Kiyo's 1st birthday

Kiyo hat heute Geburtstag
today's is Kiyo's birthday
Hoy es el cumpleaños de Kiyo



I found this old post from March 20 2007
it was March 19 when I got my
fishy-friend Kiyo!
so today is his 'official' 1st birthday!

if you see this old photo of him
you can see he was smaller
and of a lighter peach color
and even a little 'transparent'
he has grown at least 1/2 inch
and his color has turned deep dark
also his fins are longer

here as he looks lately



in just 1 year we have been through a lot together
we survived his Popeye and fin rot infection

his has a newer and improved home these days
he started with a 1 gallon tank with a natural plant
and used to eat just pellets
but now he lives in a 2 gallon tank
with a heather, an artificial plant to keep away infections
and his diet is way richer!
he still eats pellets but also flakes
brine shrimp and blood worms
he really like the blood worms

and i am happy to have this lovely red friend
for a whole year now!
Betta fishes life span varies from 2 up to 5 years!
being a regular span life 3 years

so i hope my friend Kiyo stays with me for a while still
he's been a neat little companion...
and!

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, herr Kiyo!
Happy Birthday, mister Kiyo!
¡Feliz Cumpleaños, señor Kiyo!

creo que mi beta solo duro 7 meses, alo mejor ya tenia sus 3 añitos vividos. el pobre un buen dia (malo creo yo) dejo de respirar y se quedo flotando en su pescera de 2 litros. es una lastima, lo cual me confirma que todavia no sirvo para cuidar a nada ni a nadie.

saludos

ay Chio, entonces tu betta no vivió más?? temo informarte que tal vez NO estaba viejito pero igual y NO le diste los cuidados necesarios, yo he estado aprendido mucho de bettas y son mucho más delicados de lo que pensamos...

le tenías un calentador? y sales en el agua, y acondicionadores? si se murió muy pronto puede ser debido a las condiciones del agua, no solo se necesita que esté limpia, pero también un balance químico de sales, la temperature adecuada, etc!... espero que si decides tener otro beta, te de mejores resultados, y así los dos puedan ser amigos por mas tiempo

gracias por tus comentarios chi-iiitooo!
