I really need to stop walking past the fish in wal mart. I always tell myself that I won't buy any, because that's just supporting their business. And usually I'm really good, I can resist temptation. I've only given in once before, to a gorgeous little female with lilac fins, which turned out to really be red.
Today I had another mercy buy. Duece (so named because my fish Ace was also a mercy fish, this time from a game night) was in his cup, with just enough water to cover his body if he lay down on the bottom of the cup > :'(. He gave me the "What are you looking at, I didn't ASK to be in this situation! >" look, and I was sold. I couldn't let him stay in that cup.
In the store he appeared off-white with blue edges on his scales and fins; he has already darkened to a kind of khakI color with navy where the blue was in the store, and a green sheen. He is very very pretty, even if his dorsal fin has a kink in it.
I also went to an actual pet store and bought a pair of mollies as a late Christmas gift for my roommate and a pair of guppies for me... unfortunately I think the female I got is actually a male. Stupid pet store people.
