I had 2 VT bettas that had died and i had no way to identify the disease, but in a matter or 8 days they were both dead.
Now 2 of my newer bettas have the exact same symptoms!!!! And i dont wont to loose them too!
They are both in different tanks, but they have the exact same problem and it started at the exact same time.
The have rips and holes in their tail, they wont flare but they are still eating for now but one of them seems to have digestion problems cos the pellets he eats come out almost the same except for a bit or compression when he poops.
Paladin (the one with digestion problems) also has white under his gills) but i cant tell with Pipin because he is white.
Can anyone PLEASE help me. I love them and if i loose them i will never know if i could have done something and it will kill me inside!
