Sensei Fishy

Who would have thought that a little Beta fish would brighten up our school so much? It's nice because people are gathering around his fish bowl and are talking to each other. It's not too often that the classes mingle... we're just so busy doing our own thing that we never really take the time.
This morning we were greeted by Sensei Fishy and he was alive! He survived the weekend! :) He did have a cluster of bubbles at the top of his bowl... It was weird cuz they didn't pop or anything like that. I figured I'd call the pet store where we got him from to find out if he was sick or something like that.
During lunch I met Mike (the 5th guy in our school...) and he informed me that what Sensei Fishy did was that he built a nest! He's actually looking for a lady Beta to make babies with. Oops sorry Sensei... no lady fish here. I wonder if maybe it's because of all the estrogen in our school. He probably senses it and figures there's lots of ladies around so he should make himself a nest for the babies that he'll be making. Poor guy... if only he knew we were people.

*grin* You'll be happy to know that the bubble nest thing is a sign of a healthy fish -- male bettas don't make nests unless they're in tiptop shape. :)

(disclaimer: I used to breed bettas.)

Sweet! It's probably all the love and attention he gets from the 60 some odd girls at school.
