When my nephew Mikey turned 1 in August of 2004, my sister threw him a huge Nemo-themed birthday bash. For favors, she bought all the guests (the kids) a betta fish. I'm sad to say that our beautiful red betta, which Brandon named Fishy just under four years ago, has died. We think he was already an adult when we got him, so he definitely lived his full five years of life.
Thank you, Fishy, for entertaining us these past four years, and for being such a wonderful first pet for my kids.
