches but she's in a relatively small round fish bowl. So were not sure if she's going to grow that long. Right now she is about 1 inch. At this particular moment we can't quite load pictures of her but as soon as we can we will!
