So, I'm moved back home for the summer and whatnot...and i noticed that my dear Flounder seemed to be rounding out a little bit...sooooo, I lessened the size of his meals a little bit. Well, that didn't seem to help. So, I asked my little brothers if they had been feeding him at all..."no" So, I then went to my mom - and low and behold, I FOUND THE CULPRIT!! Haha, my mom! She said, "He just always looks hungry..so I thought he might like a little snak or something..." I just had to laugh, my mom, feeding Flounder "snaks" lol. So, now I have to ask her each morning if she has fed him at all, before I give him his breakfast. I don't know what I'm gonna do with her.

Now, last night, I was thawing out a pea for Flounder and my mom asked me what I was doing, so I told her, and she followed with this reply, "OOOOO!!!! Can I feed it to him?!?!" Haha, she's like a kid in a candy shop, I tell you. It's so funny. Soooo, once I get my boy set up in his 10gal, which will be soon :), I'm thinking I'll surprise her with a little guy of her own, I'll give her Flounder's current tank, and the gravel and stuff. She's so cute, I'll walk into the kitchen and she will be leaning on the back counter, head rested in her elbows, just watching him swim around, haha, its so cute.

Well, just thought y'all would like to hear a cute story or something :) What kind of betta should I get her? I'm kind of thinking a crown tail...but she likes Flounder a lot and he's a veil...so, I dunno, any suggestions?

That is cute! Your mom sounds like me. When my step son moved in with us in August, he brought all of his fish with him and I never thought I would get so attached to his Bettas, but I did. I started feeding them, watching them and playing with them! He thought, what the heck is wrong with her! He thought it was funny how attached I truly was. It must be a Betta thing! I think that is a great idea for you to surprise your mom with one of her own. I am sure whatever type of Betta you decide on, she will love him! *thumbsups

Your mom sounds to cute. Be sure when she has her own little Flounder that she doesn't give him too many treats (-; My sister has been feeding Fishy (her co workers fish as she went on vaction) and brought him home for the week. He has a little pot belly too my mom ask if he was pregnant! I told her to lessen his feedings and my sis said but he look hungry! LOL
