Room 304 of Kramer Hall is now the home of two male bettas who moved in just last night. The white, elusive one with strokes of bluish-purple goes by the name Rory, and is owned by my roommate, Felicia. My slimy friend (oh dear that sounds bad) is a dark blue color mixed with a little black, and goes by the name Akira. YAY PETS!!
You see, my hamster and Felicia's dog are not allowed, and so we have several fake pets, ranging from virtual images (neopets) to a marionette "dog" to plush dogs. While strolling around Wal-mart (our favorite place to shop), we came across a large display of Bettas and decided that since fish were the only pets allowed, we needed some. We suffered from pet withdrawals. We suffer no more.
I'm beginning to think that maybe we should have done some research on the care of these particular animals. I already learned that we were to gradually introduce them to there new water. Well I just kinda dumped them in. Actually, Rory jumped in. Just about missed the container! Akira didn't really want to go in, but seems OK now. Rory is really paranoid, while Akira's like "ya whatever man". Pretty cool fish.
After studying the proper way to care for a betta, we will (hopefully) enjoy them for the rest of the year at least. I'll let you know how it goes.
