So I have been babysitting Lee's male beta fish Oscar since he has been in boston. Placed oscar right beside Betsy's female beta, Cletus (click for pic- that is Oscar in the background). Past couple of days, I have been noticing a bunch of small foam like looking bubbles at the top of Oscar's bowl- I have NEVER seen this sort of thing in Oscar's bowl before- so of course my first thought is: "OMIGOSH THERE IS SOMETHING WEIRD IN OSCARS BOWL HE MUST BE DIEING I AM KILLING OSCAR!!"

Called Lee- he had never seen it either. Finally looked it up online. Apparently, actually blow these bubbles when they are extremly happy and healthy.... and well, ready to mate. hahah.

There were actually a TON more than in the picture-but when dad came to visit this afternoon he popped a bunch of em- poor oscar- going to have to start blowing more bubbles...

You can read up on these... as I am calling them, love bubbles, here.

So basically, all week I have been thinking I was killing the stupid fish- and the entire time the fish was just blowing bubbles. Probably thinks Cletus is cute. :-P


Welp, off to Washington DC tommorow. :) No computer for 5 days- ahhhh!
