Welcome our new fishie!

An impulse buy based on some faulty information has led to a new member of our family: Badgely Fiscka the beta. It was a rough first week, he wouldn't eat and we found out his water was too cold and his tank is too small. J lived in fear that the poor fellow would die and leave us to explain death to our two year-old (who picked out Badgely specifically). But we've learned what we need to care for him properly and he's adjusted to his new surroundings; he's now eating three enthusiastic meals a day and is very active in his (still too small) tank. Blowing lots of happy fishie bubbles. We've all really been delighted by him and have fallen in love. He will be getting a larger, more efficient tank in a couple weeks and maybe some live food later today. With proper care, and assuming he was not sick when we got him, he should live at least a few years and up to eight.

Welcome Badgely!
