Back when I lived in San Diego, I owned a fish. Fish, bettas in particular, are one of those pets that require a minimal amount of upkeep. In return, you’re rewarded with happiness. It’s certainly not as much of a joy as owning a dog, but I think there’s a positive effect.

With that in mind, I thought it was time to care for another betta. I picked this little guy up on Monday, and he seems to be pretty happy:

Shadow, my new betta fish

His name, Shadow, is taken from one of my favorite novels by Neil Gaiman. I hope that the name does him justice.

  2. Yay! He’s so pretty! Can a “he” be pretty? I still liked my suggestion of calling him “Alpha.” :)

  3. Rmr the Triops you owned?

  4. Of course, how could I forget them? :)
