Hey everyone!

So I think I mentioned a while ago that I finally found a new betta after kroll died, but I never went in to details...well, no time like the present, I guess!

After kroll died, i waited for about a month for the perfect betta to come along....finally found him a 16 hour drive away on vacation....he looked so sickly and his left ventral fin was torn...he is a king betta...he looked miserable sitting in about and inch and a half of water in the same size cup as the normal bettas...very dirty of course...so I grabbed him, a 1/3 gallon betta keeper and some food for the drive home, water conditioner (did three water changes in that time)...then he went straight into krolls old planted 5.5 gallon that I had kept running for the next betta...so anyway, this is what he looked like day 1....(he had very bad stress stripes, too...even in the store

And this is him now: he is very friendly, always swimming up right away when I walk by, follows me around...never really flares, builds big bubble nests for me his fins have grown and colored up, he is extremely friendly...and his ventral fin is still growing back, slowly but surely

WOW! He is beautiful!

Thank you!

Oh and I forgot to mention, I think he will be getting upgraded for a 50 gallon in the next few weeks

Wow, what a transformation! The short-finned betta types aren't my favorites, but he's really a handsome boy!

Looking beautiful. I always hate it when I find a gorgeous fish I really want away from home - I'm not brave enough to try and transport.

Walter's a lovely boy though. Hope he does well.

He is a good looking fish. Love the colouration in his tail! I like rescue stories too, well done
