Yes, you're right. We call them Siamese fighting fish, too, but they get called Bettas more often these days - I guess because their actual name is shorter than the popular one!

He's still doing well. Hope he will continue to, and that he'll be big enough to weather it if we get another storm. I was so lucky that the power didn't go out! The babies have to be kept warm, and it's grown chilly after all the rain and wind. If I'm lucky (and if he is!) he should live to be three or four years old - or maybe more. Deirdre had a betta that lived to be five.
