Back To Square One


Recommended Posts

I know it's only been five weeks since True Blue passed, but I can barely live without a pet anymore. After one long inner debate, I relented on getting another Betta. I just got to make sure this one looks nothing like Blue, or else I'd feel like I'm just replacing him :( so this is Memory Lane, a bright red female veiltail. So far this is the only good pic I have of her. This girl is lightning fast!

So beside a short video, the only pictures I have of Memory are butt pics :shrug: it seems like every time I aim my phone at her she turns around and dashes off. Are all pets like this?? :)

 

EDIT: glad I finally have a girl in the pack. It almost felt weird writing "she".

 

EDIT: Pics

 

Uh, blurry...

Life is so much easier with the tank housing another soul. Mem is nothing like Blue. She's social, gives lots of kisses and as laid-back as a Betta can possibly be. Blue was almost like the scaly version of Diamond sporting two extra features: insatiable appetite and infinite amount of energy. Still, even with all these obvious differences, Mem can remind me of Blue quite a bit. But at least those tears no longer say 'I want Blue back'. Guess I'm glad I decided not to extend the wait :)

So... How do I put this? Memory is, uh... growing golden scales. She already has a pair partially hidden by her gills when I brought her home, but now she has another pair right by her eyes :huh: it's hard to catch on camera, but you'll notice one oddly-colored, shiny, single scale on this photo:

This one is taken just a few minutes ago, showing Mem's new 'golden scale' behind her eyes. Don't think I even need pointers to show you which scale I'm talking about here.

And this is a video I took last night, showing how the shiny scales look in real life. I swear it wasn't blurry on my phone ( :( ) but you'd see them shining during the first and last few seconds.
