I went to a Walmart I've never been in before today... went for a few miscellaneous things... ended up with a new betta.
That seems to happen a lot on this site

I thought Walmarts stopped selling fish (at least around here)... guess not. They SHOULD. I went through the two shelves of cups, and in the veeeerrrry back (I had to contort my arm to reach), behind a few dead ones I found this guy, still hanging in. I could barely see him. He worked his way through the sludge water to look at me with... 'that' face. You all know what I'm talkin about!! lol

So, I got him.
He's a multicolor orange/pink (I'm sure he'll change once he gets to feelin better) VT. I've never been a huge fan of VT, but this guy stole my heart! He seems to be in fair shape, only a bit of rot. Gonna get him all fixed up in no time :-D
I'm thinking up a name for him. I have a few in mind. Ryo, Koen, Derrig, Akito, and Fearghus. Can't decide.... but I'm leaning towards Ryo.

Sorry the pic isn't the best, but you get the idea :lol:
I'll update as he settles in and destresses a bit.

He must look really pretty in clean water

Have you done a stress coat treatment for him?

 

[Findlay]

Yup yup, chillin in an AQ treatment, with stress coat.

He's already looking better... well, happier

 

[Bettas Rule]

That's wonderful. He should be good to go in no time!
Have you ever tried the Indian almond leaves ? I have heard a lot about them but never personally used them.

He's a beautiful color! I was tempted at Petsmart today, but I was a good girl....unfortunately.
