Death of an Original

Sad News, One of my last two original fish died today. I actually had to euthanize Pink Girl, our female Betta. She was a tough cookie but she was struggling with fish TB and Dropsy. I looked online an found a humane way to end her which involved clove oil to sedate her and then vodka to kill her once she was asleep (just in case you wanted to know how to euthanize a fish).

On a positive note, we were at Wal-Mart and we got a new female Betta and Julie also got a new male Betta. Any suggestions on what to name them? I was thinking of Smirnoff for the girl Betta in remembrance of her predecessor, haha.
