My Poor Betta Baby has been sick for the past week. I've put him in a new tank (completely free of anything and everything) and have been medicating his water, but he doesn't seem to be getting much better. His fin rot is going away, but he seems depressed still.
So I'm changing how I take care of him. I'm going to decorate his new tank, pull out all the stops, feed him lots, and pretty much make sure he's happy. If I were sick and possibly dying, I would want to be surrounded by colorful things that made me happy instead of just a plain bowl with nothing in it.
Pictures of his new quarters may or may not be forth coming.
I want to take lots of pictures of him though, because he's the inspiration for a tattoo that I want. Over a year ago, the day I got Blitz, was the day my dog, Maddie, had to be put to sleep. I needed something, anything, to help stem the grief so I went to PetCo and bought my little black and red Betta. He helped me stay sane and is very important to me. I want to remember him somehow if he passes.
you are too damn sweet! I didn't know you got him when Maddie got put down. :( I miss Maddie... I know how that is though, I almost went to get a rat or something when Toby was diagnosed with epilepsy, just in case. I hope Blitz pulls through!
ReplyDeleteI hope he pulls through too. He's starting to swim around a lot more, so I'm taking that as a good sign.
