First photos are when he was in a 5g. The mechanical pencil is supposed to be for scale, I don't know how well that worked though. I bought him when he was seven weeks old. No where was it advertised he'd get that big... He's still a juvenile, only four months old. The corys you see next to him are fully grown, about one year old- if that says anything about his size.

After thinking about it I upgraded him to my 20 gallon. I think he loves it! It's been a few days and he likes all of the overgrown plants. No signs of stress, and he stopped chasing his tank mates on day two. I've seen no damage done to the corys. Just thought I'd share

Does he look like a king betta? At this point, I'm starting to think he is... Bought him when he was only about 7 weeks, now he's five months, which still seems like a pretty low age for his size. I have three other tanks running, and an aged but I unstocked 6 gallon long and a 20 gallon with stock (the flow is kinda high, so I don't really see it as a feasible option) I just wonder if he would fit better there. I worry because he has literally spent 90% of his life in this tank. Just looking for second opinions
