Well, I think this has been around of a while. But just in case you haven’t heard of it. I’m posting it for you now.

For pet owners there are sites called Catster and Dogster. If you own a cat or dog you can make personal webpages and friends for your cats and dogs. It’s like facebook but for your pets. It’s pretty cool. They also have a lot of information for pet owners, like guides, health, etc. Great site.

Check it out and join today if you’re a pet owner.

Betta Fish – “Siamese Fighting Fish”

I found out about these at Cat’s site: http://www.plastic-creep.net

She has a bunch of them. They’re so beautiful. And they seemed so familiar.

When I remembered that my mother had two of them. And they both looked like this one:

At first I didn’t know the betta fish was the same as the siamese fighting fish. Just another name for it. Until I researched betta fish online. That’s when the connection came. And I realized I had two in my possession at one point.

The first one lived for a month. The second one died after a week. They were kept in really small bowl-like tanks. I think that’s why they died. It was very small.

They’re very hyper. Aggressive. Like to dart around a lot.

Unfortunately for them they didn’t have a lot of room to move around. I’ll get some more one day, but in a bigger tank.

Here’s a good site that explains them more in detail and has some useful information on the breeding and caring for them:
