We called you Twinkie for short. You were arguably one of the cutest beta fish we had. You certainly knew how to strut your stuff. When I came out to stand in front of the pass-through in the mornings, you were the first to wiggle your way to the top of the tank and strut your fins, doing the dance I loved so well. I guess you were performing for your morning feeding.
It was the same thing when I came home from work. The moment the car keys hit the bowl, you were the first one ready, as if you were saying "pick me, pick me!"
It won't be the same without you. Just three tanks now. The pass through seems empty. The girls want another fish, to bring the tank count up to four again. I'm not so sure I'm ready.
Goodbye Twinkie. May your life ever after be an ocean of happiness.
