Description


!! SELF DEFENSE !!

Hmm...Two Jelly Fish and a Siamese Fighting Fish.

Any bets?

* * *

Answer: My Siamese Fighting Fish "Aka Hana" ("Red Rose", in Japanese) can Hold His Own! Why, I have even seen him swim right up inside of them and go around and around in there! Heehee,,,Of course the jellyfish are made of rubber :D But don't tell my Little Aka Hana Man that!

Well thank goodness the jellyfish aren't real! I was kinda thinking his days were limited, especially if he tangled in those tentacles! Love the light in this wonderful little underwater scene, LuLu, and the clarity - hard to believe there's a tank holding it all in! #1571365

This is gorgeous, Pom! The light and vivid colors surrounded by darkness have a really dramatic look. But at the same time, the scene is so soothing, like flaming logs in a fireplace.
Like Debbie, I'm glad to know that Aka Hana is only fighting with plastic! #11032557

Sister Laura, this is so pretty, and Aka Hana looks beautiful, er,handsome...love the colors...just hope he does not meet up with some real ones...He is well taken care of! #11032710

Laura E. Swan level-classic April 28, 2014

I love you guys. :)) You do know how to make a girl smile!!

Okay so NOW I am going to tell you a secret. A visual. Shhhhh! Come close so I can tell you!

See in the dead center of the photo there? That is actually the back of the love seat couch I sit in as I am on my lap top here with you. And so Aka Hana's tank is right behind my head here.

So at any given time of day or night you might see my two eyes popping up there like KILROY. :D

Okay- CARRY ON! And thank you for kick starting my morning with fun and love and for sending me off into my day with creative confidence!

Thanks for your visits and great comments!

I missed this one in you gallery, SSSister - well, decades ago, really.

It's a wonderful view into the home of Aka Hana. I bet he enjoys his home and your company. #11041659

Laura E. Swan level-classic May 09, 2014

You are never too late to arrive here, my SSS! I'm just happy to see you! :D

You would love Aka Hana so much! He is so darned CUTE and FUNNY and spunky! He loves to be visited and he gets JUST as excited to see me as any dog I ever had. he wags his tail and makes his neck go back and fourth. Dale gets a kick out of it. Aka Hana doesn't do that with him. He just goes to the glass checks Dale out. :))) Dale has that deep voice and maybe Aka Hana is soothed by it? Whereas I have a very "excited" voice when I talk to him or sing to him. More "peppy!" :D

Aka Hana is a joy and I'm so happy he is ours. :D

Thanks Sis!
