Hello there! How is life treating you? Today is the second week of Ramadhan month. It's a month when every Muslim people around the world fasting for a month. There is not much trouble for me to do fasting and I hope I can continue my fasting smoothly until the end of this month. And I hope you all can continue your fasting smoothly too.
Two weeks before, before the Ramadhan month begin I bought a new pet. I bought a Betta fish or popularly known as Cupang in Indonesia. I bought it in Depok market, Manahan with my mom because she also looking for a fish supplement for her fish too.
My fish has a combination of white and red colors on his body and tail that made him look flashy inside the tank. I call my fish Miguel because back then I don't have any clue to give a name to my fish. Then I'm thinking to give some Spanish or Mexican names to my fish because I think it sounds so badass because I watch a lot of movies and TV series where the main character is fighting some Mexican gang members. I also take a picture of Miguel with my phone. It's really hard to take his picture because he always swimming around. But luckily I got one shot where you can see it clearly.
Actually, I never had a plan to have a fish before. Back then I want to try to make an aquascape because I found a video about making aquascape on Facebook. Then I'm interested and looking for other aquascape photos and videos on the internet. I also watch some tutorial videos about how to make an aquascape. Then I had a plan to make my first aquascape and use my mom's fish in my aquascape. But my mom didn't allow me to use her fish. She said it was better for me to buy a new fish instead of using her fish which was already too old for my experiment.
A few days later, my mom get an old tank and other aquarium equipment like a water filter and aquarium light from her friend. The condition is really dirty because it wasn't used for a long time. So I cleaned the tank and the light because I will use them to make my first aquascape. Unfortunately, the tank can't be as clean as a new tank. I already did my best to clean it but it still looks not clear. But I think that's fine as long I still can see my fish. Here's a photo of my tank that I'm talking about. You can see my mom's fish behind it.
Before buying my first fish, I read a lot of articles on the internet and watch some videos about taking care of betta fish so I will be prepared enough. This is my first time taking care of betta fish. I had a betta fish before when I was still an elementary school student but it didn't run smoothly because I didn't have any knowledge about how to take care of it. I just know to give it some food and change the water. But that's not enough. So my fish was dead a few weeks after I bought it.
I hope with all knowledge I got from the internet I can take care of Miguel until his last breath. Because I can't stop blaming myself if I make a pet dead because of me. Now I'm not only taking care of Miguel, my mom also asks me to take care of her fish who still do not have a name yet. Maybe you could give a name recommendation for them. Another red-colored fish and the other one are not looking so well. He didn't swim as much as the other and his fin and tail are falling out. I read some articles about those indications and that means he's sick. I'll do my best to cure him because now I'm a caregiver of all fish in my house. I also hope I could have another fish in the future because I think it's interesting to take care of a fish. It feels like you have a new friend in your house. But before that, I want to buy a new bigger tank and make a new environment for Miguel. Hope I can realize it as soon as possible.
Looks like that's all I can write about my new fish. I hope you will enjoy my post. As always, thank you for reading!
