Close encounters!
My beautiful koi betta Bisby has had a jumping spider neighbor taking advantage of her tank light to hunt bugs under for some time, and recently they met face to face! Very happy to capture each of them acknowledging the other - and Bisby's quick look back at me as if to say "you're seeing this too right?!" 🧡
Edit ✨️ For all those concerned, yes, she does have a lid! I'd just cleaned and was hanging out right there where I filmed from at my office desk. If you are new to fish keeping, please invest in a good lid or when picking setups, favor tank kits that include one!

Creation of the universe.
I thought of going with something fancy like that, but in the end, I just called it Space Betta.

FISH EMERGENCY
A few months ago I mentioned that my two tail betta fish, Loulou, had the fringe of his tail turning oddly opaque and white. I posted here to ask opinions, and ended up checking everything from new growth, to ich, to velvet, to fin rot, to regular wear and tear.
This was Lou when I got him, compared to about a six months later btw:
Out of my own depth, I went to an aquarist in town and showed them pictures, describing my concerns. They told me that it was most likely damage from something abrasive in his tank
Pics I showed them:
The thing is though, I don't HAVE anything abrasive in his tank??? He has a ceramic skull hide, which is a little bumpy but otherwise fine, and a smooth flat rock, and his substrate. All his plants are real and his water pump is protected by a sponge.
I left him in the care of a sitter about three weeks ago, and when I came back, his fins were noticeably shorter and far more haggard. I gave his tank a super thorough clean in case it was fin rot and told myself I'd go back to the aquarist later this week, when I'm not at work.
Then today I came home to THIS:
Photos are bad cause it's nighttime and he didn't wanna hold still for pictures despite treats but his fins have MULTIPLE broken spines and his upper tail is BLEEDING?
I noticed a bit of red on him the other day and mistakenly believed he was changing colours again, but it's DEFINITELY blood.
He has no other tank mates except for a few snails I put in there to handle the plants.
I thought maybe he was chewing himself or something but he cant reach the spots that are missing.
I'm sorry to post this here, but has anyone with fish seen this before??? I've had him for almost a whole year now and have not had this happen before
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated, I'm taking everything solid out of his tank until I know what's happening.
Thank you

Got a fancy new book on fishkeeping over the weekend which prompted this study (that i spent too much time on whoops).

i am a champion of the "throw stuff in and see if it lives with no planning or design in mind" method of aquascaping

Violet did not seem to enjoy the 20L so she will move back to the 15 cube & this boy is moving into the 20. he was in a filtered tank w shrimp and did not attack them at the store. he had been there for a while and the person helping me was very happy he is going home!

Little Hunter.
#kerytalk#fish nonsense#betta fish#betta#aquarium#planted aquarium#bettablr#fishblr#Arita looking for food#seriously she's a hunter#her diet is just scuds and whatever flatworm she finds 95% of the time#if she eats food I never see it#yes I've been anxiously checking her weight since day 1#I assume if she gets hungry enough she will finally eat 'the boring food'#but for now I'm not gonna knock it#means I don't have to worry about overfeeding

So I uh… I might have a problem. It rhymes with shmish.
Been making these little koi/bettas lately but I’m running out of surface space. Might make nice presents for people. Idk. They’re polymer clay painted with acrylic, and then resin. I’m trying to think of colour schemes, so if anyone has any suggestions, hit me up. X
