My first betta was a beautiful red koi named Calcifer (cuz I liked his spark). He passed after 10 months. 3 months after I got Cal, I saw Howl at my LFS and I obviously brought him home. I couldn’t pass up how responsive Howl was to me. They overlapped a few months in two different 10g tanks so don’t come for my throat.
It’s been 18mo now since I brought Howl home. I named him after Howl for his beauty and color. Iykyk. He’s still thriving and healthy; never been sick; a voracious hunter (he ate most of my red cherries 😵💫); but now he’s blind. He doesn’t respond to me or light anymore and I’m counting down the days.
Thankfully, this sub taught me to train him early on to respond when I tap on the glass when I feed him so that’s the only time he reacts these days.
My heart is literally breaking every day over my pretty boy. I never replaced Cal and idk if I can keep bettas anymore. Like I’m preemptively mourning my bb boy I can’t 😭😭😭
