aquariumEver since I first went to my childhood doctor’s office and saw the large aquarium filled with colorful fish and plants in the waiting room, I’ve loved them. Living in an apartment with a roommate who already has a small dog, I wanted a pet of my own. Something that wouldn’t be hard to take care of but at the same time added some life to our place. I decided to buy a small aquarium online for a Betta fish. I started out with multiple Betta fish but a one of them died and I never replaced him.

Who I call Big Blue is floating around the small aquarium on my bedroom dresser right now. He survived a move to another apartment and has never been sick. Not sure why he is so much stronger willed then the last one but that is I guess how it goes. He is an electric blue, with dark markings and sharp looking fins. For such a small aquarium, it still calls for weekly cleanings, not to mention feeding and making sure everything is all right in there. It makes me very happy I did not buy a dog.
