Gonzo El Rojo

I now have a roommate. Meet Gonzo El Rojo, a male Beta Fish.
Been wanting a dog, but it's not sensible right now, I'm in and out of town so much. "Zo" should be simple to take care of and won't break the bank. He eats about 6 little pellets of food a day and the $3 food canister I bought has about a million pellets in it. He is in a 1 gallon, "stemless wine glass" shaped bowl, which is about 5 times the size of the spit-cup he was in at the shop. Lifespan is about 2-3 yrs, let's hope he sticks around that long.
