So I bought a female betta for my male betta, Pyromethius. He was having issues and after narrowing down every issue, he needed to mate apparently. So now he's back to normal, and the female is in her own 10 gallon. Pyro is in his 5 gallon, and I bought the 10 gallon to initially divide it with a tank divider. I couldn't find a divider big enough for the 10 gallon, so it's just her in there.
Well, the female whom I've named Aquaclymene hated it. She was miserable despite having everything a betta needs in the tank. So I go out and buy a 5 gallon, and switched her over. And now all the sudden she's super happy. Wtf.
She downgrades to the tank minimum for a betta, and she's in paradise. I am so done with these fish right now lol

I feel the same way with my dogs, except I would be the parent that never wants them to be around

Haha, makes me miss my Kota <3
She was a pain in the butt, but she was my baby. Sadly she passed away a year ago, but she lived a good 12 years so I'm not complaining. She was also a special dog. She was the dog equivalent to being "slow" in humans--which I didn't even know was a thing with dogs until the vet told me. Made her even more precious tbh.
As for my fish, I have the two bettas and a Chinese algae eater. I also have a hamster too. All four of them are spoiled it's so ridiculous lol

I used to have a very spoiled hamster. He got everything a hamster could want, all of those expensive treats, a nice cage, really neat toys. He was dwarf hamster and lived to be almost three years old, which is old for them

Aw which sort of dwarf? I had a Chinese dwarf (the ones with long tails). She lived about 5 years. The oldest hamster I had was 6--almost 7 had she lived another two months. She was a normal-sized hamster, and she went peacefully in her sleep. I actually was shocked she had lived so long lol.
The one I have now--his name is Hobbes--is only a year old. He turned a year back in April :3

I think they are called Winter Dwarf hamsters? But I'm not for sure, I'd have to check. I feel like his death was my fault though because two days before his death he had diarrhea, which is obviously not normal. I should have taken him to the vet, but what's done is done I suppose

Well there are five types of Dwarf hamsters. You have the Chinese Dwarfs (my favorites), Winter White Dwarfs, Russian Dwarfs, Campbell's Dwarfs, and the Robo Dwarfs. And it sounds like they had Wet Tail, which is a nasty thing for them to get. I'm sorry that happened :c
And thanks! Hobbes is a little floof, and Pyromethius is a jerk lol. I don't have a pic of my female betta--Aquaclymene--yet. I also have yet to get a good one of my Chinese Algae Eater, Yen.

Yeah he was a winter white dwarf hamster. His name was Rocky, not a name as intresting as your pets' lol. Where did you get the names from?

But Rocky is cute! Lol.
And I was trying to think of cute names when I was looking for a male hamster. I've never had a male hamster before (all mine were female), and so I finally came to a decision with the name Hobbes lol. As for Pyromethius, I am a Greek mythology dork lol. His name is a pun off the name Prometheus. And since he's red, I altered the name lol. As for Aquaclymene, her name comes from Prometheus' wife, Clymene. And since she is blue, I added Aqua to it. And Yen, well, I named him Yen because he's a Chinese Algae Eater xD

Wow, a better backstory to the name than mine. I named Rocky that because his colors reminder me of rocky road ice cream. I guess I was hungry lol. I don't know if I could really get into Greek mythology, it seems too complex

I saw a cartoon family tree of it on pinterest (don't ask why it came up I don't legit search for it) and it looked pretty weird. And same with Egyptian mythology too, like why would you fall in love with your sibling and have children?

Yeah...there is A LOT of incest. Lol. I always found it extremely weird, but that's just how the ancient Greeks rolled I guess?
