Chloe meeting her new Betta Fish "Friend"

I bought a betta fish at the pet store today, I have been planning on getting one for a while now. His name is Bubbles Bubbles is still in his tiny little pet store container, I'm waiting for the water temperature in his 1.5 gallon tank to adjust, I'll put him in there tomorrow night.


"Is this my new drinking bowl?"


"You look yummy."


"Wanna play?"

Did the beta puff up in attack stance when he saw your kitty? I used to have a beta and my step-sister would put up a mirror next to it to get it to attack its reflection. I had another one years later but it jumped out its tank while I was out at a barbecue and well... died. (Darn kamikaze fish! )

Nope, but it could just be that he doesn't have enough room in his little temporary home. I've only ever had Betta fish, I really like them. My SO and I are putting a tank in the kitchen with neon tetras and I want a little African Dwarf Frog (they don't need land), and that led me to deciding I needed a desk buddy tpp. (At least, a desk buddy that doesn't try to sleep on my laptop, like Chloe! ) Bettas do try to jump out of their tanks, it's a good thing mine has a lid (which was necessary anyway because of the cats).

Cute pictures!
