He was Alex's birthday gift from the two of us (we thought it was a fitting present considering the party's theme). He's a beta fish, also known as Siamese Fighting Fish, and doesn't like company (which takes care of any future "I want another fish" conversations).When I was in college I had (and killed) several beta fish. But despite my previous track record, they're actually quite fun! If they see another male (or a reflection of themselves, thinking it's another male), they'll spread their fins in display - similar to a peacock. And when they're happy ... they make bubbles! It's really cute to look in the little bowl and see bubbles floating on top - it's like a mini-bubble bath!

I had several red beta fish. The one jumped out of the bowl. It was gross. I thought he was hiding and then the next day realized he had jumped out of the bowl and flopped across the floor until he was behind the entertainment center. It was a sad day.
at least you realized it the next day, rather than a month later after he became petrified.
