I suppose I should give a warning, this betta was a rescue, so he wasn't very pretty, nor was he very well. =( It may be hard for people to look at the first few photos, but they get better, I swear. ^_~
My grandma decided to keep my rescued betta. I tried to give him away and she got mad at me, went and got a new tank, and I set it up for her. lol I hope to get more photos and do an update or a few, some people have asked me to post photos.
This is Mister President, he started out red, white and blue. Once he started recovering from his hell on Earth, he started getting in some green and even a bit of purple. We kept the name anyways. lol He was kept in a cup that had only about an inch of water in it, he lost or chewed off his fins and tail, we're not sure which. He also got a case of fin-rot. The water is a little murky, but it's a new tank, and also medicated to help him out with his fairly fast moving fin-rot. He's doing much better now, no longer medicated, his rot is almost completely gone, and he is one happy fish. Today his tank has been set up over two weeks now I believe. I will get new photos of his tank and how he's doing later on. =)
First off, this is how he looked when I found him, someone had left him for me on the table, never found out who did it, but it was obvious he was a rescue and I had tanks. x.x I added water to his cup since his back was actually hanging out of the water! GRR people! >/ Make me so mad.
And this is him after he got into my ten gallon tank, it was a community tank, and unfortunately the only tank I had for him. Thankfully all went well until about a month later or so. He's still a little blah. I have two photos, one from day one, the other is from about day three or so. You can see he's missing some tail there, and other fins to boot, but also how fast he started recovering. Sorry, bad lighting in a few of these, was also having problems with the ten gallon tank. That's been fixed!
No, I didn't switch him out with a different betta. lol He just got happier.
Well, this is day one of new tank, some of the gravel, plants and almost all of the water was from the ten gallon he previously resided in, the rest was filtered and heated before adding in my little buddy.
