Sorry to report that today I had to euthanise my short-fin Betta splendens, Vishnu.

I'm actually more dejected about this than I thought I'd be. I spent so much time combatting his listlessness, dietary peculiarities, and chronic sickness. Although I had him only 10 weeks -- and he was sick from the start -- he did have a period of about two weeks where he was a spry, colorful little terror.

That's the Vishnu I'll miss.
