Bad News

Hi betta lovers!  Hey, you know, I am on vacation out of state until February, so I won't be able to update anything about Eragon or Francis (who are being cared for by a wonderful betta fish owner) until then.  However, I still have knowledge of betta fish to publish, and just fun regular blog stuff too!  Though I miss Eragon, you know, it's still a wonderful vacation!

Fun Facts

Hi betta lovers!  Here are a few fun facts about this blog, Eragon, Francis and I:

• Eragon has quite a temper: when he is put next to Francis, he immediately starts spreading his fins and frills.
• My profile picture is actually my favorite doll, not me.
• Eragon is smaller and has a more transparent look to him than Francis, whose color is bright red.
• This blog was created at around midnight one frigid January night in 2012.
• Eragon is much more active than Francis.
• Eragon's tank is like a sideways cylinder, while Francis' is a long octagon.  They are both plastic tanks.
• Eragon has quite an appetite: even though he is fed two pellets a day he wants more; while Francis is picky, eating only one pellet every day (and only the small ones).
• Eragon has glass jewels in his tank and a big plastic plant.  Francis has a big bunch of plastic plants.
• This blog was created because I was on a trip to the other side of my country, and I missed my fish.

Hope you enjoyed those fun facts!

Kate the Uncommon: What Happened?

Hi betta lovers!  If any of you have visited the Kate the Uncommon blog, I'm sure you're thinking that there is nothing special about this blog like I promised in a post.  Well, I don't know why she suddenly journeyed off to Anchorage.  Sorry!

If you are wondering what in the world I'm talking about, don't worry!  There is no trace of fish on Kate's blog, so there is almost no trace of her left--yes, I deleted the link.

And just to let you know: none of the other blogs have anything to do with betta fish.  They're just cool blogs.

A Mistake Has Been Made

Hi betta lovers!  I have to admit: I made a mistake on this blog.  You pronounce betta as BET-ta, not BAY-ta.  It has been fixed.
Please excuse me for this.  Did you know that the reason for this is that many think of betta as pronounced as beta?  In fact, more people probably pronounce it the wrong way than the right way.  Well, don't be like those guys.  Be correct, that's one of the most important things on this blog.  Being correct.
OK, enjoy your new knowledge!

Advice for Visitors: Comments

Hi betta lovers!  I just want to say don't hesitate to tell me any piece of information I don't know about betta fish!  It's OK if you don't know more, though!  You came here to learn about bettas and read about my own, right?  In fact, if this is the case, I suggest you use comments to ask questions about anything here.
Also, any suggestions you might have or opinions on my posts will be welcomed as a comment.  If you like, you could even recommend your blog, whatever it may be about (unless it contains adult content, the reason of which I will explain later).
Anyway, just don't be afraid to comment on any part of my website!  I only ask that you don't include adult content in your comment, though, because I expect many younger computer users come to this blog.  Thank you for making this blog such a great place to read about bettas.

Francis

Hi betta lovers!  My brother got a betta fish on 2/22/2012.  He named it Francis.  It's red, and it's actually older than Eragon.  Here are the signs: Eragon's body and fins are shorter, and Eragon is more playful than Francis.  Super Secret Sneak Peek: My next update to the site?  The Story of Eragon from Eragon's point of view.  Find out about him on the Francis page!
