Working On Saving A Betta

[Ruskull]

MissMarie, you are my hero. Kudos for saving that Betta. Please post pics and work toward a 10 gallon tank if it's a male & you can't add it to your females.

Oh yeah, if it's a guy, I'll work on getting him his own nice roomy tank!

Setting up her tank in my room right now xD it's on my nightstand. Since I'm moving soon, I'll be spending quite a lot of time packing in my room, so, I can keep an eye on her. I'm adding water now to give the sand time to settle! I added prime, a half dose of betta fix, and a drop of betta revive. I find those kill anything left over in the tank, is a good preventative, and if something is wrong, is great for helping until I figure out exactly what is wrong! My neighbors used to bring their bettas to me when they were sick for a stay at the "betta hospital" where I was in charge of healing them. Only lost 1 - poor boy had dropsy. He had pine cone scales when he got here

Glad its in a good home now, they can be tough little cookies and can be saved from the brink of death by good water quality and food..

 

[MisssMarie]

Yep! She's coming here tomorrow for sure! Gonna spend some time in quarintine, then meet the girls!

Well, wanted to add a plant, but all I have is a plastic one that's quite sharp. So, I added a spawn mop. Made a plant from yarn, and stuck the base under the rocks. It looks like a yarn plant!

Here it is without the mop plant:

What do you guys think??

 

[Man of fish]

It's yarn? as in cotton yarn?

 

[MisssMarie]

Yeah, simple yarn (been soaked over 72 hours as I was going to use it in my killies)

That's so neat. I love ideas like this. Have you done that before with Bettas? I would love to try it.

You are a genius

 

[MisssMarie]

My other females loved it! They would swim through it and have fun! You can let it float or sink it! Use any colors - but soak it for 72 hours at least, after rinsing it so no color runs off!

 

[FishFanatic04]

gonna get some soaking tomorrow
