Meet the new House Guest...

Hello Dhaaarlings...

Princess has been given a new house guest to adorn The Palais...

Last week the Empress arrived home from one of her many shopping expeditions and presented me with this...

A beautiful bright Siamese Fighting Fish

"Oh Mother... what did you do that for?" Said I...

"Just Because I love you Darling" said She...

"And you seemed so keen on getting one that day you took the Nieces and I to visit the Pet Shop before Christmas... And so disappointed when you came home the next week after finding out that the shop had sold out of them.

So... As I was just driving past the shop today (it was miles out of her way)

I figured I'd stop and see if they had restocked...

  

And luckily they had!"

I thanked the Empress with a big hug...


I have always been fascinated by Siamese Fighters and have longed to have one for many years... Well since I was a kid really.. 

Say Hello to "Mr Finn!"


I think he's quite flamboyant for a fish

He's not as grumpy as he looks....and is quite relaxing to watch as he wafts around in his watery home...




So, Today I took visit to the pet shop to get another one... And would you believe they had sold out of them again!


I now have an order placed for a bright blue buddy for him...


Which should be available by next weekend...

 Separate tanks of course... I don't want it to turn into a blood bath...


Male Siamese fighting fish tend be territorial and get very aggressive with each other and will often fight to the death!


But... I think that the occasional flexing of fabulous fins between next door neighbour's  might be a little interesting Dhaaarlings.


And I believe that they are not as noisy as peacocks...
