Mellowmoon
This observation is based on a beta fish that is labeled as something boring to others. Its been about two weeks since I've started observing my pet fish on four daily basis and as boring as it sounds just watching a fish swim around I've been able to discover new things that happen with nature. While observing Mellowmoon he seems to live a flowingly and calm life underwater, although he seems to fear and have reactions to certain things surrounding his habitat. Mellowmoon is a male beta fish and is a mixture of the colors blue and purple, but in the light his colors become a beautiful turquoise and blue mixture and something even more interesting is that his food is what keeps his colors alive and enhanced. On the second week of observing I decided to add more to his habitat to make this observation a little more interesting so I bought him a house and put some plants. Fishes are creatures that fear almost everything about a human and every time I get near Mellowmoon he hides in his house. At night he uses the plant as a bed and is around the plan most of the time. This has been a slow observation for me but everyday it's something new.

I'm sure the new additions to his habitat not only make your life more interesting but also his. I love your description of colors.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine how beautiful your fish is! I used to have a Beta fish and his name Feather. I named him Feather because every time I would go to feed him his little fin would move smoothly through the waternand as he swam (as any other time he'd swim haha) to the surface of the water his fin looked like a wet feather! He was the color of a bright turquoise blue and vibrant red! It was so heart warming, but unfortunately he passed away. I will definitely be interested in reading more of your blogs and how he's adapting to his new habitat! Is Mellowmoon a boy or a girl?
