Btw it's a good thing you blame yourself, blaming the forum gets you in trouble, thats from experience.

I would never blame the forum! I not even really blaming myself too much. I probably should have made sure he couldn't jump out, but I just think it was just a terrible accident
There was nothing I could have done to save him, let alone the people on this forum who were giving me good advice in my moment of panic.
I'm not sure why all the deaths, I came home from spring break and 3 bettas were dead. I'm working under a suspicion that they were infected with dwarf gourami iridovirus, but honestly I have no idea if that was actually the cause of their deaths or not. From now on though, I'm going to be very careful not to contaminate any of my bettas with the water from my community tank, because all 3 that died had been exposed to it.

Thanks guys. I thought he could make it, but I guess I found him too late.

I think what your doing is all that can be done. Good luck I'm betting in a week or two he will be good as new if he does not contract anything from his slime coat being comprmised.
