You were so unique I hope to find another similar.
He said it only took seconds after the clove oil was added to the fish bowl I keep for this kind of situation. I guess he kinda of exploded out his gills. What a sin.
RIP little fella.

So lots of prayers, good wishes, and good luck charms direct your healing powers to Sunny. It would be amazing if he was the lone betta survivor.

Unfortunely to love a betta, is to come to the conclusion that they aren't hardy fish and they may not last too long.
I am going to follow MMs regimen for her betta and see if it makes a differnce here with my betta. I was just using a stress coat/water condtioner for their water. I cleaned their tanks too too much...so I am going do exactly as MM does for her water changes.


My bf is using one the 10gs for a pair of SW clownfish. One of the 10gs is a quarantine/sick tank as is one of the 5gs.
