After treating the aquarium and testing to see that everything is alright these last few days, I picked up a new betta yesterday morning. Not really sure what he falls under as far as his coloring but he caught my eye right away.

Look at my baby!

This s MooMoo in her temporary tank a day after I got her. (She was slightly in love with her thermometer):

This is MooMoo now, only a few months later:

Look at my precious fishy child. She is so colorful and happy! I lover her to bits.

This is quite possibly the best picture I’ve ever taken of Eros. Showing the candle who’s boss. (Little turd had been biting his tail, we’re working on that.)

When you’re highly upset by being woken up, so you go flare and sulk in the corner. 😂 Hades legit flared at me the moment the lights came on. Cmon man 😩.

Proper Betta Fish Care: A Masterpost

Hi!!! I’ve noticed that a lot of people who aren’t taking proper care of their betta fish are genuinely misinformed about what is the proper care of their pets. So I’m going to make a huge post that has a good summary of why bowls are bad, what the proper care parameters for a betta fish are, and some popular myths debunked! 

I’ll also be putting it under a readmore. (It will be bulleted with important parts bolded/underlined and with summaries at the bottom of each section for those who can not read long chunks of text, like me!)

I finally got a picture of Glitter! She’s so speedy. I love her iridescent scales along her back. So stylish.

Of course Speck always look like she rolled around in dirt… but so cute.
