Eric, new addition to the family

We took Primero to the pet store yesterday and looked at the birds. She went in to this one small room that had 3 bird cages in it. It had Canary, Cockiteel etc. When she came out she said "It's stinky in there mom!" We talked her in to getting a fish instead so we got a purple beta fish. We learned that Beta is a good starting fish. Primero thought it was a girl but we informed her that all beta fish are male. She names him Eric. She's careful about feeding him so that he does not die due to overeating. She gives him 1-3 pellet/feeding. Hopefully it'll last 1 week.

Take some pictures of Eric. It should last at least a year. They can go days without eating.

Don't add water straight from the sink. Let the water sit for a day before adding it.

There are female Beta's but they are not the colorful ones...
