I know that I posted just last night, but I had to
introduce this guy. I just got him today from Petco and He's my fifth Betta. I've named him Tesla, or
"the scientist" after watching the ColdPlay music video. You can't see his
true colors yet but I'm sure they'll show up after I get him out of that dirty cup
and into his new tank. He's a veil-tail Betta but he has bitten off his caudal (tail) fin from stress. With warm clean water and some TLC though, I think
that it will grow back. The second picture shows how the caudal fin of a
veil-tail Betta should look and the third picture is the (temporary) hospital tank he's going into. When he's healed, I'll put him in a 5 gallon tank. Say hello to Tesla!
I feel so bad for him! Hope his tail grows back! Petco provides such poor living conditions for their animals, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteThanks Shadow Wolf.
ReplyDeleteTesla passed away a few days after the post was written, but I'm sure if he was still here he'd thank you for your kind words!
