Betta Fish: Just a baby

Saw the tiniest little alien baby and had to bring him home. I had a cycled 10 gallon that was just sitting, waiting to be turned into a shrimp tank after telling myself I had enough bettas.

First picture is as a cup-fish, the rest are after a little over 12 hours of being in his own tank. I love watching him experience live plants for the first time, sus up the snails, and his little tail wiggle after catching a copepod 🥹
