Niri Pinky-Ming

There is a new member of the household.

Niri Pinky-Ming, a Betta fish, has taken up residence in the living room. Originally puddle-dwellers, Bettas are renowned for being hard to kill, which is just our kind of fish. They’re low-maintenance, too: no bubbles, filters, or live plants required.

Isn’t s/he beautiful?

Niri Pinky-Ming had his/her first bowl cleaning last weekend. Rada helped ladle out the dirty water and add more clean water.

According to Rada, Niri Pinky-Ming’s name actually changes depending on the time of day. It is Niri Pinky-Ming in the morning, Gaia Pinky-Ming in the afternoon, and Casey Pinky-Ming in the evening. As Rada said this, I nodded pleasantly, thinking, “in your dreams”.
