Betta Splendens

So, here in Somerville, I joined up with Dorkbot:Boston. Dorkbot here is a much much much smaller crowd, which is really comforting. We're working on a group installation for Halloween: we have lots of space at this Burrito joint by the Davis Square T stop.


My project is called Betta Splendens: it's basically a haunted fish tank inhabited by a ghost fish who doesn't like it one bit when you tap the glass! I'm currently working on the project now, and have bought a beautiful betta fish to star in my project. She's so photogenic!






Here's my technologically-thick and verbose write-up for the project. You know, grad schools are going to have to read about this, too...

Bettas are lovely vibrant creatures! I sometimes think they feel my presence in the house, especially when I'm passing along the tank 'cause they look more active at once.
Remember that the tank's cover should allow natural air ventilation since betta fish go to the surface to get some fresh air.
