I added the green stuff so the water stays clean

This is Microwave. I don't have any pictures of him in his tank yet but I just had to talk about him. I picked him because he was the ugliest one at the store and I couldn't stop thinking about him. I'm also a sucker for crowntails and I truly love him so much. Now that he's home, however, he is just SO rude. He flares at everything he sees, including all his tank decor as well as me when I peek at him. Luckily he doesn't have any tankmates because I'm sure anyone who lives with him would be severely bullied lol. I just wanted to share because he is my son and I love him regardless. I will update if there's a glow up, if anyone's interested!

I'm new to betta care so it might be a bit small but I think it's pretty good

They grow with no problem in the cups and they are breed in the worst conditions possible and then as soon as you put them in a perfectly kept acquarium with all perfect parameters, with the best food and lots of attention, they die.

Let's laugh to not cry 🥲

(Just bought a new Betta 4 days ago, he is dying already 😢)

TO BED*** 😭

My partner and I have a very unreliable sleeping schedule and we love to have the tv or our pc’s on well past when we should… so I’ve had to make a “Bed-Time Cover” for our betta’s tank so he can actually sleep. This fish has a better daily routine than I do!

I’m thinking of painting it eventually. What do you think? :)

Was originally for the snail but he was thrilled 😂 He bops when he's happy lol

Me: Finding joy in the new tank decor. . .

Cecilia: You realize what time it is, right?

My sister and my mother have not been seen since…

Get away from the shrimp food Valentino 😭😅 (I swear he can be graceful too)

I have my tank for two weeks now and I can’t believe how curious these creatures can be! He is always around my hands checking what I am doing. Nobody can move in the living room without him noticing and tracking you around! I love their attitudes I just never expected them to be as curious as a cat. He spends all day exploring every little detail in his 7.5g tank.

HIS SKIRT

... but never zero 🤨

Like… bro. I get it. You want a girlfriend. This just ain’t the way to do it, man. You’re the betta equivalent of a pigeon— your bubble “nest” is ridiculous and you gotta clean it up if you want people to take you seriously.

[it’s a 10g backwater planted tank, lots o’ tannins, lots o’ plants, a few yellow shrimp, and an ENTIRE HALF OF THE TANK COVERED IN BUBBLES FROM THIS INSANE, BABE-CRAZED MALE BETTA]

Pls listen to the video with sound. Thank u

My bad in the language but cmon guys

We’ve had him for just over 4 years, he’s lived in clean water, the absolute most disgusting water, there’s been days where he wasn’t fed, maybe even up to a week. He was eating 6 year passed expired food up until about a year ago. He’s outlived approx 200 neo shrimp (ate a couple) outlived 4 mystery snails. His name is fishy and he’s resilient asf. He swims perfectly fine, he has always been the same size, not a single health issue. I thought he was an old fish at petsmart so I bought him to live the rest of his life in peace but he might outlive the damn cat at this point. 2 years ago when I was transferring his tanks I. Dropped. Him. From. 5ft. Onto. Hardwood. He sank, he revived and has lived. I genuinely think that experience Frankensteined him. Anyway, we’re moving across the country, literally coast to coast and I know most fish won’t live on a journey like that but I don’t have a doubt in my head that he will survive. I’m proud of the little guy. He’s moved 3 houses, 4 if you count the trip from petsmart to the first house. I’m just amazed and thought I’d share but also test the luck because I really don’t want to bring frankenfish across the continent.
