Picture Heavy - You Should Meet My Newest Member...

[Greynova27]

I know that we are young and I know that you may love me... but I just can't be with you like this anymore... Alejandro.

Yes, I named my fish after a Lady GaGa song. I'm just that awesome

I'm sure many of you know that I've had gender confusion issues with this fish. I bought him labeled in a veiltail female container... I bought him as a rescue with fin damage that I assumed would just be, you know, a perfectly fine female I could later add to my sorority...

WRONG. He flares. Like crazy. At anything. And he made a bubble nest.

That's one way to prove Petco wrong. Heh. Without further adieu, here is my healing Alejandro thus far. :)

Day 1:


Day 4:


Day 9:



EDIT: Here's his bubble nest I discovered yesterday morning:

Gorgeous! Nice progression! His fins are healing nicely.

[Greynova27]

Thank you much :)

[BettaxFishxCrazy]

He's gorgeous!! Great job. :) Elvis just ripped a couple places on his back tail and one on his bottom. XD Probably from over-flaring from seeing his reflection. I always yell at them when they do it.haha

[Greynova27]

Hehe yeah I'm paranoid that it could happen to Alejandro while he's still healing. :P Oh us overprotective owners.

[BettaxFishxCrazy]

I know! Their tails are soo gorgeous and than they go and rip them...the nerve of them!hahaha :P

[Greynova27]

Yeah, my delta tail got a tear in his tail and I just stared at him and asked, "Um. Why?"

[BettaxFishxCrazy]

Hahaha! I talk to my fish all the time and my sister will walk in and be like "umm you're SO weird." :P

[Greynova27]

My mom says that to me yet I'll catch her talking to one we have downstairs. Hehe.

[BettaxFishxCrazy]

Lol! My dad talks to his fish too so my moms used to it. :P
