Food Riot

[bettasandbeads]

WEll  Kim. I now have a riot on my hands or at least all my Bettas are mad at me.
Kim has been after me for quite some time about feeding my fish to much and putting them on a diet.
Well I started today only 4 pellets each. twice a day. I know Kim you said once a day. But I am starting with twice a day and then go down to once.
You should have seen the looks and attitude I got when there was no more food coming. http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/angry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='angry.gif' />  http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />  http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' />
SEveral of Lady Laces daughters have her tail flip down pat. ( Lady Lace was a beautfull pale yellow butterfly I breed with a Platium Opace HM. ) She had a way of doing a 180 degree turn on the spot and flipping her tail at you.  No one would believe me until they saw it themselves.  Severals friends saw her do it and couldn't believe she had just given them the bird.
All the others are just looking pitiful and trying to suck in their bellys.
Wish me luck and hope I can keep up with all this presure on me.

Goodness. I'd like to see that in person. I have had a similar situation over here. I keep them in beanie boxes with the lids on (there's a hole in the lid, no worries hehheh) and sometimes in the morning if I accidentally fumble with the pellets and drop one on the lid instead of in the ventilation hole (those pellets are so small) they'll get impatient with me and take a jump for the mysteriously suspended food only to bump their heads on the lid. Silly fish http://209.85.62.26/html/emoticons/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /> Gotta love em.
