Welcome to the family Sparky!

After we let Fuzzbee go free so he could turn into a moth we decided to take a walk down to Clement and check out the tropical fish store. We knew that we wanted something easy i.e. no tank, filter, water treatments, etc. and we had a pretty bowl at home so we decided to get a little Beta. They keep them in small cups with colored water in it and most of them looked half asleep and a bit tattered but there was one bright red and blue Beta that was big and awake and actually looked happy (if that is possible), he was dancing around the cup and looking right at us. That is our new pet fish!

We brought him home and put him in our cute fish bowl and feed him the special Beta food and he danced around his bowl and looked happy to be here - for the first day, then he started sitting on the bottom of the bowl and not moving much. I had a feeling that it was probably too cold in our house for the little tropical fish so Matt called the store and they said that Beta's hate the cold (our house is extra burrr, always) so we went back and got him and little heater (so much for the simple and easy fish idea) and now we have the happiest little fish in town. He loves his warm water; he really does look like he's dancing around his bowl. Skyler named him Sparky and he gets to feed him breakfast and dinner and take extra great care of his buddy.
