I've been wanting an animal for my office for a while. I've ruled out a reptile because of space and I like having them all in one place downstairs in the reptile area. Also, the few reptiles I thought of potentially getting need a lot of work and my time and energy are limited these days. The number one priority is taking care of who I currently have and making sure this doesn't become work versus a hobby for me.
In any event, I thought of doing a small aquarium, but even that is a lot of work - 14-15 gallon tank. In some ways, it's harder than a larger tank. Ultimately I decided on a 4 gallon tank with a Betta.
Meet Lincoln. He's got red white and blue on him and he's got spunk. He's very patriotic. We both enjoy keeping each other company while I work in my office.
