Normally i get skeptical about "betta rescues" but you can definitely tell that the rescuer knows what shes doing and thats a relief. Fish meds, plants, filter, and the eventual transition into a 10 gallon tank. 10/10 rescue
Such in some seachem prime, weekly water changes, and the fish will be living long
Does it come with chips though
@@trcs3079 nah, changing the water weekly, kills the good bacteria from the aquarium
@@solo_solo So when do you change the water? Idk i want a betta
I think 2 weeks prob?
@@Mihaelaa00 actually I do it somewhere all 3 months. Or even later.
Probably not how many would tell u, but my fish r still all alive n fine, I also have a beta male :)
It makes me happy to see someone caring for little fishes. They are so underappreciated.
@WORLD OF FAMILY GUY , Go away troll.
Someone caring for someone.
Yes; it's so nice to see someone care for the littlest animals 😊
Lmao how was your fish fry you recently ate?
I had fishes growing up, they were really adorable and playful, the only downside is how short they live, they are also very delicate creatures especially the small ones, you need to take very good care of them
it should be illegal for stores to treat animals like this😢❤
agreed
I agree. Generally though, it’s an issue of space for Bettas. Since they are required to be in seperate tanks it’s not feasible for a pet store to keep 20, 5-10 gal tanks for each Betta. So they remain in cups. I know most pet store employees try their hardest to care appropriately for their animals but it’s hard to maintain low enough ammonia levels in little cups which is generally what kills the betta. Also many places don’t know that Bettas require heated water and again heating those cups is nearly impossible. What really should happen is that pet stores should stop carrying Bettas and we should buy from reputable breeders but that would drive up cost significantly which most people don’t want for what they consider a throwaway pet.
@@mostlyghosteyanother idea is that the betas could be kept in a large tank with each other, but there is a partition that water can pass through seperating them. This would make it easier to heat the water, would keep the bettas from fighting, and the larger tank would help the water quality.
There's only one place around here that sells bettas (as far as I'm aware), but they do pretty well at caring for them. Ofc it's a smaller building so they can't have huge enclosures for all the bettas but they counter this by regular cleaning and cycling. You'll almost never see a sick betta there and when you do it's usually because an employee hasn't gone through there yet to check on em.
they could just put the cups on a consistent heating element. Other than that though I got no solutions for the rest other than just not having to have as many bettas on hand at one time.
It really does look like he’s smiling how cute
Its also sorta funny.
Cringe af.
I know Right he is so cute 😍😍
He is smiling!!!❤️
U are a good Mama ❤️
My daughter had a beta for 6 years. She was beautiful, clever, learned tricks and could tell the time. She was also affectionate and would come to the surface to be petted. My daughter loved her passionately and misses her deeply, 4 years later. These animals are not decor or disposable. They are sensitive sentient beings deserving of care. RIP Raindrop.
wow 6 years is a good long life for a betta!
What do you mean she could tell the time?!
@@hairjordan2620 Raindrop would be waiting at the exact same spot in her tank at the exact same time every day for my daughter to give her a treat. It was one of their rituals. She would wait at the surface before bed for her goodnight song and pet. She would also swim through a little hoop that my daughter made her. It was so cute. She laid eggs one day, which was amazing to see, even though she was alone in the tank, and then a year later she made herself a nice bubble nest (which is a male beta mating behavior). She was a very interesting little lady!
You and your daughter are the BEST of humanity.
@@rdred8693 What a kind thing to say! Thank you! 😊
I bought a 'feeder' goldfish (she was about half an inch), for 50 cents, several years ago.
She was incredibly social and intelligent, and would always recognize me when I was near her.
We had her for over eight years, and lost her a few weeks ago.
She is now buried in our backyard, in a beautiful box, with a rose my husband picked from our garden.
I miss her.
I won a goldfish at a carnival when I was about 11, I had him for 3 years. He was beautiful, and I loved him.
I'm so sorry for your loss
@@ashleyglaceon1150
Thank you.
I had a goldfish from a festival I got when I was a little kid & didn't know any better. He lived with me 10 years & got too big that I had to give him to a woman with a big spring fed indoor pond. He lived another 3 years with her. I loved him. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@jaimezimmerman1670
What a beautiful story.
AND, thank you....
There's something very special about people who see the value in a tiny, almost-gone life like this one, and take the time to nurture it back to full bloom. If not for Emma this fish would have died and been thrown away and no one would even have thought twice about it. I admire people like her, and think there is something there we could all aspire to.
exactly right!! you nailed it perfectly
Does doing the same for a plant counts? 😂
@@MinutePlant yeah
@@MinutePlant Yes
i always buy the weakest looking plants, because i know that they will get thrown away if i dont buy them
When I first brought home my little guy Bishop, he was almost completely black. The day after I moved him from his cup to a tank he started showing blue and red and within a week he was just bursting with color and life. This little guy doesnt even look like the same fish! It really is remarkable how much a little love and care matters, and its so awesome being able to watch their transformations.
Having learnt about animal care, its so disappointing to see how badly animals are treated in petstores, it always best to not support them but sadly people still do unknowingly. I am glad this person saved that fish and Im glad it was given to them for free because I wouldve been outraged otherwise, that store should be ashamed
Thank you for taking care of a fish yourself too, Bishop sounds like an adorable name! Thanks to people like you, they get a second chance
@@meh8396 Not all pet stores are the same, not all of each store's employees are the same, just as not all humans are the same. Way to throw the whole lot into one pot just because of your personal experience.
@@DawnMK2023 Excuse me mate, did I say ALL petstores somewhere in my comment? No, I just said petstores in general which, open your eyes sunshine, its true. I didnt have a “bad experience” as you liked to assume, Ive been to many petstores in my country and all have been inadequate. Im not blaming the employees as you also seemed to assume for some reason, Im speaking about the PETSTORE, oh right, thats a huge mega company franchise, not individual employees
When I say the petstore shouldve been ashamed, yes, they shouldve, that petstore should have better standards which isnt the employees fault, not like some market people will listen to some petstore employee
A small company pet store I feel is more likely to take care of their animals since theyd have know-how. Another thing is, a lot of people who work in petstores dont even know how to take care of the animals they are selling
If a pet store sells proper sized fish tanks and only proper size mate then id believe you all petstores are saints. A thing I was taught was buy animals from people who have a know-how and buy from petstores that show decency and respect towards their animals
Dont assume things people say for the worse then comment on it just to sour someones day
Question? What body of water did you find him in?
@@MorganAdzei It was a pet store not a body of water 🤣
I also took a Betta home with me as a rescue about 4 months ago. His fins were so short and rotted away that I wasn't sure whether he might secretly be a female, the poor thing! He went from a lethargic, sad fish to a beautiful Halfmoon Betta! And he's got so much personality, it's insane! I've had many fish in the past, but the Betta for sure are full of personality compared to other species! These rescue videos make my heart so happy
anyone know what meds she used to treat him
@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet that blue stuff is Ich X.
Same thing happened with me!! I bought a small sad pink fish and now have this majestic red thing that thinks he’s a member of royalty.
I bought one feeling bad it was in a tiny cup. It was so full of life it always followed my finger around the fishtank. Sadly, it got depressed once I started working and going to school full time and stopped wasting to eat. I decided not to buy anymore fish since I wouldn't be able to give it proper time like I used to.
@@yuria2175I’m glad you decided to stop owning fish because one became sad when you couldn’t pay attention. Fish are like any other animals and can enjoy spending time with their owner
Looking at him at first I didn't even know he was a betta. I'm so glad this lady cared for him. The littlest animals deserve love too
I figured he may be a betta bc they mentioned s/he is lazy....😊💙
He looks betta and betta every day!
Ikr me too
They deserve freedom
@@dukhi_aatma372 sure, most animals deserve it, but they have a really good life and a much longer lifespan in this aqarium. They won't breed if their habitat is not well suited!
Even a tiny little heart will blossom and grow healthy under loving conditions 💗

@WORLD OF FAMILY GUY 🙂😑
@WORLD OF FAMILY GUY no thank you haha
🥰
Maybe that will happen for me then lol there's still hope
My lord! It looks like a completely different fish! There was no color and hardly any fins. The fish would have died very soon had she not saved him. 😢😢 That's amazing! I don't know anything about health issues of fish, it's nice to know that there are people who do and they care enough to do things like this. ❤❤❤
Those antibiotics saved the fish's life 🙌🏿 so awesome of her to give it a 2nd chance at life. 🥺

Sigh go preach elsewhere. Haven't your ilk realized that this method of "conversion" doesn't work yet? Do better.

bruh, this fish memory is only 8 seconds
@@valt1337 not really, most of the fishes can remember their owners face, fishes can tell a familiar human face from dozens of new faces with surprising accuracy and they can also develop a bond with their owners.

@@valt1337 Yes thanks cause Google doesn't exist right, bruh just search scientists never said that.

Agreed
What variety is he? He looks like a marble glow to me, but I'm not entirely sure.
I rescued the last 3 betta fish sitting at a Wal-Mart. I bought them all separate small tanks, 2 died by the morning. The last one named "Norm" lived for 4 years! I bought him his own 20 gallon aquarium and he would dive and swim like a cute little maniac. Soooo excited for the space and freedom. I loved that bugger so much I took him to my parents house to bury him under the big oak tree that was planted for me when I was born. R.I.P. Norm ❤

This makes me so happy to see him rescued. It breaks my heart the conditions in which these fish are treated and sold.
Darn right.
IMO the worst is the conditions in which they're bred, there's extensive spread of illness
I wish the stores that sell them would be honest about their housing requirements, that they need ideally 10 gallons and up, a heater and filter. They sell them off as these "convenient desk decoration" pets that can live in a cup and require very little care, when that's just not true. They're not ornaments, they're quite intelligent little creatures with personality and deserve to be treated humanely.
@@EmEm78 I say 5 gallon minimum with heat and filter. If I get a hint that they're going to be using something less than 2.5 I usually refuse the sale
@@EmEm78 not true chain pet stores will not advertise that they can live in a cup. Where I work we recommend no smaller than 5 gal. We tell customers one thing and are forced to sell those cheap fish bowls. Very frustrating.
Look at this gorgeous fish! 🐠 Without your caring treatment he most certainly would be dead. Glad he got his second chance!

Poor guy but thanks to the person who saved him ❤️✌️(thanks for all the likes*
@WORLD OF FAMILY GUY
One word: No.
@WORLD OF FAMILY GUY why are you talking such bullshit to persons you don't know?
This woman is a saint! Who else would think to help the dying fish in the pet store? ❤
After watching a video of some scuba divers interacting with an angel fish like it was a dog - Every dive, the same fish would come over and swim around with them and show them stuff. Like a tour guide for the reef - Ever since I saw that video, I'm convinced fish are just like every other animal... they have thoughts and feelings, too.
Link ?
I agree ❤
Read the newest scientific studies on the subject. Turns out there's more to them than just swimming around aimlessly
How incredibly kind hearted of this lady to save this tiny, sick fish! Just amazingly sweet!❣️
As a betta fish owner٫ I can agree that the bond you can have with them is emotional 😊
I've never seen a fish in this state survive. Great job! He's definitely a fighter.
Emma, you're a truly compassionate person with a giant heart. Thank you for saving this boy. He deserves a happy life, too. That pet shop should be closed. Peace a blessings.
I'm beginning to think that all pet shops that actually sell animals need to be abolished. The amount of abuse and neglect that happens in them...
@@audreydimmel6674 PetSmart is the biggest offender. In my experience, small business pet shops tend to be much better, with healthier animals and people who know how to properly maintain them.
@@audreydimmel6674 well how will you get a animal
@@ericweiss6258 indeed, small shops are better. In big shops the water mostly circulates trough many more tanks and that's the reason why diseases can spread more easily. They (mostly) also don't care about single animals, it depends on their value. Their only thoughts: money, money, money...
@@madmonty4761 from a rescue ffs !
Bettas a quite intelligent. They recognize their owner and other people in their environment and can be taught tricks. A happy betta need an environment with enrichment and lots of plants to explore. A sick fish in quarantine needs to be treated the way his rescuer treated him…
I’m so glad the fish is in better arms now :) it was a pleasure to see the fish become more and more happy 😃
I like your profile picture
So...most of her bettas died from some disease that spread like wildfire among her tanks a couple weeks ago, and this little guy and another Petsmart rescue were 2 of the victims. Very sad, but their lives were so much better in her hands than they'd probably ever dreamed of in their little urine sample cups.
I never thought I'd say this about a fish but he is so cute. Thank you for helping him no animal should suffer and he was suffering.
Fish are a lot smarter than we think. I have had many fish with complex personalities. You saved that fish's life. That means a lot. Thank you!
I love this. All creatures matter ❤️
Facts
Here, here
I'd wear that shirt!! ALL CREATURES MATTER
Thank you Dodo and Emma for publicizing the abuse fish often go through in commercial pet stores and educating people about betta care through your cute videos!!!
Exactly!
We need to spread and help educate people! The more people realize the utterly disgusting misinformation that bettas or goldfish can be in a tank 5 gallons or less, or sell those horrible bowls the sooner people can put a stop to the abuse.
The fact it's common for fish owners not to have filters, heaters, or think goldfish or betta only live a few years is just so sad. With proper housing, care- it's shocking how many people don't realize a goldfish can live 20+ years.
I always got the "ugliest" Betta I could find and they always turned out to be the most beautiful. I had one go from ghostly white to a really pretty blue and another white one went to red/blue. They were gorgeous and just needed some love.
Hi. How did you manage to save them? I put fish antibiotics in my dying bettas little bowl but no signs of him coming back
@@victoriaserna1495 clean water, the correct temperature, and a cycled filter usually do the trick. They're usually suffering from ammonia poisoning in the store.
@victoriaserna1495 'little bowl'? That could be the problem right there. A single betta needs at least a 5 gallon tank (ideally 10 gallons or larger) with heater, filtration, and a stable nitrogen cycle.
I’m a Freshwater Marine Life Expert, I’m so proud of you and what you did for this guy!
anyone know what meds she used to treat him
late reply but@@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet considering it was a water-dyed product I have my bets it may be a Methylene Blue. Good to treat fungus, parasites and also to clear nitrite/ammonia levels.
What a heartwarming story . The little guy (or girl) really does look to be smiling. All it took was love 💕
it's a male, female bettas have short fins
And a tank with quality water, and antibiotics, and food...
@@anna1417 absolutely..but love came first. 😀
@@Ass_of_Amalek oh ok, "little guy"
I don't get how people can think fish have no feelings! This was beautiful 💜
I had one beta fish who lived for 5 years, but my favorite one was one that I saved from the brink of death. She was the cutest thing ever and loved to follow my finger when I moved it on the glass. She had these big eyes and was really playful. She always greeted me at the surface of her fish tank for food. Rip to all my fishy babies. I’m a dog and bird owner now, but honestly fish owners are some of the most respectable people on earth. Thank you all for looking after tiny animals people find “boring” because they are most certainly not. ❤️
This has become my passion. Picking out the sickly bettas, taking them home and nursing them back to health. I now have 11 of them 🥰 They're incredible little souls
God bless you! This video inspired me! I hope it will inspire others
Same! I currently have 8 of them myself. 3 males & 5 females. Each one has their own personality & I love them all! 🐠
I have a question, I’m currently doing the same. I have a little male crown tail betta who has an issue with his swim bladder. He swims almost vertical. He’s doing a lot better compared to before but I’m not sure what the cause of his bad swimming is. He isn’t as lethargic as he was 3 days ago when we got him, but he is quite hunched. I don’t know what the cause is, any ideas for how to treat it?
I am so glad this lady rescued this betta. I just rescued a sick betta from Petco just a month or so ago, every once a week, I change his water, and now he is getting better. I named mine Denzel 💙
Betta are amazing fish and it breaks my heart how they are so mistreated. She literally save him as he was about to pass away. Amazing
The fish loves her. She did him a love deed.
I ❤ the phrase "love deed".
For anyone who might not know this, including her, he might not be lazy but. His fins just might be too heavy for him to keep swimming for long. It’s kind of the downside to getting long finned fish. The fins don’t stop growing, and after a certain point it just might make it took difficult for them to swim by weighing them down
Wow, I had no idea that was a thing. Selective breeding, I assume. Thanks for the info!
Yeah, I prefer "plakat" Bettas, they have shorter fins and look closer to the wild fish domestic Bettas came from. They've always been more healthy and active in my opinion, probably cause they don't have to drag around half their body weight in fins. I hope the glofish modifications they did to the Betta (this fish is genetically modified to be 'pretty' :/ ) doesn't affect their health in the long term.
Out of curiosity, could you in theory trim the tips of long fins to give the fish some relief? Or is the fin too vascular to safely trim without risking pain or infection?
Their fins contain nerves and blood vessels, so you definitely do NOT want to trim their fins.
@@miradschatten thx for this info I was just about to ask this question
The color change was really dramatic! I love this story
This is beautiful, she gave the fish a reason to live his best life, and he fought for it. He survived and now he’s thriving. If he could give an account of humans, based on his interaction, he’d say that the person that saved him was the best, most loving, gentle and compassionate soul he’s ever met!
What a transformation!! Meds, bigger tank and lots of love and attention. What a great story ❤
Every little thing wants to be loved. Taking care of that beautiful fish likely doesn't mean much to and for the whole world but, it means EVERYTHING to him. ❤
That's because God (in this age now very necessary to add, The God of the Bible) made everything in love and with love and by love because He IS Love!
@@chefjimmie1 Someone should explain that to literally everyone I know right now.

my first goldfish, shona, was a literal rescue.
my mum was outside chatting to a neighbour, and she saw another neighbours cat strutting down the street, all proud of itself. she thought she saw something in it's mouth, so she ran over to see, and it dropped a goldfish in it's garden and ran off. so mum grabbed the fish, put it in her sun hat and ran into the house with it. we got it into a basin of water, and started swirling the water, to try and help get it into it's lungs. it was touch and go, we kept an eye on her all night. in the end we gave her a cap full of whisky in her water, and she perked right up.
i had her for i think 5 years after that. she had almost no tail when i got her, most of her fins were shredded from the cats mouth, and half her scales were gone too. but she grew them all back and had a stunning tail and fins!
we did try and find out where she'd come from, but no one seemed to know. to this day, no idea.
she was a great fish :D
That is absolutely shocking as most of the rescue groups I've been in basically say if a cat got it, it's more humane to put the rabbit, bird, etc. down because of the bacteria in a cat's claws & mouth.
You gave a fish whisky to heal it? Like an old cartoon character?
Not throwing shade because it clearly worked, but how'd you even think of that?
Great story! Proud of you're wonderful family:) by the way does the whiskey work as a painkiller for them?
@@PlantKitty My thought was that it was probably the only thing on hand that resembled either a disinfectant or a painkiller. Probably shouldn't have worked, but I'm glad it did
Oh my gosh that was INSPIRED! My great aunt used to give whiskey to her fish too when it got upset. He’d literally throw himself out of the tank (in front of her) to get him some whiskey. 😂
My great aunt was a very tuned in lady. She’s not sure why it worked, just that it did.
Wow, his color's are absolutely amazing! I've never seen a Betta fish with those mix of colors. He's turned into such a happy, healthy and beautiful fish. It makes me so happy to see him look so happy. Some humans are simply amazing and a gift to this earth and society. She's definitely one of them!
I’m so glad you saved this beautiful Betta. I hope he continues to thrive in your care and lives a very long, happy life.
The fact that that little fish looked completely different before and grew into something beautiful is mind boggling! Amazing. ❤
You are an Angel for taking care of this little fish that unfortunately most people would have disregarded it ❤
He got better because he knew he was in good hands ,he felt your vibes really.
I swear he was waving his cute little fins at her to tell her thank you when he got better and he was definitely looking right up at her 😱 so cute!!! What a wonderful thing for her to have done!
Cheers
Thank you for rescuing him! He’s so beautiful 😻 We just got our first the other week with almost an identical story. I was at an everything store and was looking through clearance rack and at the back was this dirty betta cup that you could just make out a shadow in there indicating there was in fact a fish in there. After confirming they were alive I took the poor misplaced and forgotten lil guy to the customer service and they offered him to me for free. The first few days were touch and go but he’s beginning to thrive with clean water and good food ❤
You're a very kind person! Thank you for helping him 😊
@@jaimezimmerman1670 thank you. Sadly he passed away last week. He was doing so wonderful and even got color back I just don’t know what happened ☹️ water parameters were perfect and made sure not to over feed. He will be greatly missed 💔
That was a miracle. Who else would have cared for a FISH ? Nobody. That's a lucky little one. He developed so beautifully.
I am totally SUPRISED. I've had fish all my life including betta fish, and had no idea that a sick fish could be saved. I was under the impression that a sick fish had no chance of survival. One of my fish was a blue betta who lived for 8 years.
Honestly as a species we are learning alot, albeit slow. I'm glad small fish tanks are not the norm as much as they used to be, NEVER let them silence your feelings. 👍

I am happy you did save him, he is SO BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE of you.
And yes he is smiling 😃
How can you not save that sweet face? ❤💞❣
I just rescued a betta with my fiance the other day. He’s so small he could barely eat and his fins have mostly rotted off. We tried crushing pellets but they’re too big still. So I got him flakes and he eats those no problem. He’s dark red and white now but had almost no color when we got him. His fins are still in rough shape but he’s happy and we’re trying our best.
I don't know if it's available in your area, but adding a bit of methylene blue to the water can help his fins heal. We can get it in little bottles of liquid at the pharmacies where I live. If you can't find it there, you might try looking for it online in a preparation for aquarium use.
He does look like he is smiling! Thank you for looking after him and nursing him back to health! ❤❤❤

What transformation ❤ he’s lucky you found him when you did. It’s also nice to know that fish at that state can still be rehabilitated if the individual is willing to put in the care and time. Awesome for you for doing that.
That's awesome that this lady was able to revive and give this wee Lil fish love and a home. You're a good person. 👍
Thank you for the 👍s on my comment.
oaww wee Lil fish is such a cute thing to say
Wow you gave him his life back and a bigger, cleaner "home" with plants! How wonderful ❤
Thanks for giving this little guy a chance
The way people treat animals tells me more about them then they ever could
This is really a heartwarming story ❤❤❤
I believe The Dodo is the answer to all depression, hate and fear. Tyvm for getting millions of people through their day. I hope you know how much you do. Tyvm for all you teach about humans and animals.
I am glad the little guy a second chance. So amazing how he developed.
CONGRATS YOU HAVE BEEN PICKED AMONGST MY WINNER'S DM THE NUMBER ABOVE🏅🏅🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊
I had a betta. I saw him in a Georgia Walmart and he looked so pitiful, (I wish I could have rescued all of them). He made it all the way back to North Carolina in my cup holder, with me constantly keeping an eye on him. He was so beautiful, I named him Cinnamon. He was my baby and I knew he was happy. He loved making bubble nests. I loved when he would jump and play with my fingers (more than likely trying to fight them😂). He loved sweeping the gravel from underneath the sea shell in his tank and napping underneath. He was so smart (he was!). AWWW this back so many memories. I still have pictures of him.
He got so pretty when he was well, that's amazing!
What a beautiful transformation !Thanks for loving him !
I love betta fish, they are so silly and have funny personalities. They really make beautiful and fun pets. Give them a proper set up and watch them flourish. Little bowls and tiny tanks are a no go. They are curious fish and really intelligent so it is important that they have enough space and stimulation.
Just because fish can't express pain doesn't mean they don't feel it. The treatment of fish is so unbelievably cruel.
You are a literal angel. Most people would have given up on it but you had to knowledge to save it! People need to realize fishes have feelings and aren't as dumb as they make them out to be😭
Amazing! I love knowing that there's other people in the world that have the heart to want to save even the tiniest little creature. How rewarding to see him transform into such a beauty
How wonderful! Thank you for saving this neglected 'ugly duckling' - that became a fantastically beautiful 'Swan'!!
Thank you so much. You are an absolute angel of a human being for rescuing him.
Wow, this woman did her homework, when it comes to parenting! Thanks for your efforts!!🎉
I always knew that fish were intelligent and reconized us.Nice you saved him.
What a surprising recovery! And how sweet for the very kind woman who saved this little fish! It seems to be incalculable what good care and a good heart from people can do for our animal friends!
As a fellow Betta enthusiast, carry on the good work! We have had to treat our little friends with antibiotics as well, and get teased for it! 🤣
Almond leaves make a good addition to your tank as a preemptive strike against microbes.
Our little friends are Ghost and Lady Di Anna Ross. ❤️🤓
This woman is a goddess. Thank you for saving this little fish who was basically left for dead. Fish are very delucate and need the appropriate space and filtration to thrive.
Thank you again for this angel of a human. Compassion and knowledge help save lives.
What a wonderful human being. I wish everyone showed this much love to all the little creatures.
That was really a miraculous change. You are an angel to bring this sweet being back to life!
Precious! All creatures deserve their best life. Thank you for rescuing him.
Thank you for saving him. Fish are amazing and special creatures and very precious as pets. Every life matters in my opinion. ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Beauty as a reward for kindness and caring is a fair relationship.
Fantastic 😊 thank you for investing in his little life!
He is the cutest little Betta , I ever did see!
Emma, you are an Angel. 🙏
Thank you for saving this precious little man's life 💛💛💛
Fish are underrated pets. It's amazing for someone to save one.
As someone who has had only fishes as pets for most of my life, I really appreciate this! I did the same and tried to save a few fish in my life as well. Thank you
Mankind can be so cruel at times...Bless you for saving the little fish🙏🙏💖💖
