My new Boy, Jiro :)

[RaptorX8]

Wow, he is absolutely stunning! Very animalistic in the pattern. He looks like he has zebra and cheetah in him.

Beautiful tank and fish!

He's so pretty! I love the pattern on his fins...he looks speckled

Thanks everyone! I can't wait to get home to see him and take some "day 4" pictures :D. And no jumping horror this time because I fixed my lid XD I've been keeping the lights off in there just in case he has parasites and doing more regular water changes to help his fins heal, although he has picked up a LOT with the nice clean water and some peace and quiet, lol.

Ordering him some goodies too, NLS betta formula food and IAL from amy's ketapang on ebay :) The last lot of IAL I bought from ebay were from a random seller in the UK and there was hardly any colour in them ;(

I took a new picture of Jiro today and put it on facebook... quote from my friend. "I picture the fin on the top to be a top hat. Fishychap von Yorkshire"

"Add a monocle and a cup of tea."

So he went and photoshopped this in...

Gigglesnort.

Update on my boy! day 1- day 11 :) coloured up so nicely and he has stopped flicking and shaking since day 5 :) Being a finicky eater though and not eating his pellets or flake, but he just ate finely minced prawn/shrimp meat soaked in garlic juice and he loved it! Just the normal frozen atlantic prawns you can buy for about £3 per bag :) if I can find a good liquid multivitamin for tropical fish I will probably start making my own food mix for him to go along with his live food.

Such a drastic change, his coloring is very nice. As for food, I'm sure he just expects to be spoiled since he's so cute. ;)

[carbonxxkidd]

Wow! I love his colors! Good job with him :)

The pattern reminds me of a lionfish. Sorry to hear the last decided to try and fly though..now I'm worried about the small crack at the back of my hospital tank >.< not that mine's attempted jumping...yet.

[Sparrowhawk]

Wow! He's so pretty!
:D

(Loving the top hat and monocle picture too, hehe)
