Meet my new friend, #EmmetTheBetta.

He's helping me settle some #PTSD vibes.

Nice to meet y'all. 💙

Emmet reminds us all to stop and notice the small things today.

His tiny underwater world brings me immense peace.

(Also, he poses nicely for photos because he is a professional.)

alive.

He's such an asshole sometimes with the "playing dead" games. 🙄

What a happy pet looks like.

#EmmetTheBetta blows bubbles to create a nest to impress the ladies.

He has a fine crib 🏠

But only a snail and some amano shrimp are witnesses to his artwork.

Until now ‼️

Aren't YOU impressed tho?

(I am.)

No one told me that #bettafish do tricks.

#EmmetTheBetta has his own version of the #velcro #humanfly stunt.

He swims real fast, right into the "flower forest". Then stops.

He hangs there, suspended. Flares out all his beautiful dragontail spikes.

Look Ma, no fins!

Anyone need a stunt #betta?

Hide n seek with #EmmetTheBetta

I'm not sure if he was "it"

?

Maybe it was me?

At any rate, I found him. 🫧

His little "garden" is growing like crazy. This is a big deal cuz normally, I kill plants.

When they're underwater tho, I can't really do much to hurt them.

I wanna be Emmet in my next life. 💙🐟

#EmmetTheBetta in a rare photo with tankmate #Snailie

Most of the time, Snailie is MIA, but today, they're hangin out near Emmet's new #bubblenest

#Aquarium life #ftw 🫶🏼

If #fish and #snails spoke, we'd prolly have a podcast of some sort

(next lifetime, perhaps?)

Ii don't know if there's a #RainbowBridge equivalent for fish. If there is, I'm sure that #EmmetTheBetta is busy beneath it, creating his bubble nest and flashing his beautiful fins to attract the ladies.

Thanks for the last 18 months, my silent handsome boi. 💙

The Bus Kids will miss you. 🫧

I was told that male #bettas will confront every creature in their tank but #snails.

#EmmetTheBetta actually assists #Snailie.

We humans could learn so much about life by observing the small things around us. 💙

#EmmetTheBetta was just moved back into his larger aquarium. Over the past two hours, he created that #bubblenest (upper left).

He's the first #bettafish I've had as a pet.

He fascinates my inner child(ren) on the daily. 💙

When your #editor notices you're NOT #writing or #editing a damn thing on a Monday afternoon.

Can't tell whether or not he cares...

#EmmetTheBetta with his #bubblenest this morning.

He's a diligent little nest builder.

And a handsome fella. 💙

#EmmetTheBetta moved into a larger aquarium yesterday. Last night, he began creating a #bubblenest for his new place.

30 seconds of #EmmetTheBetta having a little #breakfast and working on his bubble nest this morning.

Take some time today to appreciate the little things that bring you #joy.

And when you're ready

Reengage
