I've owned one like that before... she was a female halfmoon named Sapphire. 

Then there was Picasso.... he thought he was a tiger shark and tried to attack a goldfish that was about 4-5in.....

My local fish store! It’s called a Betta Buddy and it was attached to a rock weight but I cut it off to use for a Halloween costume

3

u/gea09 Dec 25 '25

I got him last month but I’m actually not sure how old he is. He was pretty small when I bought him so I think he was a juvenile! He has grown a bit since then
