My betta was delivered around 1:30. He was double bagged and the box had a pink Styrofoam lining and my betta was placed inside with some shredded newspaper. His coloring was faded out on his underside and anal fins, but once I acclimated him to the water in his quarantine tank and and fed him his coloring started to come back. He survived the journey! He has the fearless curiosity that I so love about bettas. He doesn't shy away from anything new, he has to check it out. When I cupped my hand against the inside of the aquarium for the first time, he swam through the little tunnel my hand made without hesitation. It seems all my bettas enjoy this little exercise and it seems they don't mind being touched. I have really enjoyed caring for them and still getting my thoughts together about how to go about addressing the pet store issue and the way they treat these amazing creatures; it just sickens me!
