As an embarrassing anecdote, I have become rather caught up in the learning process over at The Bubble Nest. I've owned bettas for about fifteen years now- but there is still so much to learn! I found the site through a concern for my newest baby's (a birthday present from a very understanding sister~ ;p) eating habits...

Finn de Palo is a very beautiful boy, indeed. His coloration is similar to that of an Opal- hence his rendered last name. He has a soft, iridescent body of white and grey that shimmers in the light- his fins are red with tapering bits of blue that are, yet again, iridescent. He works with me in my cubicle and loves it!

He's certainly much flashier than my current betta boy- "the love of my little, fishy life" as I affectionately call him~ ;p Dante has lived with me for two and a half YEARS at this point. I have NEVER had a betta live that long before- and I positively adore him. Yes. I adore a fish. Don't start. It's me.

What has me overly excited is the fact that I will FINALLY be able to set up my fish aquarium soon! I was gifted with a new ten gallon tank two Christmases ago- yet couldn't set it up because I really didn't have a permanent address- at any point I was going to move because of Jenn. But here we are! We finally have an apartment! We're moving! It's time to bring out the fishies!!

And yes, that's one of the top ten reasons why I can't wait to move:

1. Jenn
2. My sweetheart
3. My honey
4. The love of my life
5. The pulse of my heart
6. The most beautiful pisces in the world...
7. Miss-I-always-drive-twenty-miles-over-the-speed-limit
8. My favorite author
9. The hottest Pennsylvanian on the planet
10. Fish
