Just Floats, Side Ways...

[MistersMom]

Thank you.... but why do you think he was floating sideways?

[LebronTheBetta]

I don't know... Maybe a swim bladder problem. If he's just leaning, that's normal from being cold and such.

[MistersMom]

okay, and if he has difficulty breathing wat can cause that?

[LebronTheBetta]

High ammonia, high nitrite, high nitrate, etc.

[MistersMom]

he died, but thanks for your help, he was half dead when i got him, i was hopeing he may pull through but he didnt.

[LebronTheBetta]

Aw... I'm so sorry.. Don't feel bad, sometimes rescues just... Let go. At least he's not suffering anymore. You had good intentions, that's what matters. You cared. Unlike those employees at the store.

[MistersMom]

Thank you, and my mom also keeps reminding me that atleast i tried lol. I did, he just wasn't strong enough... :/

[LebronTheBetta]

That's true. You DID try. And he's probably eating mosquito larvae right now in the sky. Lol

[MistersMom]

im sure! lol.

That's what happens when you buy a sick and diseased fish. He is dying. and now you have brought his sickness to your home and everything he and his water has come into contact with. Would suck to get a healthy one and have THEM get sick because stuff was in your fish room.

BUY HEALTHY FISH!! save them from disease and let the sick ones die!
