When you see a name like Svetlana, one would think ‘Russian’ then ‘spies’, ‘KGB’ and all the intriguing spy plots. Typical stereotype profile. So when you have a fish name Svetlana, it is no different.
M2’s pet Betta, Svetlana has been labelled the ‘Russian Killer’ because hubby’s Finney and M1’s yet-to-be-named-Betta were all bitten by her! Their demise was quick and in succession. My Bubles survived the attack thankfully. For how long more, we don’t know.
It looks like we may have to buy another batch of Bettas and pray that Svetlana won’t take them out.
Tough being a fish with a Russian killer around.
