So I have this betta, _____. (He hasn't been given a name yet, and it's been two months...). He had three friends, three white cloud minnows. They got along great until two days ago, when I woke up one morning and _______ was missing half of his tail.
I then proceeded to move the minnows in with some goldfish because a) the minnows outnumbered them b) the larger one was the only one big enough to swallow them, and he was blind and c) the tank was huge and had plenty of places to hide. So I move them. Life is good. They (the minnows) hang out together and look happy enough.

I go to sleep. I wake up.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't even know what happened. And now I have a betta that stares balefully at me every time I walk past, looking, for lack of a better word, a boy who's had a leg chopped off.
I have an amputee in my house, ladies and gents. Just not a human one.
