Hey! How are you today friend? 😄

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it but there’s been a few things going on with the critters, Cinder is now a senior and the 40 gallon indoor fish are doing pretty good. However Takeda over Easter weekend started going downhill fast. He was lethargic, being stressed and not feeling good he tore up his fins, and developed dropsy so I was scrambling to treat him only to discover that he had developed a tumor on his right set of gills. He died on April 1st almost two years old. After doing some research I found out that long finned bettas are prone to temperament issues (including self harm) and genetic disorders as well as bettas with pink, yellow, and white coloration are prone to cancer, organ failure, swim bladder issues, and being weaker genetically are more susceptible to parasites and disease. So I had emptied his tank and scrubbed everything in it down with diluted vinegar water and I wasn’t going to get another betta but petco had a 1 dollar per gallon sale for members so I ended up setting up a ten gallon, cycled it, and started my search for a healthy betta. I found a domestic betta/wild betta imbellis hybrid from a reputable breeder who owns a store not to far away. My collage science professor recommended him that’s were he gets his fish for the science lab aquarium. So I got Taiko.

Taiko is very chill and has only flared once since I got him, it was the first day I went to feed him. I’m guessing he was still scared of me because he flared and backed away but after that he’s come right up, he is like mesmerized by his tank heater it turns red when it’s heating and green when it switches off the first time he noticed that he was swimming by and he just stopped and backed up to stare at it like “What is this sorcery?!”. He is goofy and tries to jump at my hand when I go to drop food in the water. Welp sorry for the ramble just thought I’d share 😂

p.s. the betta imbellis picture is from a random website not the aquarium store’s website I’m honestly not sure if it even has a website
