So... at the end of October last year, my sister got a very unwanted gift in a Halloween: a betta fish. She doesn't like fishes, so she came home and said: "Here. You have a new fish."
I can't say I was especially fond of fishes either. In my experience up to then, fishes don't really do anything. They swim. And ignore everything until it's feeding time. I couldn't just let the critter die, though. So off I went to the care store and got it the very basic minimum for keeping a betta. Half-gallon tank and what came in it: gravel, food, a plant, water conditioner.
I must say, the little critter won my heart. I now got him a much larger tank, a 10-gallon, and he shares it with 5 female bettas (separated from him, of course) and places for them to hide. I'm impressed at how cute and active and curious and smart (for fishes) they are.
So now I keep a little aquarium. So anyone else in the Playground keep fishes? Anyone else like them?
