They sat with me through a hard year. I don't think they knew what that meant to me.
🐠In loving memory
Nemo
“A small flame of colour.”
2020 – 2023 · Fish · Betta · Chicago, Illinois, United States
Nemo flared at his reflection every morning and followed our finger along the glass. Proof that small lives leave real gaps.
Their kind
Betta fish, also known as Siamese Fighting Fish, are native to the shallow waters of Southeast Asia. They are known for their vibrant colors and flowing fins, and males are particularly territorial. These beautiful fish are often kept alone due to their aggressive nature towards other bettas.
