Cupid

    Merlin passed away a few weeks ago. I was crushed, but he was fat and eating himself to death like Juno. I had been dieting him on bloodworms when Frankie came along. I think the added stress finished him off. I gave him an extra big seashell out in my fish cemetery. Cupid is the perfect Christmas fish. It has taken me this long to get pictures of him because he had been shy. He seems happy now. I had wanted a white Betta, I think they're called opaline, but Cupid is truly golden. I didn't even know that they existed. They had some deluxe Black Orchids like Lennox, but I only pick very healthy and friendly Bettas. They have to want to come home with me. Although I love the fancy Black Orchids, (Lennox is only a basic one), they didn't look too good. Cupid is gorgeous, and was only ten dollars. I find the less I pay for a Betta the healthier they are. Like dogs, the fancy breeds aren't as good. You can learn a lot from fish. It's true, being fat and stressed kills you too.
