My Betta Fish Poseidon

25 June 2010 24 Comments

This is my Betta fish that I have had for 2 years and 3 months, Posiedon. I just upgraded him into this cool aquarium, a Marineland Eclipse system 3 (3 gallons), from a 6 inch wide bowl and so far he loves it. He must be camera shy because he wasn't moving much in the video, but he is usually all over the place. enjoy the video :) Oh and if your wondering about the mario backround, that is just temperary until I can get a cool new, tropical bacround paper.

    Nice name for the fish..

    And I have to say, I like that color!

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    Yeah one day in class we were learning about Greek Mythology and the name just came to me!

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    thank you. :)

  • Iodine24 said:

    Yes, I remember that name from my Latin class?

    Do you know the story behind it?

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    No, I don’t believe I do.

    Very nice betta!

    I thought about naming my fish Poseidon;

    But I thought Jim would fit better =P

    Also, I just got a red & black male betta, and named him Ares; just thought you should know, they’re both names of gods or something =P

    -Don

    Jim? Lol, yeah posiedon was a perfect name because its the “god of the seas” or sumthin.

  • henryl1191 said:

    posiedon is such a good name i was going to get 2 bettas( in seperate bowls) and name one posiedon and ares, like a red and blue betta

    very nice tank!

  • bob12321231 said:

    nice tank, love the back ground lol

  • kutirkiutsangat said:

    i think the tank is too big for such a small fish. and the decoration doesn’t look natural to me. but still, this is a cool video. i have 5 betas at home. none of them has name :)

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    Well… Maybe ovr the summer I’ll put in real plants, that might be cool, but it could be tough to maintain. I’ll have to look into that.

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    Last month I got 3 new fish and two real plants in my tank. I made a video and hopefully I will upload it soon.

  • ffsyn said:

    wow, i had the same tank and it would develop algae in a couple days.

  • vrpk7 said:

    I love your backdrop, it beats my piece of construction paper to a wet pulp.

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    lol, thanks.

  • Somethinzfishy said:

    Compliments on the video! Contrary to popular myth bettas do not do well at all in such small containers as the well known betta bowls. There’s no room and the environment sours quickly so when you see someone concerned enough to devote a few gallons to these guys…it’s cool. Even with bettas..there is no such thing as too big so the fact that your devoting at least a few gallons to Posiedon shows you care ! Nicely done!

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    thanks, my fishes do love this tank.

  • boardoffingers said:

    if youre naming your beautiful betta fish after the god than it would be spelled poseidon

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    k thanks ill change it

  • tonacolorado said:

    How cute! I have a quick question – did you find the current from the filter was too much for him? Or is that just one of those things aquarists worry too much about? :o) Thanks!

  • BeTaFiShRkOoL said:

    @tonacolorado Oh the current is fine for bettas

  • weirdsall said:

    omg my betts looks just like that and he has the same name
