Well, after some time to re-coop from her harrowing stay in a tiny plastic cup at the pet shop, Fred's fins really fleshed out, and it became quite apparent that Fred (short for Winnifred), was no female at all. She, it turns out, is a half moon male Betta. Which means, I got a $14.00 fish for $2.50! And it means I needed to change his name, even if Fred is technically a boy name. It was just weird calling him his old 'girl' name. So, we changed it to Bruce, because Bruce seems like an ultra manly name to me, and because the dude that is Bruce the shark's voice in Finding Nemo is famous for a transvestite character he did in the 80's named Dame Edna. So, there you have it. Fred's arrival to manhood is complete, and she (he) shall from hence forth be known as Bruce. :)
