My First Pet On My Own
So I have a new fish his name is Streaks and he is a Beta fish. He was very shy when I first got him but at the pet shop he wasn't too lively or too boring so I picked him out of the bunch (plus he is so pretty). Well I bought his a half gallon tank and he has blue and gray rocks with two floating plastics bushes (because they wouldn't stay down) and one large plastic fanned bush of which he likes to swim around or sleep under. When I first got him the pet shop just poured him into a bag (not nicely) and my fish hardly had water to swim in, it was ridiculous! But my Streaks was a trooper and now he has two friends in his tank (a pink glass turtle and a tiny glass blue whale) and he has a multi-colored night light that he loves to watch.

I enjoyed reading your post very much. I am not big fan of fish but something is very touching about Streaks and his shyness. I even began to think about looking for fish in a pet's shop. I have only one problem, I have a cat at home....
ReplyDeleteCats aren't the thing to worry about honestly (unless you have a huge tank or a tank without a lid) cats can be curious but usually once they fail at the first attempt to get the fish they don't do it again. One little beta fish can really light up your room and its fairly easy to take care of all you have to do is feed is a very tiny pinch of food every couple of days. But you have to clean the water every 1.5 weeks
