Just rescued this guy today from a vase at a friend's house, apparently he was purchased from Wal-Mart like a week ago and after my buddy did some research on them, he realized he was mistreating Damo(cles). When I went over today, I told him about my new 5 gallon and how I was going to get a betta, and my buddy suggested I take his new betta.
I put Damo in and he immediately started exploring, hunting detritus worms and daphnia in my tank, and I took the photo right after he jumped for the first time. He has been very active, even though he was very sluggish in the vase, and in the bag during transit. I know he's got a scar on his head, but aside from that he is beautiful! Depending on the light, he shows blues, purples, reds, greens, silver's and gold, he's flared for me once really well so far and his gills are a healthy red, his fins look as though he is a mix between a crown tail and a veiltail, they retain the veil shape, but have tips like a crowtail would.
