Fish squee, the...er. More-th

[tj_dragonblade]

Lovely White is in his new home. After floating his cup for a couple of hours. During which he more or less paced back and forth with more of that polite impatience. Every so often he'd angle down, test to see that the bottom was still there (and still keeping him captive), then look up at me. And wait. Just hang there, staring me down (and I totally get the sense of a raised eyebrow in his look), then go back to his pacing. He objected mightily to the net, for which I can't blame him, but took to the new digs with an air of eager curiosity.

And like I said earlier, he was very gracious about his dinner, too. Didn't ignore it, didn't pounce on it, just surfaced and ate as soon as it was offered. There's something about him that proclaims 'dignified' quite strongly. All this, in pairing with his color, has decided me - on top of my initial geek-rooted thoughts on the matter to begin with - that his name shall indeed be Goujun. The dark scale-like patterning on the one cheek gill is icing on the cake.

Once he settles into his tank, I'm sure there will be more pictures. His gravel is ugly as fuck, and his plant isn't much better. Neither is Nataku's plant, for that matter, never mind that he's lounging draped all over it at the moment. But. I'm regarding the whole lack-of-coordinated-color-scheme for both of them as a temporary arrangement. I have them. That's enough for the moment. Especially since I slipped plain paper behind each of them to kill the uber-red of the wall. The red suits the room well enough. But it looks far too...blaring behind the fish. Eheh. ^_^;

*chuckles* you fish geek. Have you found a forum yet for other bettas geeks?

(Duo is also highly amused that Wufei is so into his fish.)

*giggles* What, you mean other than plying me for all the fishmommy information I have?

(*perks up at the mention of a Duo in the vicinity, looking around for him*)

Duo: *Waves* Yes, Wufei loves his fishies. I have to use drastic measures to tear him away from the tanks. Usually involving black leather and soy sauce. *winks*

*snickers* Oh, you're one of those Duos. *grins* Nice to meet you anyway, my dear. Though - funny that I've met you, but not yet seen Wufei around here...only TJ.

*arches an eyebrow* Soy sauce? *wrinkles nose* Oh, yes, Maxwell, how very enticing. Really.

*shakes head* Yuy and Winner have the food-fetish ,if you recall; I simply like to misbehave in the kitchen. Besides which, black leather is hardly a 'drastic measure' when you wear it most of the time as it is.

*prickles, slightly embarrassed* And there is nothing wrong with 'loving my fishies'.

Ooh, I love this one. Can't wait for the pictures! :)

Think I can get on his goos side if I salute and call him Commander? *Giggles*

*snickers* Well. You never know, really...

...that is so weird. I was actually thinking after your first post about him, that maybe you'd end up calling him Goujun ^^;

[tj-dragonblade.livejournal.com]

Heeee! Either you're psychic, or I'm just that predictable. Eheh. ^_^

[zalia.livejournal.com]

Well, it was just that you said he was white and the other fish is caled Nataku ^^;
