helps maintain my water garden/aqua ponics
At Christmas time I got a Water Garden which meant we needed a new pet to help maintain the water and plant growth. We all went shopping and got a male Beta fish. He sits in our kitchen helping my crops of radish sprouts and alfalfa sprouts grow. He doesn't argue about his work load or helping out. He provides some calming moments for us, well at least for me when I sit to watch him.

Well, I'm intrigued. I had to go check out a water garden. You're going to have to tell me more about it the next time we are together. This caught my attention: "He doesn't argue about his work load or helping out." That line tells an interesting story.

I like Petunia! It must be fun to have him keep you company.
ReplyDeleteMesmerizing to watch a fish swimming and minding its own business. I like the phrase flappy fins.
ReplyDeleteI love Petunia's name. Especially given that he's a boy.
