My Value: Betta Fish!!!


What I specially value these days does nothing to do with technology like i-phones or i-pods or anything that has i. I fell into total fascination with this certain finny creature called Betta, or Siamese fighting fish. Years ago, I was very much interested about aquariums- just looking into a tank full of different kinds of fishes gliding smoothly in and out of the aquatic plants brought me to another dimension of a world, which is so much soothing than the hard surface of the earth. maybe I was a mer-person in the past, I don't know. But anyways, although I enjoyed the pleasures of aquariums, the major problem was that one by one fishes were dying with no apparent reason- later I found out I was the main cause- and I learned about the Betta fish, and realized they were so much easier to take care of, not to mention they have character and so much friendlier than the other unintellectual finned friends. As I was taking much care of the new Betta fish, so did my knowledge grew about how to maintain a better environment for the fishes. And when I grew more expert, I started to see the values of Bettas. whether they have a superior finnage or has excellent color or mix of color or not, or whether this kind is rare or pretty known, I was evaluating individual Bettas with more keen sense of value. However my own Bettas are just Petco grade, I love them because I still bought them with my own value.
