Today I had to say goodbye to the fish that had started my love for all aquarium fish. Cosmo was my 3 (would have been 4 in October) male Veil Tail. I won him in a raffle at a poultry show, he came in an unheated, unfiltered gallon tank. I took him home, knowing only what about.com said about bettas. I kept him in this tank for about a month, then moved him into a 2.5. I didn't change his water for weeks, I eventually added a heater and filter. I did 100% water changes, I used vinegar to clean his tank, I forgot to feed him, I did everything wrong. I then started reading more about betta care. I changed my ways, I did weekly 50% water changes, I made sure to feed him, I took much better care. About 10 months ago I bought a 10 gal and got platys and shirmp. I put Cosmo in as well. This tank was perfect for him, he was happy, healthy and active. At least 3 times I thought he would die (when I was taking bad care) but he survived these years. Yesterday he was perfectly fine, which leads me to believe old age was the cause. Cosmo, you taught me so much about owning fish and I'm sorry about all the mistakes I made. I love you forever baby boy❤ Organism Fish Aquarium Freshwater aquarium Fish

I'm so sorry. 3 is a long life for a Betta! What a life he lived too! He loved you, and I know he knew you loved him and did your best. <3
