Adoptable Bettas

ADOPTABLE BETTAS:
Picasso (Adoption Date TBD)
Picasso likes to explore his tank and will swim along the bottom to poke around at whatever he can see. He will need at least 5 gallons and will enjoy a lot of clutter and hiding places to explore. He likes to sit on plants near the surface. He is currently fighting fin rot and will be available as soon as he recovers.Vader (Adoption Date TBD)
Vader is fighting swim bladder issues right now and is stuck floating on his side He is a gorgeous red and black and is fighting to get better. He will be adopted out as soon as he is able to swim normally.

If you are interested in adopting a betta, please email [email protected] with the following info:

  • Your name

  • A photo of your tank setup, how long you've had the tank cycling.

  • Which fish you're interested in adopting

  • Whether or not this is your first time having a betta

ADOPTION FEE INFO
There is NO ADOPTION FEE. Adopters are screened on how well they'll take care of the fish and then given them for free. However, each tank setup cost me about $160 + the sick fish + medicine, so anything donated to help offset that cost is very appreciated because I am a broke, minumum wage college student with low hours and it came from out of pocket.

Before and After

Liberty- Doubletail male, Rescued 7/14/26. He is staying in a new tank with me. He came here with severe swim bladder disease. He was stuck floating on his side for 2 weeks and was able to sit at a normal orientation on week 3. He was able to start swimming normally in September. I thought he wouldn't recover and would have to be euthanized after we hit week 4, but he made it through.

Picasso- Halfmoon male, Rescued 6/9/26. He will be up for adoption soon. He came here with severe swim bladder disease. He was stuck floating on his side for 3 days and was able to sit at a normal orientation on day 4. He was able to start swimming normally on day 6.

Monet- Halfmoon male, Rescued 6/9/26. He has been adopted. He came home with sinking issues and fin rot. He's doing much better already and will be ready to go home once the fins are healed up.

Orion- Halfmoon male, Rescued 5/8/26. He will be staying at the rescue, his color is not back. He came home emaciated with severe swim bladder issues, bloating, ich (parasite) and fin tears. He's doing much better already. He's showing signs of metallic blues, orange, and black on his fins and he has pretty blue eyes.

Francis- Doubletail Halfmoon male, Rescued 6/6/26. He came here with fin tears. His tail has healed and he's gotten his color back. He's been adopted.

Misa- Halfmoon Female, Rescued 4/12/26. She is not for adoption, personal pet. She came home with swim bladder issues, bloating, and fin rot. She's doing great. She was the fish that made me decide to start the rescue because she was so tiny and sad.
