The Road to Recovery

[Arashi]

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.

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

 

[Arashi]

And now look at them!

Happy...

Unstressed...

And with fins fully intact! (I honestly cannot believe this little one made it. )

 

[Storm]

Rescue job well done. They are gorgeous little girls!!

 

[SirMinion]

Wow, that a huge improvement. Well done! She's lovely!

From this

To this

Is amazing!

 

[J0hnny]

nice improvement, way to go

 

[lovebuzz]

Whoa that's amazing. They look like completely different fish.

 

[Arashi]

I know! I totally didn't think she would make it. But she's a fighter. I'm very proud of her.

 

[Sasha]

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

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

Wow Arashi!! That is truly a sign of excellent fishkeeping!!! Good job!!! They look so cute!!!

 

[Arashi]

Aww thanks everyone! These little girls need all the love they can get.

Sasha - I hope Crimson feels better soon.

guppygirl - Thanks...that means a lot. They are just the sweetest little girls...very tame and incredibly friendly.

 

[MissClaire]

Well done!!!
You are obviously their true hero!

 

[Sorrell]

Amazing Bri! You have done a wonderful job, they look awesome

 

[cutechic]

Wow, the 3rd girl especially looked dreadful. I can't believe what a recovery they've all made- good work!

 

[enchanted]

Prove that a little and good care can go a long ways.

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

Tough lil' girls

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.

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.
