Aspen

Aspen

My name is Aspen because when Mom and Dad got me, I was the exact color of the aspen bedding in our tank.  I could scoot down and be almost invisible. Mom picked me out at the store because of my unusual coloring and I was very tiny. So tiny that she couldn't really tell if I was a boy or a girl. She can tell now though. I'm a boy. Mom and Dad said that means I have to live in a cage by myself because boys fight. It's OK though because now I have a nice cage all to myself. 

I don't really look like aspen now either but I like the name so Mom and Dad said I can keep it. I like to run and I don't overeat. Mom says that means I'm smart.

I was born approximately January 14, 2008.
