hibernation

or something of the sort, has been plaguing the Betta since October.

It seems to be somewhat of a common theme around here.

So after weeks of lying around on the bottom of his bowl, Chum finally got his point across and riddled with fear that I might kill off the beloved fish, I turned on the heater.

Winter is here! I can no longer deny and the fish is no longer screaming IT’S TOO COLD IN HERE!!
