My name is Daniel. I have been in the betta hobby for 3 years now, but have been in the general aquarium hobby for much longer.
I currently own two handsome bettas: a spadetail nemo koi named Ozzy and a delta plakat koi named Leon.

Introducing Leon!
This is my new delta plakat koi, Leon! He's a younger guy, lots tinier than Osbourne. I think he's just beautiful. :relaxed: He's one of the most active fish I've ever had, and he's very friendly - much more so than Ozzy! He loves to eat, explore, and play.

Another amazing bubble nest!
Osbourne's been a busy guy! I've never had a betta with such a bold personality. Flares at everything, builds huge bubble nests, and patrols his tank with fanned fins and a head held high. He has the heart of a lion!

Swim in peace, Starman
Ziggy seemed fine all day, but I went out for a few hours and in that time, he ed away. My beautiful Ziggy is gone. I am so, so sad. This was so unexpected. He had very severe fin rot that was not responding to treatment so I unfortunately knew it was inevitable, so I guess I'm at least thankfu...

Osbourne's bubble nest
Ozzy has made a few bubble nests for me since I've had him, but this is his biggest by far. I recently moved him to a nice 5.5 gallon and he really loves it.

My new boy!
After months of wanting to get a second betta, it finally happened! I decided to stay home instead of moving onto campus this semester, but even still an RA told me I can keep two 5 gallon tanks in my dorm. So, I brought this beautiful boy home! I considered getting a female to breed Ziggy wi...

Meet your nitrogen cycle!
The nitrogen cycle is an important part of keeping your betta happy and healthy. One colony, comprised of bacteria called Nitrosomonas, kickstart the nitrogen cycle as they consume toxic ammonia and convert it to even more toxic nitrite. A second colony, comprised of Nitrospira and Nitrobacter, f...

Yondu
I was looking through my photos and found this picture of one of my old bettas, Yondu. He was beautiful, wasn't he? He ed of a contaminant in the tank and not a day goes by where I'm not sad about it. I think he was my favorite betta so far - sorry, Ziggy.

A less than impressed Ziggy
Last night I turned my bedroom light on for a moment before I went to bed, which accidentally disurbed mister Ziggy's beauty rest. This isn't my best photo as I took it with my phone instead of my camera, but I thought his expression was too priceless not to capture. :joy:

Rainbow challenge! :heart: 🧡 :yellow_heart: :green_heart: :blue_heart: :purple_heart:
For my entry, I drew this cute little betta with rainbow fins! He's certainly much more cheerful than my little Ziggy cares to be. :joy: I hope you enjoy my little drawing! #RChallenge

Re-introduction.
Greetings, BKA - we meet again. A few months ago, I ed this Amino by the name of Daniel. I had a betta named Irwin whose health was rapidly failing; he was always on the weaker side from the time I got him, but despite my best care efforts, his health began to worsen over time. He develo...
