Yesterday, I bought a lovely crowntail betta fish. This is his first picture in his adoptive family.

He’s named Dee Snider. Five points to the person who gets the reference right off!

(Okay, here’s the story: he’s named Dee Snider because his fins look like some crazy hair. Dee Snider was the lead singer of the 80s hair band Twisted Sister, and had bigger hair than even I do. The new betta fish, when his fins are splayed, bears a striking resemblance to Dee Snider. Ref the “We’re not gonna take it” music video.)
