I saw Stevie and he looked at me in the eyes and I looked at him back.
00:05
Stevie was pale probably because of the stress of being in a cup.
00:09
It's a pet store, they don't really take care of their waters.
00:12
Maybe he hadn't been fed in a while.
00:14
There was something about his little face.
00:16
He looked kind of like a little goth with his black lip.
00:23
He was definitely very shy, was constantly hiding.
00:26
With time, he started eating a little bit more as his pellets fell.
00:34
He definitely became much more active and curious, just really out of his shell.
00:40
He's just very personable, like he loves to see people come up to his tank.
00:43
He has like a little butt wiggle with his tail.
00:46
Every two to three months, I'll re-scape the tank, add plants, add different rocks,
00:51
different decor.
00:54
And he has fun with it because with each time, he gets to explore a different little area in his tank.
01:06
Some spots of blue started becoming a lot more visible.
01:10
But I thought like, all right, he's feeling better.
01:12
And then the spots on his body just became enormous until it completely covered him.
01:20
I didn't really know what his genes would be,
01:22
but I definitely never imagined the blue sea that he looks like now.
01:29
Even though he's changed blue, he has his signature mustache.
01:33
It's like, oh, he's got a mustache.
01:34
He's got a little mustache.
01:35
He's got a little mustache.
01:36
He's got a little mustache.
01:37
He's got a mustache.
01:38
He has his signature mustache still.
01:45
Like, fish bring me happiness.
01:49
You see them grow.
01:50
You see them interact with you.
01:51
They're super smart animals too.
02:09
So
02:20
there is some kind of myth that a fish is the easiest pet to get a child.
02:25
I actually got my first beta when I was 11.
02:28
And I always feel some guilt for that because he didn't thrive.
02:31
Like, current fish, they're just an embodiment of
02:35
all the things I've learned in the last 10 plus years.
02:39
And they're just these small little beings that I never thought I could love so much,
02:43
as small as they are.
