We decided to go crazy a couple of weeks ago and get our first pet, a beta Fish. Okay, So it was not that crazy. My kids were thrilled though. They named him Nacho and spent a few minutes each day looking at him. He was not that entertaining.
Sadly, in those few minutes each day we noticed that he was moving less and less. I consulted my Dr. Mom, who had nursed my sisters failing beta back to health. She asked if I had put dechlorinator in the water. No! they had not told us to buy that at the pet store. It was to late for our little nacho. We bought him on a saturday and he died the following Saturday. I really did feel bad for the fish. I think we are really not pet people. I told my kids we could buy another one, afterall we had the food, the bowl, and now the dechlorinator. They said, No.
