Betta Fish: Rest in peace, Cherry.

February 1st 2025 I went to the pet store to get something for my frog, I didn't know what enticed me to look but I went go over to the Betta shelf and there she was, all alone at the bottom…I remeber looking at her for a good 10 minutes, and leaving. I just couldn't stop thinking about her so I looked up a few YouTube videos and set up and tank, and on February 15th I went back and I got her, she was only 3 dollars but to me her personality made her worth millions. She immediately became the center of my world, any time I had cash I spend it all on her, new plants, new treats (hence why she's chubby in the video, dw she was on a diet), different enrichment toys. She was my baby. I told everyone about her, and showed her off to people at fish expos, She was the whole reason I even got so deep into fish. She would immediately come up to the glass when she saw me and she would jump up out of the water to get her food, I wish I got more videos of her doing it…it was absolutely adorable. Everytime I left the house, I would look forward to coming home, just to see her swim around in her tank. Id sit on a stool and watch her, talking to her, and moving my finger on the glass for her to follow… She would sat right there the whole time. None of my other Bettas are like her, she was special. Today, she passed away, 275 days after I got her. She made such a big impact on me and now she's gone, no more feeding times, no more talking..just a empty tank. She fought so hard since September 20th, no amount of anything I did helped. I'm glad she's at peace now but it feels like there's a huge whole in my heart now, I would give anything to have her back. I don't wanna bury her outside, so I plant on getting her a potted plant tomorrow and burying her inside that, maybe something that matches her colors, if you have any suggestions lmk please. Anyways, thank you for reading about her, rest in peace my sweet girl.
