two new rescues!!

[Sena Hansler]

Georgie (yuh I named him) is an unknown aged KING BETTA who came in with the shipment of GOLDFISH :( He has finrot and bouyancy issues we'll see what clean water will do!

The other one is a blue, yes, the dreaded blue. Necrosis AND columnaris, so I PROMISE I will share pics but right now he needs to be hastily put in kanaplex!!

Wow congrates!

I don't think the blue will live, even Shadow who had a head start on this terirble underlying disease died. Columnaris weakened the immune system, stress I deem is the factor to which the disease of the blues from this store awakens. It's gotten his caudal... The columnaris has gotten his cheeks, body, fins, head.... Poor thing is gasping! But I'll try. I got him for free.

Now Georgie is a veil tail KING who has fin rot. And bouyancy issues... But he is a REAL beaut! looks kinda like Juniper and Shiloh combined and HUGE! He came in with goldfish, so no one knows his real age. Because of this fact, he was 2.00 compared to 7.00...

first three pics = Georgie. Last one is poor Blue!!

Awwww poor boy!!!I hope he survives!!!They're both gorgeous!!!

[Luimeril]

just because he has columnaris, doesn't mean he'll die. as long as you treat him and do everything they say to treat it, he'll be fine. he's lovely, though.

[Sena Hansler]

It's not the columnaris that has me worried..it's the fact it's teamed up with the disease that struck my 3 blues, who were from the same store D:

[Jessicatm137]

Awww... I'm sorry about your Blue... Hope he makes it!!!!!

[Sena Hansler]

I hope so too!! I even got pictures of my maroon gal xD her colors changes a bit.

[Sena Hansler]

My poor cotton ball.. I feel real bad for him. Columnaris must be a terrible ordeal for any fish to have to go through! On his belly, in his gills, on his head, sides, fins... D: The one betta I've seen worse than him...well two... one was looking the same but floating more. The other had open wounds, which seemed like they've burst or were scraped raw!

See all the discolored areas? other than the black head..... just all fuzz and disease D:

[Sena Hansler]

Unfortunately I guess the rescue was a bit too late... Blue had died while I was out But hey, he was given clean water, 2 gallons in fact... So he didn't die in a cup in a store where nobody cared!
