Experimenting with my new style

I was trying to get a nice video of Pinky when I felt something nudge my hand and was met with a thief

He stole quite a chunk of my applesauce idk how long he was at it before I caught him but my feelings are so hurt right now

Before and after of my new betta. He’s still recovering but he is SO much better.

I didn’t wanna post about him until I knew he was gonna be okay. He looked like he was knocking on death’s door at the store. I wasn’t sure he would survive the trip home, much less the following days.

I got him on the 12th and put him in my 20 gallon but in a breeder net. He couldn’t swim but for a few minutes before collapsing, exhausted, so I wasn’t gonna let him free in the tank where he had to swim up a foot to get air and food. When he did swim, he leaned towards one side so he couldn’t swim straight.

Today, on the 15th, he looked so good and energetic that I decided it was cruel to contain him any longer so he has been freed and he is LOVING it. He has explored every inch of the tank and has been hunting the brine shrimp I put in. I feared he would wear himself out but he seems to be fine.

As you can probably tell, he’s still underweight but I’m working on that.

All in all, he is a very happy fishy. It seems nothing was wrong with him that warm, clean water couldn’t fix. ^_^ Though he had me scared for a while rofl.

My wee baby shrimps! Until two weeks ago, I thought I only had four! I’ve never seen them so active before, it’s amazing.

Shrimp exploration log, day 34. Where the fuck am I?

I’ve had this beautiful guy for over a year and honestly I’ve never loved a fish so much. The first picture was taken a couple months after getting him. During that time he was being conditioned for breeding. The second picture was taken today, and oh my gosh I hadn’t realized how much he’d changed! Look at how much his rays have filled in! Look at how skinny he’s gotten! Of course his attitude hasn’t changed any!

I never named him because I never imagined I’d get so attached to his personality, but maybe I should’ve. I honestly hope he’s got a few more years in him, however I imagine he’s got to be at least a year and a half already. He’s one of the first fish I got when I came back to the hobby last year, and when he’s gone I’m going to be devastated.

TLDR: I LOVE MY ANGRY NO-NAME FISH SO MUCH!!
