One of the things that my grandmother had bought me for my apartment was this really cute, fish bowl that sits inside a larger fish statue type thing and while it was really cute and decorative it was absolutely too small for the Betta fish that I got to go in it. At first, I didn’t think too much of it since the pet stores keep them in the small containers and the majority of “Betta fish bowls” are small containers as well. But after a week or so of having him, I noticed that the water was quick to go bad and he didn’t have enough room to swim around in and often would just hid under the little plant I put in there.

So after class, I went to Wal-Mart with a friend and picked up a boring 1 gallong goldfish bowl that came with gravel, water conditioner, some food and a net; it actually turned out nice than I thought it would. I just finished transfering him over to his new home and he seems to like it much better – hasn’t stopped swimming around. I’m glad that all I have to worry about is getting fish supplies and not horse supplies or some crazy thing like that, I wanted to get a dog when I originally moved in but with them having put new carpet in I’m not allowed – I guess it’s some what a good thing because it saves me from having to buy dog supplies which can get fairly expensive and I’m a broke college student, so I can’t really afford to buy things that a dog might need; at least, I have my fish and he’s simple to take care of  Here are pictures of what I did have him in and what he is in now (sorry they are kind of bad, they were taken with my phone:
