Thank you, all! I'll give him some extra bloodworms to celebrate :)

Meet my mustard gas betta, Sebastian, who I got back in February. He's my first fish in nearly 10 years and it's great to be back in the hobby. He resides in a Fluval Spec V and has got to be the most active betta I've had! It's a hoot to watch him explore and keep a close eye on me when I'm at...
