Nice job!

Are you a StarTrek enterprise fan by any chance? :p

How did you get their fins to re-grow? just naturally or did u add some meds?
 
It's not Enterprise. It's 3 Musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Of course, that doesn't mean she isn't an Enterprise fan, just that Archer's dog isn't the inspiration.

You need a D'Artagnon now! Can't have Athos, Porthos, and Aramis without a D'Artagnon!
 
Here's D'Artagnan, I didn't post him because he wasn't a rescue, but he is the brothers of Aramis, Porthos, and Athos

And I was a fan of the Next Generation, actually! I know, :nerd:

We were adding a bit of extra salt and some Bettafix to their bowls. Of course, extra clean water and meds helped for fin regrowth. Most of the improvement you see above is because of good nutrition (we rescued them because the store had had them for over a month and no one was feeding or cleaning them--except me and my friend). So, live blood worms does wonders for the bettas! That and a little salt is as good as meds in my opinion. :fish:
 
oops... just read that you rescued them from a store...

Has anyone purchased fish from www.bettaboys.com? I just ordered a blue angel crowntail from them!

They eat like pigs and are growing bigger everyday! It makes me so happy to see them. :D They RUN over the edge of the bowl to see if they're going to be fed. They are sooo cute! :)
