Ladies and gentlebeens, may I present...

...Frankie.









Frankie is my test fish for the behavioral modification section of Companion Animal. I'm going to be teaching him to come to the surface for food when I tap on the glass.

I've wanted a fish for a while, and this just gave me an excuse to finally go and get one. Frankie is currently in my room, but once he's settled in and used to his new tank, I may move him to the living room so random can also enjoy his fishy fishiness. :3

I was gonna say, if you want to teach him to flare, get a little Clickable Eraser, for some reason, bettas flare like CRAZY at those things!

Man, this makes me miss Nani and Cap'n. I had Nani taught to come to the surface for 'snuggles' (I would actually pet him) and I managed to train them both to come to the surface to get baby spiders I'd kill for them. Bettas are FUN.

I remember you showing me pictures of Cap'n. :3

They are the best fish. They're surprisingly interactive for supposedly "loner" fishies.

Ahahaha, spider snacks! I should probably get some brine shrimp for this little guy. He only has pellet food, atm.

He was such a good fishie. ;_; Not as friendly as Nani, though. The red ones are more active, I've found.

Wait'll the warmer months. Tiny insects that get inside make the most wonderful snacks for them. Once Cap'n ate an entire canal fly! O_O

Just don't get him flake anything--Cap'n got extremely offended by flake food. @_@

Clearly, Sparky needs another fish. *innocent*
