I love my sturdy little fighting fish, and I thought I would inflict their fishy adorable-ness on Chaz (Okay, so maybe they're scrawny and funny-looking, but I love them anyway!)
This is my sister's fish ("Spirit"). He's got a nasty case of fin rot right now, so excuse his ragged-ness.
And this is my current guy, Dillinger (so named for his...um...sunny disposition).
A few of my past boys: Attaturk, who was quite sickly when I purchased him and never quite recovered. He was an easy keeper, but died of an apparent gill infection after about 5 months.
And Vito, who was the most docile fighting fish I ever owned (and who was twice assaulted by Dillinger who had a penchant for divider-jumping). He died under the care of a friend early this year at about 8 months of age
The only one missing is Cash, who I had the longest and who was my first fighting fish! He bloated and died just after I purchased Attaturk after about a year and a half (?)
The end! Anyone else here keep fish?
