No longer am I writing prose in the pursuit of a second job, or even a first job, a new career even. That dream is dead. I'm too analytical. I keep getting ideas and shooting them down in flames long before they hit the page.
But now...but this...but hang on!
To begin at the beginning and not get bogged down in detail - another issue I had with my writing...
A little over two months ago, our eldest daughter asked us to fish sit for her while she moved house. We did. The subjects turned out to be a couple of male Betta Splenden Veil Tails. They were in little bowls with no heaters, no filters, no water change instructions, and gold fish flakes for food.
They didn't last long. But before they shuffled off, we had gained two more: another Veil Tail (VT), and a Crown Tail (CT).
I give you Prime, our first purchase:
Who was quickly followed by Midas:
Midas stole our hearts.
Due to the loss of the first two, and because of the curl in Midas' rays (the long spikey bits of his tail), I decided to do some research into the Siamese Fighting Fish. Now I'm a Betta Splenden breeder and a South American Convict Cichlid breeder (another story we may get to down the track).
On this blog, I intend to keep a track of the daily comings and goings of my fish. I'll keep spawn logs and lots of photos.
I'll try to keep the tags sorted and relevant to make searching for answers easier. If I find a site or magazine of interest, I'll pass it on here.
This is my journey - welcome aboard!
