In the beginning...

It was spring of 2007 when I found my new passion, fish. I thought it would be fun/pretty to have a betta on my desk at work. But noooo.... boss wouldn't go for it. I don't blame him, some people may have taken advantage of desktop pets. Imagine brightly colored hamster tubes running up, down and around rows of cubicles... not very professional. However, impatient Sarah did not wait for the negative answer. I went out that night and bought the prettiest little fish in the world. Debbie.
Ok, not the best photo, but she's pretty. Her home was half circle glass bowl(you could push the flat side up against a wall), some glass stones and a stalk of bamboo. She was a bit lathargic for the first few months I had her, as I've heard most bettas are. Then with some research I found out how to give my betta a better life! Bettas are tropical fish, they require a heater. And all fish like clean water. Enter new home. I'd post a pic of that new home, but it's changed so many times over the past 2 years. Basically, it's a 2.5 gallon tank, mini filter and auto shut off heater. The gravel and deco has changed.

She's my happy little girl who's given me a few health scares and many smiles in the past 2 years. I hope for a lot more time with her!
