Poor thing!!!

That is so kind of you to give him a chance. What about some frozen brine shrimp or frozen bloodworms? My Betta loves them.

Please keep us updated on his recovery.

He's got a full belly of pellets! The rehab container he's in is too small for a heater, so he's got a heat lamp on him during the day.

Good news! He's perked up and has a full belly! Even flaring! YAYYYY!

That's good news that he's showing aggression: I bet the improved water and food have perked him up. If he's eaten a lot today, I might let him fast or just feed one pellet tomorrow, to avoid stressing his system with too much too soon. Looks like you're doing a great job so far! :clap:

 

[xoparis]

Yep, thats what I was planning! He's going to be a total pig when he gets to be a bib boy. He was grazing on leftover pellets at the bottom of his container!

Its also looking like he's going to be a DT.

A video, just for kicks! I have a very good feeling about this boy!

He's active, good sign!

Aw, the poor little guy. It's so sad when he flares but no fins to flare with. So great of you to rescue him, he's in good hands! Is Magnus his name? I love his colors.

Looks like you are doing great getting him fishey-shape!
