does my new betta look healthy?

Post by kindo »

Hey guys, I just got a new betta and now I have two - this one and my blue/yellow crowntail who's moved downstairs to a 10-gallon tank. I'm just wondering if you notice anything off about him? I picked him up from Petsmart on Friday and he's already exploring his new space. He's a dumbo halfmoon, but I think there's some crowntail in him too - he's got those spikes on his top dorsal fin, just like my other guy. One thing I did notice is a slight bend in his back, which I'm pretty sure is scoliosis. I've done some research on it and it seems like it's not a big deal, especially since it's not affecting his swimming. I'm having a hard time deciding on a name - I'm stuck between Olympus and Apollo. Here are some pics of him - he loves showing off, but he's super camera shy lol.

His eyes do seem a bit bulgy, and that top lip is puffed out - could be the pic though. If you take some more pics, upload 'em to your computer, and then go through 'em to find a good side view, that'd be super helpful to share here, maybe we can get a better idea what's going on.

Thanks for the feedback coltin, I've uploaded some new pics of his eyes and mouth, hope these are more helpful. He loves showing off, but cameras just aren't his thing lol.
