Siamese Fighting Fish

Well well well. Our house now has three new pets... little sqiggley things in tanks that smell like shrimp and that dried fish stick stuff some people (by which I mean, people excluding me) eat at Chinese New Year.

So yep, last Wednesday we went out to City Farmers and bought 5 Betta Fish...or something or other can't really remember scientific name.
1 for Emily
1 for Daniel
1 for Hannah (happy birthday)
1 for Cindy (happy birthday)
and 1 for me!


And they were so named:
Nugget
Hypo!
Robby Patty
Princess Sparkles
and Phoenix

In case you were wondering:
Yes, Nugget is the biggest, slightly round and eats excessively.
Yes, Hypo! is hypo a lot of the time, and Hypo! is spelt with an exclamation mark.
Yes, Robby Patty was named after Robert Pattinson : for one vampire obsessed friend
Yes, Princess Sparkles is a male... pink, and kind of sparkly (renamed Prince Sparkles)
and Nick. Well...yes, it is a bit weird naming a fish after a bird, but Nick was named after Ashleigh's deceased fish Phoenix (umm. the first, I guess)

So yup, they're very cute ^__^
