At least he'll have a better life with you than he would where he is now, even if that life proves to be short

I'm glad everyone finds this amusing.

Harvey is acclimitizing to his new 5g as we speak. I went out and got sponge filter for him and everything -- he is going to be one loved little mutant!

Upon seeing him, the growth is actually WAY bigger than it looks in the photo. It looks like a brain.

Photos later if I can wrangle my partners camera!

Borrowed my boyfriends camera and FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER I can take a picture of fish without just getting a blurry glare!!

Mugshot, Harvey/Brain coming over to say hi.

His, uh, bad side.

FTS. It's still a wee bit murky, and doesn't look that nice yet. I need to add some more gravel and plant the sag properly.

He's actually prettily colored, growth on his head aside. Love the blue scales with the orange fins

I know, I was surprised when I saw him, I thought he was brown or grey. His stress bars are gone now too. :)

He was kept in a little 1L compartment alongside 4 other bettas. That's about 0.2gallons. :( At least the others are being sold to hopefully nice homes.
