Andrew said...: I was going to ask, but Jennifer seems to have answered already. Pretty blue. Your previous camera post inspired one for me that will appear at some point.; April 15, 2011 at 8:28 PM
River said...: Jennifer; I've no idea how long these fighters generally live. I know he was happy though, because he would swim around and when I noticed him he would fan out all his fins, like he was saying hello.

Andrew; now I'm curious.; April 15, 2011 at 9:20 PM
Marie said...: I thought they lived for 2 or 3 years, so it sounds like Chippy had a long life. And it sounds as though he was happy. Though it still hurts when they go :(; April 15, 2011 at 9:33 PM

RIP Chippy; April 15, 2011 at 9:42 PM
River said...: Marie; I like to think he had a happy life.

Frogdancer; three minutes......then nothing.; April 16, 2011 at 12:08 AM
Ðéví said...: *hugs* It sounds like he had a lovely life.
I'm not allowed Betta's anymore, because I cry too much when they pass on. At least my cats I get 15-17 years before I have to face that again.; April 16, 2011 at 1:30 PM
River said...: Devi; thanks.; April 16, 2011 at 1:47 PM
Kath Lockett said...: Awwww.... sounds like he was happy and, um, fulfilled if the experts say he lived a long life. Such a pretty lookin' fella too!; April 16, 2011 at 11:06 PM
