Prince+21

''Mom can we get a beta". I pleaded.

NO"! My mom said. We already have enough pets".

I found the cutest beta when me and my mom were picking up some crickets for our pet leopard geckos. The beta was blue with a red tail. He was the cutest looking beta in the world.I tried to get my mom to go over just to see him but she said we could not get another pet. I finally got my mom to go over and look at the amazing beta she said, ''That is the most phenomenal beta I have ever seen".

When she said those words I got kind of excited but did not say anything. After she saw that beta me and her looked around at some of the other betas.

Eventually I said to her so can we get him. My mom said that we have no place or nothing to put him in. I told her that we could put him on top of the entertainment center. And he could go in one of our bigger vases.,

She said, ''Well maybe, it would be your responsibility to clean his bowl".

I was jumping with joy and said, ''OK I will do what ever it takes to get him".

My mom said that we have no food for him but I told her that I would pay for some beta food. I told her that I would set up the bowl and everything right when we got home. In my head I was thinking that she was totally loving the cute little guy. I could totally tell that she did want to get him. She said if I did all of the work and cleaned his bowl once a week we could get him.

As me and mom walked to the check out with the beta I could tell that she was really exited that we were getting a new pet. Since me and my mom are going to petco a lot we know almost everybody that works there. When we were getting the beta one of the people that we know were at the front desk. She knew that we have a lot of pets and when she saw us walking up to the desk with a beta she just started to laugh.

When we got to the front desk the laughing employee said ''Really another pet, you guys are so sweat to animals"

My mom said ''He talked me in to it and he is an adorable little guy". When we checked out my mom and the lady at the front desk just kept on talking and talking. Eventually I said that we should get this little guy home and in some real water. So we walked out to the car.

Once we got in the car I got a very good grip on the fishes container. I said to my mom what should we name the little guy. She said we should give him a cool name but at the same time not to long. To me he kind of looked royal. I said to my mom ''What about king or prince".

Once she herd me say those words she said ''Prince that is a perfect name, he totally looks like a Prince to me". She said. After that I really looked at him he really did look like a prince to me too. It was because of his colors, they are blue and a little bit red. He really is a royal fish.

Once we got home right away I sprinted in the house and started to set up Princes bowl. When I got to the cabinet I snatched the stuff that we needed for Prince. After I got everything and the bowl set up right, Prince got to go in his new home. Once he got to go in that new area he swam and swam. Having a bigger space made Prince so happy he almost flew right out of his bowl.

Me and my mom still have Prince today and he is the sweetest fish in the entire world. The funny thing about Prince is that if you show him things he looks at them and gets all happy and starts to swim all around. On the other hand if you show him things that are black he flares up and gets kind of mad. So if you are thinking about getting a fish I would recommend a sweet awesome beta with a funny personality.
