What is That Dhaaarling????
What on Earth?....
will you kindly desist from flitting all over... while I'm trying to snap you!
Ahhh... Almost got you!...
Now...That's much better...
Meet Marmaduke. My latest acquisition and house guest...
Yes He's another Siamese Fighting Fish but this time he is a different type to the other three... Mr Finn... Ralphie and Horace... that have already taken up residence...
The breed is known as a "Betta" or Siamese Fighter and the ones I have already are all of the variety "Betta Splendens"
Marmaduke however... is a "Betta Crown Tail" How fitting given that I am a Princess...
Notice how his fins are split and fan out in different directions toward their ends. Sometimes he looks like he's doing a little fan dance!
How cute!...
"What's that Marmaduke?"... "Oh... You're ready for your arse shot now"...
OK..
He really is a beautiful blue in colour
Mostly cobalt blue with just a dash of red on his front fins...
This is Marmaduke when shot with a flash...
It makes him look like a totally different fish...
Washing out all the cobalt of his true colour... Making him look a sort of Aqua Green..... With a ginger head...
I much prefer his Cobalt Blue thank you...
Don't you Dhaaarlings?
Very hansom prince fish!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely cobalt. "Fighting" fish - does that mean it would be no good idea to bring them all together into one bowl?
ReplyDeleteLovely, looks like he has feathers...
ReplyDeleteHe's like, "The Bluefish of Paradise".
He's definitely a looker.
ReplyDeletehe's a pretty devil
ReplyDeleteif I were to have a fishy, I'd like to have this kind.
ReplyDeleteI love the floral backdrop you've created for your fish, you really are spoiling them. For an attractive table centre piece, might I suggest you stick an artificial rose in there along with some floating candles?
