My Little Tatty Boy

[alessasavoca]

about a month ago I rescued a little tatty pink/blue boy from pets@Home (he was in with barbs and black widow tetras) His fins are awful, but are slowly healing. There was a major emergency at the weekend regarding my 'in laws' as one of their little corys has fungus, and they have no hospital tank, so I took my little boy out and gave it to them to use. I ummed and ahhed and in the end I decided that rather than put Zephyr back in the community (even in a breeding trap) it wouldn't be such a great idea as he was in the middle of treatment.

To cut a long story short I put him in the little plastic tank I use to put them in during water changes and set about doing 3x daily water changes (our flat is boiling so the water is at about 25 c. I did his morning one yesterday, then when I got back in from work I took the lid off to get him out to do a water change and he'd only gone and built a huge bubble nest! Bless him, he must be happy in there, it covered half the tank!

will post pictures later- you can see where his fins are healing nicely I'm really pleased with his progress.

Wahey, a happy ending....
(for once)
Glad he's doing better than expected and that you had the heart to 'rescue' a fish (succesfully may i add).
Ironic how someone elses fishy problems have resulted in a confirmation of your Bettas good health.

Shame you don't live in manchester, else i'd offer you the services of my blatantly horny female betta.
Can't wait to see the pics.

don't you worry I've got 6 lovely little girls who are all as horny as he is, also have 2 other horny men (bf not included lol) in other tanks but I just thought it was sweet, it's the first one he's built with me, and he's swimming a lot more proudly now. I do have 3 girls and 1 boy from manchester you know!
