Well, she lived a good life.
A longer life than I expected her to. We have had her for 2 years so she lived a total of right at 3 since she was with Camille before she gave her to Lily because they were moving to Texas. That is pretty long for Beta fish!
I just loved her personality. She would literally come straight up to the bowl and look at me when I would look in on her! She would move with me to each side of the bowl following me everywhere I would go!
She did NOT like have a friend. Poor Bubbles didnt stand a chance when we put her in with her. The saying is that only male Betas fight and are mean and that females enjoy having more than one in a bowl. Well, when we got Bubbles, Rosie was so mean to her. She would attack her and just be mean. It was crazy and sad to watch. Bubbles ended up not living so the queen had the bowl all to herself.
And she loved being queen!
Crazy how a 'memory' pooped up to me about our very last Beta, Sweetie that Alexis had TWELVE years ago!
Crazy to imagine it has been that long but both Sweetie and Rosie died the same week but 12 years difference!
So, Im thinking Rosie will be our last fish................
but it wasnt hard taking care of her and she will always be remembered!
I moved her bowl to our room so I could keep a better watch on her since she was looking sick. Poor girl, she was a fighter! She would still try and swim and move even though she looked so sad.
And, to see this post! Sweetie was a beautiful, HUGE, male Beta. We sat him out on the kitchen island because we didnt have cats, then, to worry with them messing with him. I enjoyed seeing him swim around while I would cook and remember Alexis always loving to talk to him too!
