Crush(my first betta rescue!)

[Gracie8890]

As some of you may already know from my post in the emergency section, i have rescued a severely sick betta today from the evil grasp of walmart. His name is crush because when we were walking out of walmart my mom stoppedmat at a soda machine and got two crushes instead of one! So because this event was lucky, i thought naming him after it would also give him some luck. So back to crush. Currently he is in a 5gal hospital tank(ik big) and im using epsom salts and stress coat with him. Crush is bloated, has swim bladder, and fin rot. His color is a dull gray. And you can even tell that he was once blue. Seeing him breaks my heart. So here is crush on day 1 of our journey to (hopefully) recovery, sorry the pic is sideways and his reflection is messing the view a little bit

Thanks! I hope so too, he is such a little fighter, as soon as i put him in the tank he immediately perked up! So lets hope hes not too far gone and makes it through the first night!

I think he'll be fine, it sounds like you are trying to take the best care of him that you can. Enjoy your soon to be beautiful boy!

Thank you all so much! Crush and i both really appreciate you all! He made it through the first night! However so far there has been no improvement with his bloat, but its still early in his treatment!

He will be a beauty soon. I bet he starts to recover and color up within a week!
