Hey folks, just thought i'd offer you guys a slice of FW paradise: male Bettas aka Siamese fighting fish.
Me and my husband a couple months back rescued about 7 deathly sick bettas(won't mention the store)where the cups were only 2-3 inches high of water, algae covered, the fish starving and fin rotted. Its been over 2 months of healing and clean water and we have 2 that are fully healed and ready for a home. They come with: a 1/2 gallon vase(i would reccomend getting 1-5 gallon tank in the future though), gem stones(blue or green) and a care/info sheet(written by moi :D) so all you need is the food, dechlorinator and your decorating skills. The male Betta and the set up is for $10.
They have such great personalities, many we hand feed and they're so easy to care for.
Thanks!
EDIT: Just took some shots, so here ya go. You would not recognise them from what they looked like before.

Before, still repairing, fins shredded, faded colouring:

Was very skinny as his head was wider then his body, also bad fin rot infection.

and now with fully repared fins, filled out body and more coloring. I'll have to get a shot of him flaring, but he wasnt being photogetic. He has beautiful aqua coloring with red tipped fins.
