This is Bruiser, a male Betta fighting fish. He has been a member of our family for about eight months. He lives in the office on the counter at the front desk. Bruiser is very relaxing to watch. In his home is a yellow apple snail named “Snaily”. He moves slowly, but is active for a snail. We have stories about him as well! Their home is a fish bowel shaped just like a fish. Be sure to say hello to them when you come and visit.
