Betta Splendens

Hello again!
Last night the other two students, Mac and Dan, arrived so Chris has been able to move out and our sitting room returned to us. It was very strange showing them a bit of Hong Kong last night... it reminded me of how long I've been here myself I suppose. Although it's only a month it feels like it could have easily been a year...especially now that I've bought a fishtank and some fish for my room... probably not a good idea because I'm only here for a few months but I'm sure I'll think of something!
I got three rummy-nose tetras and one Siamese fighting fish, bought from a specialist breeder. It took me about an hour to pick which one I wanted but in the end I went for the one that looked the most like a Chinese junk. Quite beautiful!

Betta splendens couldn't be more better or splendid! Meanwhile the home tank is doing OK, although the baby thamnophis aren't thriving, I'm afraid - we're down to just two. Good to hear from you, as ever. Hope you continue to enjoy the allotment.

Enjoy his company while you have him!
