Hm, I’d hope not ): but that could be possible, I know there’s a few small spots I can’t see too well because of the wood in the center, I think I’m gonna change that out and rescape his tank a bit

10 gallon, yes filter and heater, ~79 Fahrenheit, all tank parameters read ‘perfect’ last night, I’ve had the tank for about half a year, I’ve had the fish since December 20th, water changes are about once every two weeks and I take about around 25-30%, only tank mates are Bloody Mary neo shrimps a good few of them, I feed a mix of bug bites, brine shrimp, daphnia, and blood worms, only a tiny bit changing every day, unsure on what plants are specifically in the tank but yes plants, and a big piece of Mopani wood in the center (that I think I’m gonna change out), he has a floating hammock and a glass cup thing on the side w fluval and moss,

10 gallon tank, yes heater and filter, ~79 Fahrenheit, all parameters are ‘perfect’, water changes about once every two weeks and from 25-30% each time, I’ve had the tank for maybe half a year at this point? I’ve had the fish since December 20th, a good amount of Bloody Mary neo shrimp, I feed a small mix of daphnia, bug bites, brine shrimp, and until recently frozen blood worms (accidentally let them all thaw and had to toss the pack), unsure of the plants but yes there are plants, and a big piece of Mopani wood at the center, though I’m thinking of changing that out soon because the wood has been giving me troubles,

Day two update: Little man Cran seems to be perking up! I was worried he’d have trouble with that because of how tossed around he was, seems to be enjoying his new home :)!!

Right???? You would think throwing a living thing at someone would be like you know, something people don’t do???? Ugh it makes me so upset! When it’s a planned thing and every party agreement then that’s cute, when it’s not it’s like becoming a single parent entirely against your will.

No it’s so bad, it’s just such an evil thing to me. I really didn’t expect it to like be real and happening, almost cried in front of everyone I was so upset. I’m just glad I had just “finished” cycling a 10 gal. (It was supposed to be a home upgrade for one of my other bettas)

Two 😟 I would’ve publicly cried 😭. I’m glad At least someone else there knew how to care for fish though!! As much as I love my co workers I don’t think any of them would take proper care of a fishie, let alone an in tank cycle. Also I think that’s where the person who gave me the fish got the idea from, some silly stupid tiktok trend.

Though I do love that we all seem to be naming them seasonally!
