So, um, the new fish? Yeah. He's not eating. I'm not too worried about that, to tell the truth, because betta fish are picky eaters. He'll eat when he's hungry. I've been offering him three different kinds of food--wardley betta food (the cheapo pellets you get from Walmart), the Nutrafin Betta Flakes (not so cheapo food that has dried blood worms in it and enhance the colour of the fish), and the Bio-Gold pellets (best in the market right now. Fantastic for bettas!), and he won't touch any of them.

He also still needs a name. Does anyone have ideas? I sort of want to go into a more literary perspective... I'm not going to name him something silly, though, so I was thinking of maybe naming him after an author...? Whatever. I also thought about naming him Cooper, but he really doesn't seem like a Cooper. *shrug*

Speaking of the fish, he blew his first bubble nest today, which is good. Bubble nests imply that the fish is healthy, after all. Unless they're large bubbles, in which case you have a sick fish on your hands, but whatever. These are pretty normal bubbles, which means he's finally starting to like his new home. ^_^ The problem? They're a kind of light-copper colour. Bubble nests are, so far as I know, always white in colour, but this is a yellow-orange nest, and that's just plain weird. I've been asking around at a few fish forums to see if anyone knows what's up with it, but I haven't gotten any useful answers yet. *shrug* I'm sure someone will have seen it before and they can tell me about it...

I NEED FISH NAMES! Last time I asked for names, I got: Soku, Bosie, Duchovny, Kassian, Nicolai, Hikaru, Kazuki, Touya, Tsuzuki, Ginji, Soho, and Kyu. Does anyone have any new names, or do they have one from this list that they really like?

Fitzgerald or just Fitz for short, its very literary.

Lord Byron.

Because of one reason, encompassed entirely by two words: British Pimp. He was also a poet. Need I say more?

How about Victor? After Victor Hugo?

I hope he decides to eat soon!

I was actually going to suggest Kyu, but it's already on the list! ^_^;

Actually, I like Nicolai. But Dimitri is also good.
