Long story short, I got this little lady a few days ago, a female Betta. She looked stressed in the store but figured she would color up once at home. Although her stress stripes are gone, she has a dark rim on her fins, weird red streaks on her fins and her gills are usually slightly flaired. The first pic is really blurry but hopefully you can see the shape if her gills sticking out.

My first thought was just that she had a rough time in transit, etc. But since I am paranoid I am thinking septicemia now or something. I am treating her with clean water and salt right now. She isn't getting worse and may be slightly improving but just wondered if anyone had any ideas.
