I buried him in my flower bed where he can rest among the nature that he loved. This spring I will get him a small stone to put on the spot that is now marked with a small piece of wood.

He was a loving and sweet betta in many ways and I am looking into getting one of his grand nephews from the breeder that brought me him. Perhaps the wonderful thing is that one of them was for sale with his sister as a pair on the site last night. To be a tribute to this wonderful friend I would love to own this lovely betta.

I will miss you, little friend.
