Following the death of my beloved Hoover, my heart was broken for Valentina, who was alone in the tank.
By placing mirrors in different spots in the tank, Valentina saw her reflection.
Was she, in fact comforted by this?
Did she feel less alone in the tank?
It seemed that Valentina sought out the spots that had mirrors.
When she ate, hung out, rested or slept, it was in front of a mirror.
All this hopefully comforted Valentina.
It also comforted me somewhat...
Valentina was never the outgoing, gregarious seahorse that Hoovie was, so her ongoing isolating nature did not concern me. It did not seem as though she was overly depressed.
Still, I have decided to make Valentina my last seahorse...
Thank you!
