Today, I introduced a new family member to my cozy house -- a male betta fish. Also known as "fighting fish," these fish are one of those rare pet fish that does not require air pump for breathing making them ideal for someone like me.
Male betta fish are very pretty with their fluttering fins. Here's (terrible) pictures of my companion. Sadly, though he is very beautiful with his perfectly blue scales under good lighting, he doesn't like posing.
I named him Bob, but I nicknamed him Treble, standing for "Triple B", standing for Blue Betta Bob. Welcome to my residence, Treble.
Male Betta are doomed to be lonesome creatures. Once put with another male companion, they fight to death. There are also female Betta (and they do get along with more than one female Betta) but they are not as pretty (...). The males, with their beauty, seduce females and fight other males till death.
Not that I wish to fight anyone to death or have the beauty to seduce anyone, but Treble and I have some similarities. You are doomed to be alone, and so am I.
Here are more pictures of Treble.
