Smokey Meets Nemo
Sat, Aug 22, 2009
We went to a wedding this summer and as part of the reception table decorations, the couple used Male Betta fish. Being the animal lover that I am, I asked what the plan was for all the fish at the end of the event. “We’re going to flush them down the terlet!” the father said proudly.
Even a little innocent fish doesn’t deserve that fate! I couldn’t take them all but I ended up with one new companion. After getting the little guy home I felt like he needed some friends. Now, I have two fish tanks. My male Betta sits in my office at my part time school social work job. The children love to come in my office and talk to him.
My second larger tank is at home, set up in my hearth room where our family can enjoy the calm and beauty. I’ve taken to placing the Parrot Tower Bird Stands close to the aquarium. Smokey loves it almost as much as he loves his Bird Sitter Video!










Love that picture. We used to have a cockatiel who loved staring at the fish tank.
