Just a quick picture of Mallory’s birthday fish.
It’s a male betta fish – they are supposedly clean (ie I don’t need to clean the tank every week) and low maintenance (ie I don’t need to clean the tank every other week).
This is actually Julia #2. Julia #1 had some “buoyancy problems” (ie the fish liked to only hang out at the top of the tank) so we returned Julia #1. I was afraid this would be semi-traumatic for Mallory but she rolled with it no problem. I was also afraid of the new fish’s name, because I think Julia is a pretty fun name for a fish, so I was happy that Mallory wanted to name the new fish Julia.
That actual conversation went something like this:
STB: Mal – what will you name your new fish?
MCB (looking at me like I just asked the most ridiculous question in the entire universe): “JULIA!”
Julia’s latest trick is s/he actually likes to hang out in the princess castle.
So cool, especially the lack of necessity to clean every week, or two….. Julie must be a Princess
I apologize. I was sure you misspelled the type of fish that Julia is.
