I have always thought the betta fish were very pretty, but it does seem a sad life to live alone because one can’t get along with others. I know some people like that.
My mother had goldfish and I remember how much work they were for her though she really loved them. I did too. So calming. I hope this guy isn’t a lot of work

a penny for your thoughts?
a fish in a jar is an interesting metaphor for the limitations our environment places on each of us
No it doesn’t…. I love your post – and what a great little fish jar!
Je ne sais pas, c’est un petit mystère, car je ne distingue pas très bien le contenu de ce bocal.
it’s my red fish; a Siamese fighting fish or sometimes called a betta fish
they have to be alone because they kill other fish and they don’t like large spaces so the jar is quite a nice size for him
there are rocks on the bottom and he is facing the camera between the rocks and the label on the jar
This is a delightful image, sherri. I was interested to read why your little red fish had to be alone
Un magnifique combattant ! !!…)
It is a beautiful jar as a home and I like that it is a recycled pickle jar.
Oh what soft and lovely
Une très belle photo !! j’adore 5*
Beautiful and original !
aaaah, it’s a rumble fish… can’t have those other colour fishes in there with him! have you seen that movie? ‘Rumblefish?’
Oh, quelle bonne idée et c’est tout beau, superbe! Bise, bon mercredi tout en douceur!
A cozy little home for such an aggressive fish. I love the label that is still on it. 🙂
I have a strange mind, when I saw the label and the fish I thought of pickled herring LOL! I like the simple nature of this image and of Dr Seuss.

Only one fish- I have a feeling of loneliness. But it is a beautiful image.
they prefer being alone and actually are very curious when people come near their bowl (or in this case, their jar: – )
he likes to watch me prepare dinner in the kitchen where he lives
he doesn’t like to be in a room where humans don’t often pass by him
What a great picture.
Fish are so relaxing to watch.
🙂 Very nice image, like the writing that accompanies it.
In solitary confinement
That is such a cute little home. I am sure that he is happy there! A beautiful image!
This siamese fighting fish nicely photographed in his territory.
