dead

The first betta fish that I got about 6 months ago died a few days ago and I don't understand what I did wrong. He used to live in a 30l (about 8gal) Mirabello newa tank, the pump, heater, light and 2 filters came with it, I only had to add the media to the pump. I cycled the tank before...

So this morning I was messing with my 5g betta tank, of which he shares with two snails(it's by a window so they work together on the algae) well sometime while I was doing this, one of my snails must have crawled out (first time!) and I didn't find him until about 4 or so hours later. He was...

Hello. In March I purchased a beautiful crown tailed betta. This was my first time ever owning a betta fish, so I did a bit of research before I bought him. I got him a 1.5 gallon bowl, BetaSafe tap water conditioner ( I gave him spring water from the store however ), Hydor 7.5w Slim Heater...

Please note that these fish are not mine, they are my 12 year old brothers & I'm posting this as to possibly get some help/insight I just checked on my brothers fish & found one of his guppies was missing(1 male and 2 females) and found one of the two females dead near the filter intake, had...

SOS! SOS! SOS! Guys, i need some serious help. Yesterday i got home from a trip with a new tank (11 litres) for my little betta Wilson. Transfered him over with no issues, he was happy and loving life like he usually does. I added in some new gravel, a spongebob decoration for him to hide in...

OK guys so with school starting I kinda forgot about my betta fish and now he's deathly ill. I forgot to feed him and he's still alive, but barely. His width (from birds-eye-view) is about a cm, maybe less. I feel so bad that's he's starving, and I will buy anything I can to get him better. I'll...

Hello all, I have had Betta's in the past and I have never had this issue before! I got one Betta in January of this year and he was thriving and doing very very well and then I got him a new tank, some new plants because this was a bigger tank and then two weeks later I came home to find him...

This might not be the place to post about this but I'm not sure where else to post it. I'm quite new to this community and I just got my lovely fish a few weeks ago. He had a ten gallon tank with a water heater, a filter that was kept above water to stop the snails getting into it, two snails...

Hercules, less than 120 minutes after my sister had settled him into his new tank, had died a sudden and unexpected death. But it ended up being her fault because apparently she had dumped him in probably less than room-temp water and... Long story short, don't do that. :\

So I had 2 bettas die on me from the same symptoms.. lethargic then dying overnight. After the first one died i treated with melafix and pimafix for a week then added another betta who succumbed to the same problem. I am changing my filter substrate and I found some sort of nymph in the water...

my beloved betta, harvey, passed away today. i don't understand what happened, as i have given my heart and soul to make sure he was happy and well. facts: i started him out in 10g, cycled it with him in it, added along the way 2 apple snails, 4 emerald coreys, and 5 neon tetras. the pet store...

... or perhaps not so mysterious. I'm hoping to find out what may have killed my betta, Carl. Carl was a veil finned betta, of unknown origin. He was supplied by the college as part of a study in my biology class, about two years ago, regarding the agnostic displays of male bettas. He was...

I've just moved out and bought this 2.5 gallon tank with a heater, and some java ferns. So far I have had 3 beta fish that all have not made it past a week old. I took my last dying fish to petsmart and they tested the water, came back great. They blamed it on "stress factor". I have regular...

My best friend moved away about a month ago and I inherited her betta, Bluey. He was already a few months old with her and she got him at Pet Club earlier this year... so I don't think he is more than 6 months old. Two nights ago, I heard a bit of crash while I was asleep. I had ear plugs on...

My boy Waldo has fin rot that isn't getting better despite salt dips and betta fix. Housing What size is your tank? Almost 2 gal What temperature is your tank? Around 80 Does your tank have a filter? No Does your tank have an air stone or other type of aeration? No Is your tank heated? Yes...

I have never and will never buy a fish from a chain like meijer or walmart. But I do shop there for other things, I've been there a few times in the past month or so and always go to the pet section to look at the betas and buy toys or accessories for my two dogs. I scanned every betta and 100%...

Not sure if it's shock or not. My friend did a water change earlier today, about a couple hours ago, and he randomly started doing weird things. I can only go by what she told me, since I wasn't there, but he started out by laying on the bottom of the tank and then he started "flopping around."...

My husband accidentally dropped a Betta at Petco a month or so ago, and we ended up with a new pet! I read up on Betta care, and thought I was doing a good job with Constantine. Unfortunately, we left for a weekend trip, and when I came back tonight, C was dead. He was on his back with a white...

So about 2-3 months ago, my friend's guinea pig died so another friend of ours got her a male HM (since PetSmart was out of Guinea pigs). He sits there in a one gallon bowl with basically nothing and a once a week water change. When I told her he needed more than that, she said she was bored of...

Hi, I'm new to this site but I was wondering if anyone could help me with my betta, barnabus. He seems to be in good health (swims around and eats like crazy) but he just gained this huge white patch over his eye and mouth area. Assuming that it was a fungal infection, I treated his 1 gallon...
