The Road to Recovery

Arashi · Oct 2, 2004

These are the little female Bettas that I rescued from Wal-Mart a little while back. These little girls are fighters. They survived a tank full of vicious Barbs and are now here to show off how beautiful they can be. :wub:

Pics of when I first got them. They were washed out, super stressed, and shredded. :-(

And now look at them!

Happy...

Unstressed... :wub:

And with fins fully intact! :wub:

(I honestly cannot believe this little one made it. :wub:

)

I know! I totally didn't think she would make it. :wub:

But she's a fighter. I'm very proud of her. :wub:

They're gorgeous! Their colors are more intense and their fins are completely healed under your care! :nod:

My male betta, Crimson, has a little finrot on his fins . . . but he's recovering.

OMG-- I cannot believe lil' red there was a wal-mart betta-- she's gorgeous. :blink:

Tough lil' girls :flex:

Tough bettas are so cool-- I have a short-fin plakat I bought a couple months back. He's in a tank with serpae tetras, but they don't even dare nip at him. He gives them the "I'm a bad ass" flare, and they run and hide under the bog wood. :lol:

Ah well, he's going to become my little sister's class met, so he'll have it a lot more peaceful. I'm going to make sure they're setting up a nice two gal with floating plants for him . . . under my supervision of course. :sly:
