When I first got back into fish keeping again <1yr ago, I got Koi. Listed as a Dumbo Galaxy Koi Plakat. I admit, I was always biased to the long finned bettas vs the shorter finned. But he truly changed that for me. If anything plakats are so much hardier out of the betta breeds. His marble jumping gene has his scales changing weekly, it is really fascinating to see. When I kept bettas as a child- I never saw galaxy patterns!
He was tiny when i got him ~7 months ago. He has done great with tetras however I ultimately wanted to ensure he was alone upon better research on my end.
He has been so patient with me, making this a great experience back into the hobby.
Just wanted to show off some before & afters. :3
