Elijah's gone and Toby's come

[HopeInHeart]

Well, I left for an overnight trip, and apparently my heater was not turned up high enough, because my fishies' water was really cold when I got back.
And my dear beautiful Elijah was dead. I'm convinced it was not either the cold or the constipation but a combination of the two that killed him, he was already under stress and the cold water was just too much to take.

On a happier note, while I was away I picked up a beautiful blue veiltale male, Toby. He seems to have quite a personality and will be a good match for Noel once everything's settled down.

RIP Elijah. Hope you have better luck with the new guy.

I'm so sorry about Elijah but I'm happy to hear about Toby!

[HopeInHeart]

Thanks guys. I still have pictures of Elijah on my camera so when we update our computer I can post them.

Toby came from a petstore near where my sister lives. The guy who owns the store hand-selects his animals and they only had three bettas, each of them in a tank with some other fish. (no little cups.) Toby does have some finrot, but I'll keep an eye on it.

That's like the store where I got Jaden. He was in a tank with other fish.And they only had one other betta that day.

I was watching the two for a bit, and took a closer look at Toby's fins. It appears that he actually does not have finrot, but perhaps a tiny bit of crowntail in his line.
