New betta for adoption!

Meet Jay, this sweet boy started out very skinny and I’ve been trying to get him to a healthier weight the past couple of months. After some time he is now ready to find his forever home!

Jay is such a happy, go lucky boy. He loves attention and will swim around excitedly whenever he sees someone! He enjoys being next to his betta friends but prefers being around people. He’s a people watcher.

Jay is still very young so he’s got a long life to live!

Tank requirement: minimum 5 gallon tank with a heater and plenty of places to hide

Food: he’s currently eating micro pellets once a day

Caring fee: $10

A caring fee is a fee that goes towards the food, medication, and temporary tanks for the fish that are under my care. This is NOT a rehoming fee, this is a fee for all the care that goes into helping my betta fish rescue!

I haven’t been able to rescue any bettas recently because I’ve been dealing with health issues. I’m hoping once I get better I can get back into rescuing 🥺

Last week I had someone reach out to me that needed help with their betta. He had developed dropsy and they needed help with trying to save him. They drove all the way from LA to bring him to me, in hopes he could be saved. So far he is doing well with his healing process and it looks like I was able to reverse his dropsy, as you can see the before (left) and the after (right). He still has a long way to go in his healing journey but so far all he’s been showing is improvements besides his swim bladder issue.

Fingers crossed and prayers that this sweet boy makes it 🙏🏼🩷

Finances are low and I ran out of donations for the bettas in my rescue. If you’d like to help out by donating, please check out my Amazon wish list of what is needed https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/124UD05VU8IUO?ref_=wl_share

I’m currently really in need of Catappa leaves that I use for all the sick bettas.

I also really love these Aqueon glass aquariums because they’re the perfect sizes for my rescue. The 1 gallon and 3 gallon are what work best for me. If you aren’t able to donate any of these items, I do accept Zelle or Venmo:

If you can’t donate at all, please share this page to your friends 🩷 Thank you!

Most likely going to end up keeping all the bettas in my rescue since most of them have already been with me for a year now. They’re all happy and I don’t want to throw them off from their comfort 🥺 Guess that means I can rescue a couple of bettas soon!

Oliver is such a sweet and beautiful boy and I feel so bad for him. (Disclaimer he’s in the cup temporarily as I’m I’m currently doing a water change on his tank)
This poor boy can’t swim properly because his fins are way too big. He spends his whole day laying down on his plant 🥺 I’ve tried everything I could to treat him for swim bladder but it clearly isn’t the issue since this has been on going for several months now. Also have treated for bacterial, fungal, and parasites but they didn’t work since he doesn’t have an infection. He doesn’t have fin rot and doesn’t seem to be super stressed since he still has all his colors and no stress stripes.

I wish I could find a way to make him happier but all I can really do is keep him comfortable and cared for ❤️ He unfortunately cannot be in a big tank with a filter. I currently have him in a wider tank with shorter length and keep the water halfway up, because he has a hard time getting to the surface.

Please let me know if you’re interested in adopting this sweet boy and giving him a loving home for the remainder of his life.
