hi everyone! well i did it, what every betta lover does. i was walking by those little cups feeling so sad for the little guys, and a pretty gold betta flaired up and cought my eye. sadly his gills were swolen and i was afraid to bring him home, however right next to him was the most beautiful crowntail i have ever seen. hes dark blue, greenish, purpleish, and fushia. i brought him home, put him in my 1g bowl with treated water, a shell, and a fake plant. he swam around at first, but now a few hours later hes very lethargic and paler looking than before. hes resting on the plant and coming up for air. is he just getting used to his surroundings? tired from the move? or should i be worried? is there any thing i can do to pep him up? my last betta was great, always swimming around, esp when i was sitting and watching him. im prety sure he was a flirt!
he is still a little bit pale on the top and bottom of his head, and his gills are reddish, this could be part of his coloring, but who knows. i will post pictures when i get the chance.
