October 20th my heart broke when I saw him in a dirty little cup at meijer. His colors were so pale and he was still just a young little dude. With $150 in my bank account I caved and bought him and all the basics. I’m still learning how to be a good fish mom and although he’s only in a 3.5 gallon for now he is doing so well! His infection on his head is finally healing after (a million different medications) and Kana plex I don’t know if I will need another round, but his colors are super vibrant from the fluval bug bites, and his fin growth is INSANE! And today I got to watch him build a bubble nest right outside his log (his favorite place) not breeding him but he would be the sweetest dad, so considerate to share his log 🄹! I’m hoping to upgrade to a rimless 10 gallon with real plants soon but I’m a broke teenager. Hopefully I will get one for my birthday I also asked for the api master water test kit because these strips don’t even give me ammonia levels and I believe he has ammonia burn that’s healing. Anyway that’s my transformation the second I get more money I’m going to spoil the little guy with plants, caves, a ten gallon tank and hoops this is just the beginning of our journey together!
