Meet Squirt.
A right dandy specimen of Betta Splendens.
Bettas have a well-deserved reputation for getting in the face of anything that moves, regardless of relative size. Aside from the usual severe tenacity, this one has personality-- flair, even-- making him an ideal subject for portraiture. He currently resides in a ten-gallon villa with a pair of Corydoras and several danios, who find immense enjoyment in annoying him by darting hither and yon. He finds the Corys more to his liking, and can occasionally be found lounging about alongside them or, in a desperate plea for acceptance, even feeding on the bottom (quite a maneuver for an anabantid).
