He was my favourite little buddy :( my first little buddy actually.
Ive had goldfish my entire life and theyve all lived for 5-8 years. So when the last one died and my mom said i couldnt get anymore fish, i was mad. She didnt want anymore goldfish, and she didnt want to have to keep cleaning the tanks (cause i didnt do it at all. haha)
Ever since i could remember ive always
hated bettas. Siamese fighting fish, whatever. I remember walking around walmart as a kid and being like "ew" when i saw them in their little cups. I hated how they just sat around in their little glass bowls and did nothing. I hated how they couldnt have friends with them in their tanks. I just flat out didnt like them.
Then idk i just woke up one morning and i was like "...i want one of those." so i told my grandma to take me and off we went to Big Als. There were like...maybe 20 there. They were all so fancy and colourful and nice, but, i didnt want any of them. Then i saw this boring red fish in a boring little bowl swiming around, flaring at me, and acting like a fool. He was red, just red, no other colour. But he was perfect, he was the perfect little buddy for me. So i took him home, told my mom i got a fish, cleaned out the old 3 gallon tank, and put Arturo in. He was so happy, i was happy knowing i made him happy. He was so cute too with his big head haha.
Now hes buried in my backyard underneath the plants with Kanye, Beyonce, and Dorito.
Rip Arturo.
