Toothless

This is my new fishie. His name is Toothless. Which is a joke because bettas actually have teeth. They are interesting little boogers. Along with their gills bettas have an organ called a Labyrinth that allows them to actually breath atmospheric O2. This is why they can survive living in such a small bowl (though that is not really healthy for them in the long term).

He is a very curious fish. Silly thing decided he wanted to explore the plant jar, and after putting half of his body in there had to do some considerable wiggling to back out. No worries though, he managed it just fine.



He is looking at the camera head on in this picture. His face is so dark that it is hard to see much detail at this angle.
