Rupert!

We have a new addition to our little family: Rupert the Betta!

I picked him up shortly after Harvey, my previous pet betta, passed away over the holiday break.  Sad?  Yes.  But Harvey lived to reach the ripe old age of 5 (which I think roughly translates to “old man” in fish years …)

I love Rupert’s bright blue color – And seriously, how could you not love that face?

If you were wondering, I name my bettas after characters actor Jimmy Stewart has played or movies he starred in.  “Rupert” is Stewart’s character in Hitchcock’s “Rope”.  My other betta is named Tigo, which is short for “Vertigo” (another Hitchcock movie).

Meet Harvey!

I decided to do a little photo shoot with my pet betta, Harvey.  Though I would love to have a dog, my landlord and time only allow me to have a fish, but I’m okay with that because Harvey is probably the most awesome fish ever!  I’ve had him for three years and first bought him my sophmore year in college, he was my little dorm pet.  He enjoys blowing bubble nests and attacking his food pellets when I feed him.  Believe it or not, he loves cold cuts (salami and ham)!  I learned this a couple years ago when I jokingly dangled a piece of meat over the water and he jumped for it, multiple times!

Harvey In His Home

Needless to say, he is a pretty interesting and fun fish to have around!
