Jack "JD" Daniels

This is a bettablr or fishblr for my betta fish named JD. He is a twin tail half moon betta. I aquired him on November 8th 2018 and he is mostly red with blue. He lives in a 3.5 gallon tank but I intend to upgrade him to a 5 or 8 in the near future.

She zooms so fast and it’s hard to get clear pictures, but I really just wanted to show off the stunning iridescence in her fins. <3

Tragedy

I had a total tragedy with my axie about three weeks ago, my filter totally malfunctioned when I was away for a few nights and it spewed what I can only think was oil from the motor into the tank, I came back and the tank was a cloudy mess of this brown black grossness, and my axie was just not alive, I was way too late. She was cold and pale, stiff and her gills were a grey/black. I was so heartbroken. 

Deciding that it was time to try again, although I didn’t get an axie, I got two beautiful Oscars. They are maybe only two inches in size (much closer to an inch though), but I look forward to training them like I have done in the past with Oscars. 

One is albino, but Im not sure if he is true albino because the edges of his fins are tipped black. The other one a black tiger oscar. I picked these two because they both were pretty active and seemed to have bonded in the tank together. The Black one (Cuervo) seems to guide the much more shy albino (Morton) about. Cuervo was much more exploratory when he was first placed in the tank and then Morton slowly came out once Cuervo came back into the hide and led him about. Morty likes to spend his time so far exploring the bottom and just hanging out where Cuervo darts all around the tank. They still are shy when I approach the tank but hopefully they get used to me soon.

Im fish sitting Picaso but JD wanted some attention too. We took a dip in his fin progress again BUT its on the upswing again. I think he is happier with the additional plants and hides in his tank now. I think I may get a snail to hangout with him and maybe an African clawed frog, although I may just set them up in a separate tank anyhow cause I love those little critters.

I love Betta albimarginata, but Toast looks like a bug-eyed alien when you look at him front on, LOL. A cute bug-eyed alien, though.

Question

This may just be JD being a derp but I only ever see him swim straight or Turning right. I never see him turn left. He seems healthy so maybe he only knows how to turn right??? i don't know.

JD must like his new set up because he made a happy little bubble nest overnight or early this morning.

[jd-thebetta-fish]

I feel like JD is really enjoying his new set up. I added a glass vase to the right and a stump hide on the left. He's also been introduced to the occasional blood worm treat once a week or so. I am thinking of adding an African clawed frog and/or snail to his tank.

Also his fins are looking so much better, finally. Its been a battle.

[jd-thebetta-fish]

JD now has a room mate (which he very much wasn't happy about me bringing home I think cause the whole set up time he was flaring ALOT at me...) named Kahlua.

JD is finally also doing a lot better and not battling fin biting which turned to rot, anymore.
