care and support for rescued bettas

UPDATE!

I'm thrilled to report that the two boys are doing amazingly well. The daily water changes and stress coat have been working wonders for them. Their recovery is far exceeding my expectations, and I'm over the moon (no pun intended). One of them has even earned a name - I've decided to call the white one with black spots 'Moon'. I'm still unsure about their breeds, but the other one is starting to show some gorgeous green iridescence, and I just can't wait to see how he turns out.

From what I've researched online, I was prepared for a long and arduous recovery process, possibly taking up to a year. But it seems that the damage wasn't as severe as I initially thought, and they're bouncing back much faster than anticipated.

I've also got some exciting news - I'm expecting to get my hands on a new phone soon, so I'll finally be able to share some pictures of my little guys. I'm literally counting down the days until I can show them off and share their progress with you all.

I'm feeling pretty down, to be honest. Just lost my little guy Vivid, my Crowntail. His health was never great, not since I got him from Wal-mart. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, and I don't think I'm ready to start cleaning out his tank just yet...

Hey guys, so I'm starting this new thread to see if I can get some help identifying the exact type of Betta these two little guys are. I know it's been a while since I posted about rescuing them from that horrible situation, but they're almost fully recovered now and I'm super curious.

One of them, I'm pretty sure is a Butterfly, his colors are just stunning and he's got those gorgeous long fins now. The other one is still a mystery, he's got this awesome green iridescence going on, but I have no idea what type of Betta he is.

I've been doing some research, but I just can't seem to find a match. I'll try to get some pictures up soon, but in the meantime, I was hoping some of you experts out there could take a stab at it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
