Could he possibly be........ blind??

[BettaMomma]

It's almost time for me to go home.
I still haven't decided if I'll go back for him or not.
I'm on the fence about it.
I just keep thinking how I really can't take another one in, BUT.... someone who doesn't understand what might be wrong with him might get him and be disappointed, and that could be disastrous.

Get him and name him Casper. U know the drill, if you cannot stop thinking about him, then he is already in...lol. Besides, I think ur right, he has special circumstances. It's not a fungus, fin rot, or bacteria... he's disabled. If you do take him home...maybe a smaller space that he could memorize would be best for him...so he can find his way around and the top easier. goodluck

Post a pic if you get him. I wanna see.

That, actually, is a very good point. I'm worried about keeping him warm, although i was really thinking about maybe getting him something like a large breeder net to hang on the inside of my girly's tank.

Anyone see a problem with this?
Oh, hmm... actually that tank is not done cycling yet so maybe that wouldn't be the best idea for now - but eventually? For now I could put him into something....
even a goldfish bowl....?

Go get him, BettaMomma, you know you want to

A member on another forum has a betta who was blinded when attacked by a female who jumped a divider. This fish has apparently adapted very well. The owner does much the same things for his care as ThatDarnDragon has suggested.
