My camera is terrible, can you tell??

Right now, besides the really torn up boy, Ive been working off Hikari foods, and they're LOVING it! They eat like horses and are extremely active in their hospital bowls!
 
I FINALLY got photos of the turq. HM! I had to stick him in my barren 20g in order to let him roam, and then put some black cardstock behind it to show the white in his fins! This is one of the fiestiest fish I have EVER seen!

And even though the photos give him kind of an emerald/green body color, he's actually a VERY pretty turqoise.
 
Very pretty fish. I've always liked bettas, but kept 'em just long enough to breed 'em once, raise the fry and move on to the next challenge. Haven't kept one in 20 years. Anyways, good luck with the rehab project. Looking forward to seeing these boys healed, and BTW your pics aren't bad at all.
