Fish-sitiing

I am the proud babysitter of one very pretty Beta fish. His name is “Alpha”, how cute is that? My friend J is going to Japan for a couple of weeks, so I agreed to watch him. I’m already loving him. As you can see, I couldn’t really get a great picture of him. He tends to hide in the little grass most of the time, but every once in a while, he comes to the front of the tank to say hello.

Fish are so cool, and the fact that you can have one who is content to live in a small enough tank to sit on your desk? I love it. I just hope I can keep him healthy and happy while J is in Tokyo, hopefully having the time of her life. I’ll try to get some better pictures of Alpha this week as we become more acquainted.
