My wally-world rescue betta

- Start date
Wall-E's looking good today! The ich hasnt cleared up yet, but I managed to feed him some blood worms and pellets!
So anywho, on the topic of starting a "betta rescue coalition", I've found a couple of websites that seem to be on the ball already.
These people snatch up sick fish and adopt them out to good homes. I would love to be a part of their operation, and I sent them an email (an extremely awkward email lol like this: hey i love what you do! could I, um, maybe do this with you puhleease?!)

Here's some other people I have not contacted yet who do betta rehabilitions:

There's a lot of other aquarium forums who discuss this stuff too:

This thread is disgusting:

Talks about how "colder water is better because it won't grow algea!"
I don't know--I think we should try and unite these betta-loving people and their efforts. If there was a giant website for rescues where everyone worked together, we could use our internet cred to make petitions and contact horrible big chains/bad LFS's, eventually stopping the need for rescues at all.
