Betta Fish: Baby got Big

Few pics of my girl Franny growing up! Last two are from today. I've had her for almost exactly a year.

She's an absolute unit now. I highly recommend getting a baby betta and watching them grow. It's very rewarding, and fun to see how their colors develop. I thought she would be solid red- but she ended up being this kind of dirty red with her black spots, and her head is still pink. And her blue was quite the surprise!

She's the designated "mother" of all my guppy fry, they live with her until they're big enough to go in the main tank. She's a very sweet fish. She flares at me when I have my hair up, because obviously mom always has her hair down.

Unfortunately her tail is a little torn right now because she thought sleeping on the filter intake was a good idea, but it's been growing back nicely.
