Betta: Lars

We went to Petco on Sunday and purchased a red Betta fish and black Betta gravel.

Our original plan had been to buy two goldfish but given their brief lifespans sans filtrated tank, we opted for the longevity of a Betta in a bowl.

I have a vase with three stalks of bamboo purchased from Ikea. The Betta--I named him Lars--now swims in the vase on a black, upside L-shelf D'Souza bought from Linens N' Things.

D'Souza has his heart set on a larger fish tank but I thought it best to start with Lars. He seems to enjoy his new digs, swimming rapidly up and around inside the conditioned water amidst bamboo above glistening gravel. Photos to follow.
