definitely, five of my bettas have been rescues, and they've all grown SO much and really flourished since i've had them (or at least since i've had them housed properly after being educated, i made a lot of stupid mistakes in the beginning )

that would be great!!! i have some of the pictures from when i first got everyone, so when i find my camera i'll definitely have to post new pictures. they are LONG overdue and i know you're dying to see your babies!

I'm so glad your little guy is doing so well!
The three I have right now didn't have any overwhelming transformations, but I still kind of wish I had gotten a "before" picture of Deuce when I got him.

He was a rescue fish: lying on the bottom of his horrid little cup, he was barely covered in water (and that's not giving him room for his dorsal fin... just barely his body). I would have taken him home anyway, but he was extra-beautiful, too: cream colored with navy-blue edges to his scales, and navy veins through his tail. I took him home and immediately got some water at the correct temperature and diluted his cup to half-and-half, and half an hour later moved him into a gallon of clean water. I knew I was going too fast, but I couldn't stand leaving him in that cup...

LITERALLY five minutes later, I walked past to discover a different fish. He was no longer cream colored: he darkened to lovely mustard yellow. The blue was brighter, and he had a slight irradescent green sheen. He had his fins on display for me, too. All for only one gallon of clean water.

They sure give back all they can for a little TLC, don't they?
