It's times like these that remind us how much emotion we put into our tanks. We lost our resident Betta and our mascot Boris last night. He had been slower for a while, but old age has finally beat him.
To watch him grow from a tiny little Betta to a big boy was amazing.
Whether it was emergency rescues, or random fish that had nowhere else to go he accepted all housemates with a grumpy face, even when they stole his favourite spot to sleep. He even survived a jump!
After outliving all his tankmates he soldiered on to continue being the boss to the new guys!
Fishkeeping is hard work, but we don't regret a second of it. We are all part of the greatest hobby ever, and that's worth all the dirty filters in the world.
We will miss you, Boris. There's bloodworms on the other side.
