Henry was the seventh fish and the second betta to join my family. I got him at the same pet store as Morrie. Age: He lived with me from Monday, June 28, 2004 to February 8, 2005. Species: Betta splendens Size: A little over two inches including tail Gender: Male Hobbies: Strutting around, defending his territory; hunting down bits of food; hugging the heater Dislikes: Being pointed at. Diet: Freeze-dried bloodworms and daphnia, BioBlend betta bites, Wardley betta pellets, Hikari Betta BioGold, and more. Habitat: A five-and-a-half gallon tank in my bedroom, later moved to the kitchen.. Nicknames: Big Bad Betta, Henri Fishard, 'enry 'iggins Namesake: Like my previous betta, Morrie, Henry was named for Henry Morrison Flagler, a historical figure from the early development of Florida. I'm a history geek, OK? ;) There's no real connection between the industrialist and the fish.
