RIP Vim.
I woke up today late and quickly went to check the temperature on the tank, make sure my fish was alright before rushing off to school, and to my surprise found Vimmy laying dead on the gravel. I don't know what's wrong but I'm thinking the ammonia level was too high. I don't have a filter and I don't think I did enough water changes. It's just really depressing on top of how much life kind of sucks right now.

I got a betta. I was the weirdo who spent my entire freshman springfest in the computer lab researching bettas. That was four years ago. Once, I went to the store and bought one when my dad came to visit, and he took him home for me, but he didn't know how to care for one and wouldn't listen, so the fish died.
Now I finally have my very own little fishie. I bought a 10 gal and now it's sitting half full while the water gets ready for Vim Fuego, aka one spaz of a fishie. Over time I'm going to get gravel and live plants and some bamboo and little ceramic pots for him to hide in and some corries.
Here he is in the pathetic little cup
and the ten gal waiting. I don't have a top yet, so that's why it's so empty.
I was always sure I'd get a yellow or orange or brown fish, but I just really liked his marbling.
I was looking around for some pictures maybe like the image in my head of the set up I wanted, and I found this, very similar, only I want natural colored gravel and maybe a small ceramic pot or two to give it an almost 'sunken garden' kind of look.
