New Fishie

[skroberts]

This is Mike, my new Betta. He's named after my current Discovery Channel crush. *g*

He is a spunky little fish. Despite how he may seem in this photo, he's actually pretty small, about half the size Jubal was. I guess he's a baby. I got him as a new friend for Jubal, but my poor boy never got to know him. *sigh* Anyway, he seems to like his new home as he's build a HUGE bubble nest. :)

Welcome to the family, Mike.

I had a betta for 6 years at my last job! It made coming to work so much more pleasant. :) I kept Illyria in a fairly good sized fish bowl which had a little castle in which she loved to take naps. She was super friendly, would always watch me work, and loved to chase my finger around the side of the bowl. She was very popular and coworkers would always stop by to say hi to her. :) She was very easy to care for. I cleaned the bowl once a week. I would give her a couple extra food pellets on Friday afternoon and she would last just fine over the weekend. If I was gone for vaca or other extended time, I would just bring her home with me or take her over to a coworkers desk to fishy-sit.

I miss her horribly...may she rest in peace.

So yeah...my point was...I highly recommend a fishy companion at work! :)
