Today’s Fish of the Day is Raj, submitted by Amber Butler of Pediatric Utilization Management. “Raj is a male split-tail betta who was picked up as impulse by from a pet store because we’d never seen an nearly-transparent betta and couldn’t pass him up. He helped complete our collection of male bettas, all named after characters from ‘The Big Bang Theory’ (and all in separate/divided tanks.”

Pets of the Day — what you need to know
The Vanderbilt University Medical Center Pets of the Day are included in regular editions of the MyVUMC newsletter, which is posted twice a week by VUMC News and Communications.
The pets are selected from the hundreds of entries sent earlier this year to the VUMC Voice Pet Photo Contest.
For those who submitted a photo to that contest, watch MyVUMC for Pets of the Day, and in addition, regular collections of pet photos are posted to the VUMC Voice site. You can see them all here: https://news.vumc.org/section/voice/pets-vumc/.
If you have a pet you would like to nominate for Pet of the Day, the next Pet Photo Contest submission period is coming up later this year, and will be announced in MyVUMC.
Raj and Benny were featured in the July 18, 2024, edition of MyVUMC.
