Owning a fish tank had been a childhood dream of mine, and on 31st December 2025, I finally decided to stop putting it off and just go for it. What followed was my first tank, a Double Tail Betta and a mystery snail.
Named them Jude and Sgt. Pepper because The Beatles have been a constant in my life and the names just clicked instantly.
Somehow, this impulsive decision has turned into the most peaceful part of my day. After returning from work every day, I catch myself watching and talking to my tank buddies way longer than intended. 😄
Jude now swims up every time I approach like he expects a scheduled food delivery. Sgt. Pepper has claimed a spot under the driftwood and goes exploring and tank surfing once the lights are off. He's also done some digging there to make himself comfortable.
Been more than a month now and the tank has stopped feeling like décor and started feeling like a little world depending on me to get things right.
Not what I expected from a random year-end decision, but I wouldn’t undo it for anything. ❤️😊
