   • Hi Payton,

     Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. And hey cool name, Neptune, a Roman God no less!

7. I bought a gorgeous crimson red Beta at the beginning of the Chinese year of the Rooster. I called him Rooster and it suited him. When he got excited to see me, he would dart around flaring his lovely red combs. Sadly, I lost Rooster last night. I finally figured out he had swim bladder disease and brought home medication for him but it was too late. I will definitely recognize the signs if it ever happens again.

26. I got a betta fish today for the first time since I was a kindergartner. He’s a little grey thing who was marked down from $20 like all the others to $3… felt bad for him. Named him Dr. T.J. Eckleburg after the billboard in the great gatsby. I’m calling him Doc and TJ for short

    • A very unique name, love it 🙂

27. I am geting a red and black dragon betta and i don’t know what to name it

28. maybe taco or Eclipse or Pepsi?

29. I got a male Black Orchid Beta and he’s black and white with a blue tint when he’s in certain light and he has a red little strip on his top fin. I decided to name him Diablo.

30. I had a betta that was crimson red and royal blue. I named him Mushu after the dragon character in Mulan. It fit him great: he was flamboyant and very comical. He and my lovebird, Ice Crystal (who’s also gone), were best buds. She liked to sit on the edge of his tank, and he’d come up to the surface and start “blowing kisses” at her.

31. I love the list my friend and I have been searching for a name for a while, thank you!

32. I love the name Esther. Unfortuanatley, I have a boy betta. I was going to name mine Sapphire, but instead I though of Dolak. It is a name from one of my favorite shows. Doctor who. Great names, though!

33. I named my blue betta fish male and I named him ? rocket

34. i think you should add river to the blue fish names thats what i named mine after looking at this website because it is on the top picture

    • Hi Jas,

      Thank you, have updated it just now. Good name choice by the way 🙂

35. My daughter named her red and blue betta Ironman and we had a pink dumbo named Kirby. I’ve been having a tough time naming our girl right now, she’s got a lot of spunk and personality and she’s a pretty koi that’s turning blue, I’m thinking about naming her Xena.

    • LOVE the name ironman for a red and blue. My son named a hamster blue power ranger many years ago!. (No, the hamster wasn’t blue, lol.)

36. I have a solid blue giant plakat & I called him Krishna (or Kris), If you googling with the key word Krishna you’ll know why…=)

37. I’ve has my royal blue Betta for a week now and still cant think of a name. Her face is masked with black and her lips are royal blue too. She likes to zoom around the fish tank. She’s Spirites, if one of my three tetras swims in her way she will stop for them to go first! What manners! I like the name Ellie but she doest look like an Ellie. I also like the name Sapphire Shadows. Because in different lights she looks black and purple!

38. the name fluffy is very cute hey!!!!!

39. I had a red which I named Cinnamon and a blue one I named China! Just bought another red one and have not named him yet, I would like to add that the red betta’s if you have patience have a personality that is great , in couple days he watch’s me in kitchen, knows his feeding time! Even comes to top and almost takes from my fingers, such a joy!!!

40. i have a blue female beta and non of the names really fit you know what i mean

    • I know how you feel, it can be very hard to find just the right one. Try checking out baby name lists, there are endless ones online, with many tens of thousands of names. Hopefully something will pop out to you!

41. We got a rescue fish that was found in the shipping box for 7 days. Water almost gone and of course had not been fed. He is doing great in his new tank and seems to be thriving. He is a darkish blue body with mustard color plumage. There was a scrap of paper inside the box that said he is a rare Yellow Mustard Betta. Having trouble naming him. What something not cutsy since he survived so much, but easy to remember and say. I have looked through the names and nothing jumps out. Never had a Betta before so learning quickly!

42. After reading all the comments and your name suggestions, I got a name for my Betta fish…. Krishna. Thanks a lot.
