Smoke3 died yesterday... after just ONE measly week! I had thought to myself that some of the Betas didn't look so lively at Pet Smart last week and thought I had picked an OK guy, but... I now know to never again buy a Beta from Pet Smart in Salem, NH (besides the fact that they looked sick, the person who waited on me was busy picking her newly pierced ears and sure did make me feel like I was putting her out by asking to get a fish!)!
Today I headed back to where my 3 previous Betas came from (Sparky, Smoke and Smoke2) - Petco - and purchased a very frisky Beta that we'll now call Smoke the 4th, or Smoke4 (we just can't say "Smoke the 4" since Smoke is named after Tony Stewart and the #4 is Scott Wimmer, who is another favorite of mine!) ... he actually looks a lot more like the original Smoke who was with us for about 3 years. He is blue with a bit of reddish coloring. Not the best picture, but the first one taken (as he sits on my desk at work waiting to go home)...
