Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum as well as new to the fish world. This past Saturday my daughter received a betta fish at a birthday party, we were excited about the new addition to the family but I noticed very quickly that the betta was in terrible shape, he came in a tiny container and his fins were all broken, he wasn't moving around much either. The next day I went to walmart and bought a betta kit that came with a half gallon mini tank, plastic plant and some purple rocks. The betta, his name is Dougy Gilmore lol still wasn't looking too happy so I did some research and got a few things in hopes of bringing this little guy back to life, I got a used 1.5 gallon tank, washed it out nicely, a thermostat and water heater, and his living conditions are a lot better now. He still seems pretty sad and not moving around much and it's making me feel terrible! Will he ever be better? And if so how long does it take roughly for them to be lively again. I'm really doing my best but nothing seems to change. Any advice or tips would be so helpful.
Thank you,
Nicole
