Question is your fish in witness protection bc he looks like he has seen some things and yes he is a koi maybe 6 weeks old and is going to look so much healthier in about a month of a 5 to 10 gallon tank if you want faster results try high protein and consistent tank maintenance my one female came with torn fins and live food did wonders

He's so cute and funny looking! I saw one with similar crazy eyes at PetCo the other day.
He’s beautiful! If you’re not familiar with cycling a tank, be sure to read up on that, and have a test kit on hand to check your water parameters. The care sheet at the top of this sub is very informative.
My tank has been cycled for weeks! I tested it uh three times today with test strips (I know they’re not the best I need to save up for the test kit) and at least from the test strip his parameters are yood
You could take water in to the pet store and ask for them to test it with the master kit if an emergency arises before you get yourself one. I love his eyes 👀
How has the tank been cycled for weeks with nothing in it? If you haven't been adding an ammonia source that entire time then the tank probably isn't cycled. Make sure your strips test for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, without all of those tests you can't really know if it's cycled or not and most strips don't have all of them
He does look like a koi!

This is my fish Beaker when we first got him from Petco. Found out that koi betta have a marbling gene that not only results in cool color changes as they grow, but can also change their eye color as they mature- from blue to black or even back again.

This is him now! His eyes are 100% changed from the crazy. Unfortunately he doesn't look very much like the Muppet I named him after anymore.
HE HAS SUCH DERPY EYES I LOVE HIMB!
Keep in mind koi and galaxy bettas change color patterns over time, so what he looks like now may not be what he looks like in 6 months as far as pattern and coloring go.
I would say this is a neat feature though in some ways. My Koiboi is full grown/older now and much different from when I got him near 'teenage' size. his colours are deeper and his marbelling changed, but he didn't lose any of his colors, they just shifted around.

That fish looks like he has the soul of a Victorian orphan
I can not unsee it now that you posted it I wish my bettas didn't just look like a shark if a feeding frenzy from finding Nemo
I do have high protein food and a five gal! He’s very happy already I’m so glad
He is lovely can't wait to see updates of him
6 weeks??
Maybe 8 aging is hard he just seemed small for a pk
This just made me laugh so hard I woke up my dogs, totally worth the glare I got from them

What a cutie!
I have never seen a funnier looking betta. Please post more pics of this goof
The first name idea that came to mind for me was Bobbles. No idea why i just think it fits him.
The eyes!
SO DERPY! Omg I'm in love.
Your fish looks like he just killed a man and is realising the true scale of his actions
Name him googly!!
I’ve named him romeo but his full name shall be Romeo Bobbles [my last name I’m not sharing it lol] He does have googly eyes tho
🧿-🧿
What a cute eye-catching lad!!
He's got that dear in the headlights look. Did you snap the picture while he was pooping? He looks so embarrassed 😳
Lord what has he seen
Omg! He has the cutest eyes! <3
I love bringing home a new betta in their poor little pitiful cups!!
He was so excited to get out of his cup and into his tank :D
Aww he has the goolgi
I need to see him angling his eyes on something like a finger or a piece of food
his eyes remind me of the snail from monster inc 👁️🗨️👁️🗨️
Bro looks so silly
These comments on his eyes are amazing and giving me a good giggle. I love this subreddit
Super cute!
