My beta fish, Foo, got a space "upgrade" today. He moved from his filthy little beta tower into my 2.5 gallon fish tank. He wasted no time in establishing his domain. He immediately started flaring his gills and chasing the poor plecostomus and red-eyed tetras around the tank. It was fun to watch Foo stretch his legs, ahem, fins. It's funny, because I haven't seen a beta that active in a while.
Foo is named after my previous beta Phineas. Foo's full name is "Phineas 2" which I simply reduce to "Foo". Phinny lived to a ripe old age of at least two years when I left him behind in the APU fishtank. When I parted with my dear Phineas, he was having significant difficulty "attacking" his food pellets in stationary water...poor thing.
Foo is young and has his best years ahead of him. Here's to the new king of the tank...and here's to my entertainment watching him. :-)
