Silly Fish


Ven Pendragon watched as ShivaBelle swam back in forth in her tank. He couldn't understand why she went under the chinese style bridge, swam all the way under and popped out of the seaweed by her bubble tower. He looked at his own bridge, a sturdy medieval structure with pine trees on either side. While ShivaBelle was a one of a kind, hyper Betta , Ven was a unique blue eyed and golden scaled Betta. He enjoyed hovering above the surface and popping the water bubbles as they came from his filter. He knew that swimming around the tank was fun, but his idea of a good swim took place from the Greek ruins to the top of the Arthurian bridge. (He was named Pendragon for a reason.) From time to time he stopped his pattern to watch Shiva as she squirmed under the entire pile of tank gems. He had decided to go under his bridge once, but only once. He could only imagine why Shiva enjoyed doing the same thing over and over. But this wasn't the only thing she did. Ven had also seen her race her reflection and follow the lotus on the surface of the tank. He decided his time was best spent relaxing by the ruins or observing Shiva by the rubies. Shiva noticed every once and a while, but most of her time was spent in a constant swim, no matter how simple or energetic. So the days would go by with Ven watching Shiva swim back and forth and only stop every once in a while to take a break by the lotus flower. He did his own route from the ruins to the bridge, and took breaks behind the pine trees. There was never a dull day with silly fish.
