Yep, my Lemon LOVES his very important role in the store
he sits on the desk and supervises all goings on....he watches everything very closely and i'm certain he could ring up a sale on his own if called upon.
Lots of little kids and families come in once a week to say hello to lemon and he loves it. one little boy hugged his tank so hard, he almost pulled it right off the desk.
we've had lots of opportunities to educate people about the propper care of bettas who ask about him.
as far as how he came to be....being the fashionista that i am, all summer I was touting YELLOW as the THE COLOR of the season. when i fell in love with betta keeping i set out to find a yellow one. i found lemmon in a LFS, in an open plastic cup on a shelf by the door. there was about 1" of dirty water in his cup (the rest had evaporated out) and being by the door, dirt from the busy street blew in constantly.
i tried to talk to the store owner about the poor conditions of these guys but he didn't care. i bought Lemon, Ace and Pink Floyd that day (you can see all in my gallery) .
I had orginally planned on having Rainbow at my store and set up a blue and purple tank that could compliment his colors. lemon was in the divided tank with Ace, but they would not stop flaring at each other, so i put Rainbow in there and took Lemon to the store.
then gramma rose adopted him and he's been super cool ever since.
its been a few months and his fins still haven't fully recovered yet from his time in the death cup, but every day he gets more beautiful.
he's got the cutest little personality and he loves his busy days at the store.
that's the story of lemon....
