New bachelor pad
28-Aug-05
Hopefully, this will be the last fish-obsessed entry for a while.
Zoot moved into his new 5 gallon bachelor pad this evening, after I spent a goodly amount of time doing a partial (3 out of 5 gallons) water change to reduce the pH to something a betta can actually survive in.
His first act in his new home has been to hide in the corner near the bottom. That was also his second act. 
He did eventually cruise up to the topfor some air, and then again for a pellet of food, but mostly, I think he’s a little freaked out by all the space right now.

I also went to a California Betta Club meeting today in Milpitas. Quite enjoyable, met many nice people (hi, !) and learned about the betta club and what they’re doing, etc. Also met some very nice puppy dogs, a couple of interesting parakeets, a barrel of betta fry, and a couple of smaller bettas who were in the auction (I did not buy any, obviously).
It was really neat, especially talking to other betta enthusiasts. Some breed their bettas, some don’t– most folks there had quite a few bettas at home.
