Aquatic Creation

I'm always looking for unique, fun ideas and/or easy decorating tips to spruce up my home. I saw this idea in a doctor's office and thought I would try it on my own. It adorns the dresser in Nature Girl's room and she simply loves it.

1 tall cylinder glass vase - A.C. Moore $13 (with coupon $7.50)
1 silk orchid - A.C. Moore $2.19
river rocks or pebbles - "free" from your very own backyard, or $2.19 at A.C. Moore
1 betta fish - Walmart $3.49

Total cost = $15.37

Too cool! Now, how to get the Beta from Wal-Mart to Friday Harbor still alive?

A few years back one of my co workers had a fish like that in a large jar with something growing out of it.

I always wondered how long it could live like that --- as it is a tropical fish, isn't it?
I worried about the water getting too cool and stuff.

let us know.

What a good idea. It's so relaxing watching fish swim about in their little or big "world".

I love this kind of thing. I attended a black tire affair last year that featured a huge floral decoration on the buffet table with fish among flowers. I was fascinated by it all night long.
