| Good luck, and remember PICTURES! Try pick out a needy one who you know would die soon if you don't come to his aid. They are more rewarding, and you save a life. | |

| thats waht I will do.. I think I'll just go to petco, since my petsmart "cares" a bit more about their bettas (the cups are cleaner and bigger... at the very least) | |

| Ok, the poor thing was exhausted!, I feed him and he devoured his food like he had never been fed before! then, I turned off the lights and I will let him sleep...
His cup said "Feed betta sparingly, 2-3 times per WEEK  " | |

| Ok, here... finally pictures!
sorry they arent quality pics... but the little guy is so happy with his new home he can barely stop moving around!
The poor thing swims with his ventral fins close to his body... (since they are completely peeled...) and hes also missing a lot of scales in his head as you can see...

I cant stop staring at my little boy! He is incredibly happy with his new home!!!!
When we were going to petco my bf told me:
"let me get you the betta"
I was like "why?"
"because today, i want to be proud of myself, I want to make two wonderful living things happier than anything in this world"
and he did !!! | |
