thank you but now i have sad news, Maxi (blue) has passed away this morning. Its a sad day in my house today, but at least we know he had a good home for the 2 months he was with us.
very sorry for you loss What happened? You think he was sick? Did you share anything between him and Renji? Just at any time you buy new fish or anything live always quarantine it from your other fish in case he has something contagious .
I think he was sick, but since we got him i never shared anything between the two of them. My guess is that while i was away he got worse or stressed. Yesterday he was fine he was swimming and he ate. He even flared as i walked by his tank. I'm going to assume it was something I failed to notice.
Did you notice anything with his fins? Like a greyish/silver color? I lost my Tribadeau to this. He was fine and within 12 hours he was gone. http://www.bettafish.com/showthread.php?t=90086

As i look thru that link you posted it does look very familiar to how he looked. He was greyish and parts of him were black but not like fin rot and it looked like he was peeling. ugh i think about it and start feeling all bad. i was cleaning out his tank and all i could think of was how fast it happened. Now im watching over Renji like a hawk.
I hope Renji will be fine since you didn't share anything. If you buy another fish just quarantine it for 2 wks. Don't share anything between them . And also you can keep new fish in the tank without gravel or any decorations so you don't have to disinfect it. Do you need hints on disinfection ? I think since he passed that fast he might had something very contagious so i would disinfect the tank and everything in the tank.
