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 my desk below him. He has been battling some fin rot lately due to fin nipping, but he seems to be recovering well after some recent treatment.

Here is my new Betta. I picked him up about 3 weeks ago and added him to a tank that had been growing out for almost 6 months.
He's a very inquisitive fish and will eat from my hand and follow his food jar around the glass.
I picked this one out because it looks like one that I had almost 10 years ago. Back then, I kept it in a tiny fish bowl. He lived for almost 4 years in there.
This guy lives like a king in a heavily plants 10g and eats only the best foods.
I will attach a verification picture very soon.

Here is my betta. I've had him for almost a year now. He lives by himself in a pretty heavily planted ten gallon. He was in a good mood and posed for this picture because he just got to eat some mosquito larvae. I'm pretty happy with how well he has colored up over the past year.

This is my crown tail betta. His full name is Indigo Montoya named after a combination of his color and the character from the Princess Bride. He lives in a planted 10 gallon all to himself. He is roughly a year and a half old. Indigo is a chill dude who eats pellets and bloodworms. One of the cute little tricks that he has is that he will swim to the front of the tank to say hi if you wave at him. He was sold to me as a female at my LFS store but when I got him home he had a huge glow-up and turned into one of my prettiest fish.

My guess is that many of our members have Bettas as it’s an easy to keep beautiful fish and doesn’t require a big tank. Hope to see at least 8 entries in this Fish of the Month contest. We won’t be featuring Bettas again till next year so enter your Betta today.

Be sure you include a validation photo with note stating “TFF June FOTM.”
