I found this guy when I was doing betta water changes. I was flabbergasted 😭 I've never seen a one-eyed betta before, and in such good condition all things considered. Grumpy McGrumpster over here looks so angry lol! I would be too if I were kept in a cup, poor buddy. He'll be put in his forever home tomorrow (I was planning on redoing my tank before I got him, which I'll finally get to tomorrow since I'm off of work), so I didn't want to put undue stress on him by putting him in and then having to take him out and such since I only purchased him tonight. I don't endorse purchasing animals like bettas from pet stores, but I couldn't let such a beautiful fish meet such a tragic end in his cup or in someone's uncycled 1.5 gallon tank. I did swap out some of his water to get rid of some of the ammonia in the meantime, yet it still looks so nasty in the cup 🤢.

I would love some name recommendations for him!! I tried to think of some fishy plays on pirate names, but I couldn't really think of any.

I can't wait to see how he looks once he's in my 20 gallon planted tank tomorrow!!
