Walt Brennan

I owned a fish store in Dayton, Ohio for thirty-one years, until I sold it in 2021. I sold the bettas, the bowls, the kits and the cartridges, and I watched a lot of fish come back through the door in plastic bags.

Now I keep twenty tanks in my basement, including a betta named Clyde, and I tell people what the store never did. I'm not a biologist, a chemist or a vet. I sold the equipment and kept the fish.
